One Bright Shining Star
So long ago, so far away
On a star filled silent night
A miracle of birth took place
Oh! What a Holy sight!
The Angels filled a starry sky
To trumpet in His birth
For on this night a King was born
And graced all upon this earth.
With One Bright Shining Star
The Angels led the way
To guide them to the manger
Where the tiny Boy Child lay.
Just One Bright Shining Star
They followed on that day
And when they found the manger
They all knelt down to pray.
Peace on Earth, good will to all
Sang a choir of Angel voices
Jesus comes to us this night
And all the world rejoices!
~ by Charlotte Anselmo

One evening, in a busy lounge in the deep south, a reindeer walked
in the door, bellied up to the bar and ordered a martini. Without
batting an eye, the bartender mixed and poured the drink, set it
in front of the reindeer, and accepted the twenty-dollar bill from
the reindeer's hoof.
As he handed the reindeer some coins in change, he said, "You know,
I think you're the first reindeer I've ever seen in here."
The reindeer looked hard at the hoofful of change and said, "Hmmm.
Let me tell you something, buddy. At these prices, I'm the Last
reindeer you'll see in here."

Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you
just sit there.
Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should
both be changed regularly and for the same reason.

at the right time, but also to leave unsaid the wrong thing at
the tempting moment.

Life not only begins at forty, it also begins to show.
You don't stop laughing because you grow old, you grow old

>REUNION
By Linda Shawhan
My husband, Jack, and his three younger brothers, through a
wonderful turn of events, were able to be together the first time
since their mother died nearly 25 years ago.
What fun it was to see these men, who I first knew as teens, come
together, now grandpas all. The years seemed to slip away as these
brothers began to tease and cajole one another as they had so many
years before. They told stories on one another and clear were the
memories of their lives, the four of them and their parents, living
in that little 24' X 24' basement they called home in Omaha.
Three of us, their wives of many years, now looked on and heard once
again the much-loved, often-told tales from the periphery. These are
"good guys" - they have worked hard for many years, they are ethical,
love their wives, their families, each other, and their Lord. They
have done much to live these out in front of their own children and
grandchildren. From the treehouses, forts and mogul caves they built
and played in some 50 years ago as boys, they now laughed and shared
in voices deeper with age those memories and their plans for
downsizing and retiring.
All of us, now slower, rounder, and grayer were blessed to witness
these hours of brief, sweet reunion. Years of moves, wars,
surgeries, funerals, brides, babies, and baptisms filled the gap of
the years since they last met as one and were blessed to come
nearly full-circle by the grace of God.
Many of you reading this may have occasion in the next few holiday
weeks to join with family. Some of you may be excited about this
prospect, some of you may anticipate these reunions with dread.
Please proceed through these holy days in prayer and ask the Lord
to be in the midst of the familial meetings.
There is an old saying: Make long-range plans as though you were
going to live forever, and live today as if it were your last day
on earth.
As I have told our family, it is important to stay paid up and
prayed up for our days are short. Bind yourselves together so that
as storms come and old age is near, you can help one another and be
strong in your family and strong in the Lord.
"We can make our plans, but the final outcome is in God's hands"
Proverbs 16:1.

>TEST TO SEE IF YOU'RE A GRINCH
~ You reuse last year's Christmas cards and send them out under
your own name. (5 points)
~ You steal light bulbs from you neighbor's outdoor display to
replenish your own supply. (5 points; 10 if neighbor's whole light
sets or lighted Santa goes out)
~ You have dressed a dog or cat as Santa Claus, elf helper, or
reindeer. (10 points for each; if you dressed an endangered
species, 5 extra points)
~ You put out last year's stale candy canes for children. (1 point
for each piece of sticky candy; if you also put out a chocolate or
marzipan Santa, add 10 points)
~ You enclose a shoddy and inferior gift from Target or Walmart
in a Macy's box to impress your friends. (5 points for each
infraction)
~ At the office Christmas party, you horde huge stockpiles of
goodies for later consumption at home. (5 points; 15 points if you
use this stuff for your own party)
~ You steal the wreath from a parked car to use on your own.
(Southern California & Florida only, others ignore: 5 points)
~ After an invitation to a friend's house, you bring a
commercially-produced fruitcake and try to pass it off as homemade.
(5 points; 15 points if the fruitcake is from last year)
~ Taking toys from the Toys-for-Tots collection bins is a definite
no-no. (20 points)
Evaluate your score on the "Grinch Scale" from 20 to 100:
20-30: You're just a cheeseball.
30-50: You're an apprentice in Yuletide larceny and are probably
wanted for overdue parking tickets.
50-100: Grinch, move over!

The family was gathered at dinner.
The oldest boy announced he was going to marry the girl across
the street.
"But her family didn't leave her a penny," objected his father.
"And she hasn't saved a cent," added mother.
"She doesn't know a thing about football," said junior.
"I've never seen a girl with such funny hair," said sister.
"All she does is read novels," said uncle.
"And such poor taste in the choice of her clothes," said aunt.
"But she isn't sparing of the powder and the paint," said grandma.
"True," said the boy. "But she has one supreme advantage over
all of us."
"What's that? everyone wanted to know.
"She has no family.

Recently a young woman came into my father's insurance office
with her newborn twins.
Dad asked her if she ever had any trouble telling them apart.

any problem. This is Benjamin, and this is Elizabeth."

An atheist was spending a quiet day fishing, when suddenly his
boat was attacked by the Loch Ness Monster.
In one easy flip, the beast tossed him and his boat high into
the air. Then it opened its mouth to swallow both.
As the man sailed head over heels, he cried out, "Oh, my God! Help
me!"
At once, the ferocious attack scene froze in place, and as the
atheist hung in mid air, a booming voice came down from the clouds,
"I thought you didn't believe in Me?"
"Come on, God, give me a break!" the man pleaded. "Two minutes ago,
I didn't believe in the Loch Ness Monster either!"

A very successful businessman had a meeting with his new son-in-law.
"I love my daughter, and now I welcome you into the family," said
the man. "To show you how much we care for you, I'm making you a
50-50 partner in my business. All you have to do is go to the
factory every day and learn the operations."
The son-in-law interrupted. "I hate factories. I can't stand the
noise."
"I see," replied the father-in-law. "Well then you'll work in the
office and take charge of some of the operations."
"I hate office work," said the son-on-law. "I can't stand being
stuck behind a desk all day."
"Wait a minute," said the father-in-law. "I just made you a half-
owner of a profitable corporation, but you don't like factories
and won't work in a office. What am I going to do with you?"
"Easy," said the young man. "Buy me out!!!"

The Alaska Department of Fish and Game, issued this bulletin:
In light of the rising frequency of human/grizzly bear conflicts,
the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is advising hikers, hunters,
and fishermen to take extra precautions and keep alert of bears
while in the field.
"We advise outdoorsmen to wear noisy little bells on their clothing
so as not to startle bears that aren't expecting them. We also
advise outdoorsmen to carry pepper spray with them in case of an
encounter with a bear. It is also a good idea to watch out for
fresh signs of bear activity.
Outdoorsmen should recognize the difference between black bear and
grizzly bear manure:
Black bear manure is smaller and contains lots of berries and
squirrel fur.
Grizzly bear manure has little bells in it and smells like pepper."

A motorcycle cop was rushed to the hospital with an inflamed
appendix. The doctors operated and advised him that all was well.
However, the patrolman kept feeling something pulling at the hairs
on his chest. Worried that it might be a second surgery the doctors
hadn't told him about, he finally got enough energy to pull his
hospital gown down enough so he could look at what was making him
so uncomfortable.
Taped firmly across his hairy chest were three wide strips of
adhesive tape, the ultra sticky kind. Written in large black letters
was the sentence, "Get well soon! Luv, from the nurse you gave a
ticket to last week!"

Curtis & Leroy Mule Traders
Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Hearald-Citizen in Cookeville,
Tn. and bought a mule for $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the
mule the next day.
The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, fellows,
I have some bad news, the mule died last night."
Curtis & Leroy replied, "Well, then just give us our money
back."
The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."
The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead
mule?"
Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."
The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
Leroy said, "We shore can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's
dead!"
A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy
at the IGA grocery store and asked, “What'd you fellers ever do
with that dead mule?”
They said, "We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do."
Leroy said, "Shucks, we sold 1000 tickets fer two dollars apiece
and made a profit of $1998.00
The farmer said, "My goodness, didn't anyone complain?"
Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we just gave
him his two dollars back."
Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.

If you're planning any holiday get togethers over the
next week or two but don't want to spend any extra money
on decorations, try salvaging some materials from your
storage closet.
If you ever get gifts wrapped in fancy ribbon, always save
it! You can use it on in next year's Christmas display.
Tie up a wreath, or wrap it around a bowl full of candy
canes. Or if you can't think of anything else creative to
do with it, tie up presents with it.
* Make your own, natural outdoor and indoor decorations
Cut some lengths of it from trees around your home if
able. If not, a brief stroll through your local forest
preserve should produce the material you need, or ask
friends or neighbors if you may walk their wooded property
in search of it.
Use greens such as those from freshly cut Pine or other
evergreens to make wreaths or decorative sheaves. Use
sprigs of Holly or other red berry producing shrubs to
add color and contrast. Don't forget to tie it all together
with some of that cloth ribbon you saved.
* Start thinking about decorating on December 26th
After Christmas sales are the best time to grab Christmas
decor for as much as 90 percent off. A little bit of
foresight the day or two after Christmas will earn you
huge discounts on everything from wrapping paper and lights
to tree stands and aprons.

'Tis the season to deck your home in some holiday, mood-
enhancing perfect plants. And surprisingly it's easier
than you think to keep these beautiful plants and center-
pieces flourishing throughout the season.
Below are two tips that I found, and actually I even
learned something new. These are two tips I'm even going
to try this season!
* Freshen up your holiday centerpieces
The thing that makes flowers in centerpieces wilt fastest
once they are cut is bacteria in the water, which is no
longer being filtered by the flowers' roots.
To help blooms last longer, just give the bouquet a drink
from your water-filtered pitcher, or pour in some leftover
water from boiling potatoes or veggies after it cools.
Water from veggies have extra - extra nutrients!
* Make wreaths last longer with hairspray!
Yep, you read that right... hairspray!
The key to keeping your pine wreath looking and smelling
fresh is as close as your bathroom cabinet.
Turns out, a spritz of hairspray seals in moisture and keeps
the pine needles from drying out.
Your outside wreath may need a spritz or two every few days
to keep them looking gorgeous.

To be perfectly honest, folks, I prefer summer tips to
winter tips. Probably because I prefer summer to winter.
But as long as we're facing three long months of cold,
snowy, wet weather, we might as well prepare for it.
* Do you shovel or use a snow blower?
Either way when that snow start to freeze onto whatever
you're using it can make the chore twice as hard. To keep
your snow blower from clogging simply spray the auger and
inside the discharge chute with cooking spray before
launching into snowdrifts. You can also spray it on your
shovel so snow won't stick.
* Don't forget to keep a good amount of gas in your car
during the cold months...
Gas up! During cold weather months, it's a good practice to
keep at least a half a tank of gasoline in your vehicle at
all times.
Not only does it prevent you from being stranded, but it
prevents any water vapor in the tank from freezing, which
can damage the fuel pump.
* Leave those wet winter boots at the door...
Whether you have kids coming home from school, you were out
shoveling, or taking part in any outdoor winter travel, no
one wants to walk into the house with their wet boots.
Create a simple drying system with a large plastic tray.
This lets boots drip dry inside without messing up floors.

The father of a Wisconsin woman hurriedly reported to
authorities in late November that she sent him a text saying
she was being stabbed. The Winnebago County dispatch center
contacted Menasha police, and eight officers were sent to
the woman's apartment. But there was one little problem.
"He indicated that his daughter was being stabbed, possibly
by a live-in boyfriend. He provided an address to check on,"
said Officer Nick Oleszak. "Meanwhile, we tried to call her
dad back and tried to reach his daughter, but were unable
to reach her."
Officers were positioned outside the apartment, when - to
everyone's surprise - the woman showed up. It turned out
that she hadn't been stabbed after all. She wasn't feeling
well and went to a clinic in Neenah to be tested for
COVID-19. She sent a text to her dad to let him know she
was being swabbed.
But she sent it without noticing that autocorrect changed
"swabbed" to "stabbed."
"She said she was fine and it was all a misunderstanding,"
Oleszak said. Oleszak said the woman apparently saw the
text message while she was at the clinic and learned that
police were outside the apartment.

Man caught on video rollerblading naked on Ohio highway
while wearing a panda head.
Authorities in Ohio are trying to identify a man who was
filmed rollerblading while naked on a highway. The man is
wearing only a panda head and appears to be carrying a golf
club. The video is circulating on social media.
According to a local Columbus station, "A spokesperson for
the Ohio Department of Transportation, who had seen the
video, said the ODOT cameras store information for 72 hours,
and that the video didn't seem shot on Wednesday, a snowy
day for the city. Instead, Tuesday at 3:34 is the most
likely time.
On that day, traffic cameras at Neil Avenue were facing
west, which means it did not capture the naked man in the
panda head skating east. Cameras are set to spin every 15
minutes, which means they were pointing in the wrong
direction."

*--- OK, what's with the monoliths? ---*
A metallic structure that appeared via unknown circumstances
outside a Florida bar is drawing comparisons to the
mysterious monoliths that popped up around the globe. The
Pierced Cider bar in Fort Pierce posted photos to Facebook
of the 10-foot-tall metal monolith that was first spotted
outside the business Wednesday morning. The business said
security camera footage failed to record the structure's
installation. The object bears a resemblance to the
monoliths that have been spotted in various locations around
the globe after the first was discovered in November in the
Utah desert. The Fort Pierce Police Department said
investigators have no information about the object.

A Texas high school student arrived to take his final exams
in a hazmat suit after his family said the district isn't
doing enough to protect students and families from COVID-19.
Houston teenager Mason Kalkofen showed up to Spring Woods
High School's campus in a full suit of personal protective
gear after the school district mandated that virtual learners
take their final exams on the school's campus. "I'm having
to go in a hazmat suit," Kalkofen said. "That way I can
protect my family." The family said they asked the school to
allow the teenager to take his exams virtually, but the
request was refused. They said multiple letters have been
sent home informing families of positive coronavirus cases
at the school. Spring Branch Independent School District
said officials "offered the family multiple testing options,
including the option of the student testing alone in a room
with only one proctor present wearing PPE. The family
refused all options."

A Virginia man said he had "a feeling" about some numbers
he copied down from a TV show that led to his buying 160
tickets for a single lottery drawing -- and winning
$800,000. Kwame Cross of Dumfries told Virginia Lottery
officials he bought 160 tickets for the Pick 4's Dec. 5
night drawing and all of the tickets bore the same number
combination: 7314. "I saw an address in a TV show, in the
background, and for some reason it stayed with me," he
told Lottery officials. "I just had a feeling." Each of
Cross' 160 tickets won a $5,000 top prize in the drawing,
for a grand total of $800,000. "I thought, 'This can't be
real!'" he said. "I had to pull over and check like 82
times. It feels surreal!" Cross said he hasn't yet decided
what to do with his winnings.

>Representing Christmas
Three men die in a car accident Christmas Eve. They all find
themselves at the pearly gates waiting to enter Heaven. On
entering they must present something relating or associated
with Christmas.
The first man searches his pocket, and finds some Mistletoe,
so he is allowed in.
The second man presents a chestnut, so he is also allowed in.
The third man pulls out a pair of stockings.
Confused at this last gesture, St. Peter asks, "How do these
represent Christmas?"
The man answers, "They're Carol's!"

The wife and I were out to lunch the other weekend at one
of the few restaurants in our area that is still seating
people inside, but they were strictly following all of the
other pandemic restrictions like only allowing 50 percent
seating capacity and requiring all of their staff to wear
personal protection masks, or P.P. as they're called in the
industry.
So we walked through the front door and the wife immediately
made a detour to the bathroom to wash her hands while I
wandered into the dining room. In a minute a young hostess
came up to greet me and led me over to a table.
I saw she was wearing a mask that looked like it came from
our collection of unique graphic masks so I said to her, "I
like your P.P."
She said, "Excuse me?!"
I said, "I like your P.P. Where did you get it?"
She answered, "That is NONE of your business."
"What? Is it a secret?" I said. "I'm into P.P. and I'm just
curious."
"I don't care WHAT you're into," she came back.
"Well, not me personally," I told her, "but the company
I work for."
"That's disgusting."
"I know some people don't like it, but we all have to do
it."
Just then the wife walked up to where we were standing
and caught the tail end of the conversation.
"He's talking about your mask!" she quickly interjected.
"Your personal protection."
"Oh!" A look of relief washed over the girl's face.
"Why?" I asked. "What did you think I was talking about?"
"Nothing," she said. "Nothing."
I never realized people get so touchy about their P.P.

One day on his way to work, my husband stopped at the
cafeteria as it began to rain.
Forgetting that he hadn't brought an umbrella, he reached
for the nearest one when he got up to leave.
"That's my umbrella," a woman immediately scolded.
Abashed at his mistake, he apologized and walked on to his
office. He was drenched by the time he arrived.
Once there, he discovered three umbrellas that he had left
in the office over the months, and he decided to bring them
home at the end of the day.
That afternoon he ran into the same woman who had confronted
him earlier.
She looked at the umbrellas, then at him, and tartly
remarked: "Did real well for yourself today, didn't you?"

One day a woman called to say that a family member had
fallen and needed to go to a hospital. After finding out
where she lived and assuring her that the paramedics would
arrive shortly, I asked her, "Do you know what caused the
fall?"
"No," the woman nervously replied. "What?"

While doing a crossword puzzle, I asked for my husband's
help.
"The word is eight letters long and starts with 'm', and
the clue is 'tiresome sameness.'"
"Monogamy," he answered.

After finishing an out-of-town errand, I discovered that
my car wouldn't start because it was out of gas. A passer-
by told me there was a service station a half-mile away,
so I took a gas can from the trunk and trudged the distance
in the sweltering sun.
The attendant filled my two-gallon can, and I lugged it
back and poured the gas into the tank. But when I tried to
unlock the car door, it wouldn't open. Just then, I noticed
an identical old car parked a short distance away. That was
my car; I had filled a stranger's gas tank.
Wearily I walked back to the station. "You know," the
attendant suggested helpfully, "instead of walking back and
forth to fill the tank from the can, you could put a couple
of gallons in the tank and then drive the car here."

While I was dining in the restaurant of a large hotel, I
heard a loud crash. A waitress had dropped a whole tray of
coffee cups, plates, and dishes. Being only a couple tables
away from her, I felt a stinging pain in my hand where I was
cut from the shattered debris. I was immediately escorted to
the hotel doctor.
"What happened?" he asked.
I said, "I was attacked by a flying saucer."

>Letter from Santa
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS,
HE LIVED ALL ALONE,
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF
PLASTER AND STONE.
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY
WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE,
AND TO SEE JUST WHO
IN THIS HOME DID LIVE.
I LOOKED ALL ABOUT,
A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE,
NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS,
NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY MANTLE,
JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND,
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES
OF FAR DISTANT LANDS.
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES,
AWARDS OF ALL KINDS,
A SOBER THOUGHT
CAME THROUGH MY MIND.
FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT,
IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER,
ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY.
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING,
SILENT, ALONE,
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR
IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME.
THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE,
THE ROOM IN SUCH DISORDER,
NOT HOW I PICTURED
A UNITED STATES SOLDIER.
WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ?
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED?
I REALIZED THE FAMILIES
THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT,
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS
WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT.
SOON ROUND THE WORLD,
THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY,
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE
A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY.
THEY ALL ENJOYED FREEDOM
EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR,
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS,
LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP WONDER
HOW MANY LAY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE
IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME.
THE VERY THOUGHT
BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE,
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES
AND STARTED TO CRY.
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED
AND I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE,
"SANTA DON'T CRY,
THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE;
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM,
I DON'T ASK FOR MORE,
MY LIFE IS MY GOD,
MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS."
THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER
AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP,
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT,
I CONTINUED TO WEEP.
I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS,
SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SHIVERED
FROM THE COLD NIGHT'S CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE
ON THAT COLD, DARK, NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOR
SO WILLING TO FIGHT.
THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER,
WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE,
WHISPERED, "CARRY ON SANTA,
IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY, ALL IS SECURE."
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH, AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT.
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND, AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT."
This poem was written by a Marine stationed in Okinawa Japan. The
following is his request. I think it is reasonable.....
PLEASE. Would you do me the kind favor of sending this to as many
people as you can? Christmas will be coming soon and some
credit is due to our U.S. service men and women for our being able to
celebrate these festivities.
Let's try in this small way to pay a tiny bit of what
we owe. Make people stop and think of our heroes, living and dead,
who sacrificed themselves for us. Please, do your small part to plant
this small seed.

>HINTS From - I'm Lizzy!! and I'm not Martha!!!
My goodness...here we are in the thick of the holidays. I have
gotten many letters about Christmas trees...buying one...keep-
ing safety first...and decorating a tree. So today and Friday's
editions are going to address your questions as best I know how.
If you have any tips or suggestions that I haven't covered...
PLEASE email me. I can always count on you for coming to my
rescue.

* The most popular varieties of Christmas trees are:
Fraser Fir, Douglas Fir, White Pine, Scotch Pine, Noble Fir
and Balsam Fir.
*The most important consideration is freshness.
Many Christmas trees are trucked a considerable distance,
sometimes part way across the continent and days or even
weeks may pass between the time the trees are cut and when
they arrive for sale. Always ask the vendor where the tree
has come from and how long ago it was cut...I'm not always
sure that you will get a truthful answer or that the high
school kid working part time will even know the correct
answer, but ask anyway. If possible, buy a locally produced
tree. You guys in Hawaii will be out of luck there, I sup-
pose...whenever possible, buy local.
* Does it appear green and healthy with a fragrant smell
and moist flexible needles or is there evidence of drying
or browning?
Avoid any trees with broken branches or damaged bark. Bounce
the tree lightly on its cut end if you can or shake it. Does
this result in an inevitable little sprinkling or does it
produce a shower of needles? If needles rain down, you might
be wise to look around a little more.
* The next consideration after freshness is size.
Make sure the tree you buy will fit comfortably in the room
and location you have chosen. Use a tape measure if necessary.
Check the bottom of the tree. Is there enough space between
the end and the lowest branches to make a slightly diagonal
fresh cut?
Cutting an extra inch off the bottom before mounting your
tree will greatly help water absorption and ensure your tree
lasts as long as possible. Be sure to make this final cut
just before placing it in water. If it is exposed to the air
for too long, the vessels will become blocked.

Now...let's talk in depth about tree safety. Some things are
important enough to mention twice...so don't be surprised if
I remind you of these points.
* Always choose a freshly cut tree. To test a tree, strike the
stump down on a firm surface. If needles fall off, the tree is
too dry.
* Consider buying a live tree instead. You can plant it later
to enjoy it for years to come.
* When you are ready to set the tree up cut off 1/2 to 1 inch
from the bottom of the tree before placing in the stand which
should be filled with hot water (not boiling, but around 130-
160º F) as soon as the tree is set up.
* The tree could absorb as much as a gallon of water the first
day.
* Use wire or nylon cord to secure the tree to the wall or
ceiling to prevent it from being knocked over by children
or pets
* Place the tree away from heat sources and, of course, from
sparks and open flame.
* Always keep the tree well watered. Check and refill often.

* Use only noncombustible decorations.
* Check and replace any worn or damaged light sets. It is a
good practice to replace any set that is more that four or
five years old.
* Use only U.L. or F.M. approved light strings; spot or flo-
odlights should only be used on an artificial tree; NO CANDLES!
* Avoid overloading electrical circuits or creating "octopus"
connections.
* Do not use cellophane. There is no way to make it flameproof.
* Treat trees with a Fire Marshal approved flame retardant.
* Do not use cotton batting -- including Santa's whiskers --
or paper decorations unless they have been treated with a
flame-retardant treatment.
* Disconnect the lights at bedtime or when unattended
* Use miniature lights that produce less heat.
* Make sure there in an operational smoke detector installed
nearby.
* Remove discarded wrappings and packages from the house im-
mediately and never burn them in the woodstove or fireplace -
it could cause a chimney fire.
* Do not burn tree branches in the fireplace - it could throw
off a large amount of heat and cause a fire. Christmas trees
also cause an oily soot which may damage the fireplace.
So there you are...all the info to buy the tree. When you set
it up, give it at least 24 hours in place BEFORE you start to
decorate. This is a really good tip. The branches will rest
into its true shape and you will have a better looking tree
when you are done.
Lizzy

>Matching Shoes
John and Nancy were married for 40 years and decided they wanted to
renew their vows and planned a second wedding.
They were discussing the details with their friends. Nancy wasn't
going to wear a traditional bridal gown and she started describing
the dress she was planning to wear. One of her friends asked what
color shoes she had to go with the dress.
Nancy replied, "Silver."
At that point, her husband chimed in, "Yep silver...to match her
hair."
Shooting a glaring look at John's bald spot, Nancy's friend said,
"So, John, I guess you're going barefoot."

>Best Arrangement
Two old men were sitting on a park bench outside the local town hall
where a flower show was in progress.
One leaned over the other and said, "Crimony sakes! Life is boring.
We never have any fun these days. For $5.00, I'd take my clothes off
and streak through the darned flower show!"
"You're on!" said the other old fellow, holding up five dollars.
As fast as he could, the first old man fumbled his way out of his
clothes, and while completely naked, streaked through the front door
of the town hall.
His friend heard a huge commotion inside the hall, followed by a loud
roar of applause. The streaker burst back out through the door
surrounded by a cheering crowd. Hurriedly, he ran over to his eager
buddy.
"Wow, what happened?" asked his friend.
"It was great!" he said, "I won first prize for best dried
arrangement!"

>What was That?!
Two elderly women were out driving in a large car, both women barely
large enough to see over the dashboard. As they cruised along, they
came to an intersection. The stoplight was red but they just went on
through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, I must
be losing it, I could have sworn we just went through a red light.
After a few more minutes, they came to another intersection, the
light was red, and again they went right through. This time, the
passenger was almost sure that the light had been red, but was also
concerned that she might be seeing things. She was getting nervous
and decided to pay very close attention. At the next intersection,
sure enough, the light was definitely red and they went right
through it.
She turned to the other woman and said, "Mildred! Did you know we
just ran through three red lights in a row? You could have killed
us!"
Mildred turned to her and cried, "Holy Crap! Am I driving?"

A wonderful look at some special moments Bob spent with the troops
during his many Christmas performances. Bob Hope was without a doubt
one of the greatest entertainers of all time. What a classic
entertainer he was and I’m sure that anyone that ever saw him
perform live will never forget the show. Thank You to all the
Veterans that ever spent a Christmas away from their family and to
Bob Hope for spending his Christmas with the troops.

“Christmas Where You Are” is a beautiful Christmas song for all the
men and women of the armed forces serving around the world. Written
by Five For Fighting and Jim Brickman the song is a heartfelt Thank
You to those in the military and their families and they hope it
will bring a little holiday joy for Christmas! If you have ever
spent a Christmas in the military then you know how special spending
Christmas with those you love is.

World War Two veteran Vince Speranza tells the Airborne Beer story
that occurred at the Battle of the Bulge. Vince was serving in the
101st Airborne Division at the Battle of the Bulge. The 101st
Airborne was cut off from the rest of the Army and was holding
Bastogne when Vince was sent to find some radio batteries for his
company. He got a little sidetracked on his mission when he stopped
to visit a wounded friend and the rest is history.

Actor Kevin Sorbo plays a police officer trying to repair some
broken relationships in this Christmas video of “Silent Night” by
The Tabernacle Choir. The soundtrack of “Silent Night” is set to
Mack Wilberg’s arrangement of the classic Christmas carol and
performed by The Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square.

“O Holy Night” performed by GENTRI – The Gentlemen Trio in this
music video is entertaining to watch but see if you don’t find a
deeper message within the video. Christmas is a time of celebration
for many people and their families but it can also be a depressing
and lonely time of year.

"I read about a woman from California who is driving by
herself across the country to visit every single Costco
in the U.S. So far, she's traveled 2,000 miles - and that
was just walking through one Costco." -Jimmy Fallon
"Pope Francis has warned the media to stop spreading false
information. Or as the media reported it, 'World's Top
Rabbi Says 'Keep Up the Good Work!'" -Conan O'Brien
"Today in 1884, the Washington Monument was completed, and
if George Washington were here today to see it he would
probably say, 'That looks nothing like me.'" -Seth Meyers
One of the first things you learn on your honeymoon is,
when you're carrying your bride over the threshold, always
go in sideways -- unless of course two broken ankles and
a concussion turn you on.
"In other weird Japanese news - or as they call it in
Japan, news - there are now plans for a park in Japan that
will be a combination of a hot springs spa and an amusement
park. It either sounds nice or like a sanitary nightmare."
-James Corden
"Two Connecticut residents stole over $1,000 worth of
candles from the Yankee Candle Village. The suspects are
being described as white." -Conan O'Brien
"Tonight was the lighting of the Rockefeller Center
Christmas tree. Thousands of people waited for hours in
the cold just to go, 'Cool. OK, back to the hotel, let's
go back to the hotel.'" -Jimmy Fallon
The government will be requiring new food labels that are
more specific. Products will now be labeled, no fat, low
fat, reduced fat and fat, but great personality.
"I write down everything I want to remember. That way,
instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what
it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper
