Christmas Acts Of Kindness.

"Christmas
is coming, the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the
old man's hat ."
Remember that nursery rhyme from your
childhoold? I sure do.
Christmas
is a time for giving. To the poor, as well as to our own families.
Sometimes we lose sight of that.
The commercialization
of Christmas
over the past twenty years or so has turned Christmas
into a present-giving frenzy, particularly if you've got kids.
And if you don't, the Christmas
period is likely to consist of lots of parties around the Christmas
tree, often with Kris
Kringle type Christmas
gift
giving, and often far too much alcohol.
Christmas
stockings and Christmas
decorations are too often overtaken by overindulgence in Christmas
food,
and the ubiquitous Christmas
eggnog and other alcohol - lots of it.
Is this a good thing? Well, I guess it
depends to some extent on your perspective of what Christmas
traditions are all about. Those of us who latch on to any excuse
for a booze-up, the Christmas
party period must be wonderful. Hang up a few Christmas
ornaments in the workplace or the social club or wherever, and
have a boozy Christmas
party - it may be your best chance to start an office romance.
But I think many of us have become somewhat
jaded by the way Christmas
is used as an excuse for Christmas
parties starting in November and running right through December
to Christmas
Eve. Get togethers with your workmates is not a bad thing,
of course - it's nice to socialize once in a while instead of
being focussed on work. But it's the overindulgence which many
of us find somewhat over the top.
Many of our kids don't have any idea
of the true meaning of Christmas.
To many, Christmas
trees and Christmas
ornaments mean Santa
Claus and Christmas
gifts
- lots and lots of them. Even those kids who can tell you what
Christmas
is all about are apt to forget the true meaning of Christmas
when deluged with Christmas
gifts.
Whatever happened to the true spirit
of Christmas,
when people would cook two traditional Christmas
dinners - one for their own family,
and one which they would take out and give to a less fortunate
family
who maybe lived just down the street?
Whatever happened to the true spirit
of Christmas,
when kids would carefully select and wrap up their loved but
still in good condition Christmas
gifts
from last year, and take them to the local children's hospital,
and actually hand the Christmas
gift
to a sick child just to see the smile on their faces?
These days people are more likely to
give money to various charities (which is not a bad thing) than
do acts of service, or actually give hand picked gifts
of food
or toys.
But money
is so much more impersonal.
So how about trying to make a difference
this Christmas?
Get out and give something personal - to someone you can look
in the eye when you're giving the Christmas
food
or Christmas
gift
- and say from the heart - "Merry
Christmas".

Christmas & Santa Claus Overview
"The legend of Santa
Claus begins with a real person who lived in the 4th
century in the village of Patra in what is now known
as Turkey. St. Nicholas came from a wealthy Christian
home, and when his parents died when he was young
he followed the biblical precept to sell what you
own and give to the poor.
One story told about St. Nicholas
is about his concern for a poor man that had three
daughters. This man could not provide a dowry for
his daughters, which at that time destined them to
slavery. It is said that three bags of gold mysteriously
appeared in their stockings or shoes that were left
in front of the fireplace to dry. After this many
children left their stockings in front of the fireplace
in hopes of finding gold coins in them, too. Thus
an unseen event brings hope that a child's future
can be bright.(Cited from the article "Yes, There
is a Santa Claus" written by Teresa McEachern,

Christmas Stories' Reviews & Reports
Jesus (8–2 BC/BCE
to 29–36 AD/CE), also known as Jesus of Nazareth,
is the central figure of Christianity. He is commonly
referred to as Jesus Christ, where "Christ"
is a title derived from the Greek christós,
meaning the "Anointed One", which corresponds
to the Hebrew-derived "Messiah". The name "Jesus"
is an Anglicization of the Greek Iesous, itself
believed to be a transliteration of the Hebrew Yehoshua
or Aramaic Yeshua, meaning "YHWH is salvation".
The main sources of information regarding Jesus' life
and teachings are the four canonical Gospels of the
New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Most
scholars in the fields of history and biblical studies
agree that Jesus was a Jewish teacher from Galilee,
who was regarded as a healer, was baptized by John
the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on orders
of the Roman Governor Pontius Pilate under the accusation
of sedition against the Roman Empire. Moreover, the
majority of scholars furthermore agree on the historicity
of Jesus’ burial, the discovery of his empty tomb,
his post-mortem appearances, and the origin of the
disciples’ belief in his resurrection. A small number
of scholars and authors question the historical existence
of Jesus, with some arguing for a completely mythological
Jesus.
Christian views of Jesus (see also Christology) center
on the belief that Jesus is the Messiah whose
coming was promised in the Old Testament and that
he was resurrected after his crucifixion. Christians
predominantly believe that Jesus is God incarnate,
who came to provide salvation and reconciliation with
God by atoning for the sins of humanity with his death.
Nontrinitarian Christians profess various other interpretations
regarding his divinity. Other Christian beliefs
include Jesus' Virgin Birth, performance of miracles,
fulfillment of biblical prophecy, ascension into Heaven,
and future Second Coming.
In Islam, Jesus (Arabic: commonly transliterated as
Isa) is considered one of God's most beloved
and important prophets, a bringer of divine scripture,
and also the Messiah. Muslims, however, do
not share the Christian belief in the crucifixion
or divinity of Jesus. Muslims believe that Jesus'
crucifixion was a divine illusion and that he ascended
bodily to heaven. Most Muslims also believe that he
will return to the earth as Messiah in the company
of the Mahdi once the earth has become full of sin
and injustice. (Cited from Wikipedia

Christmas & Santa Claus Articles & Contents
"Santa Claus's reindeers'
names : Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,
Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen are the most commonly
cited names of Santa's nine reindeer. In the poem "The
Night Before Christmas" (attributed to Clement C.
Moore), from which the names of the reindeer come, the
reindeer known today as Donner and Blitzen were originally
Dunder and Blixem (the Dutch words "Donder" and "Bliksem"
stand for "thunder" and "lightning", as rendered in
English orthography). Dunder was later reprinted as
Donder, which developed into Donner (the German for
"thunder"); while Blixem was reprinted as Blitzen (Blitz
is German for "lightning"). All of these reindeer names
are recited in the first verse of the popular song Rudolph
the Red-Nosed Reindeer, which in turn has helped
make Rudolph by far the best known and most popular
with children.
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer was born for the American
department store chain Montgomery Ward in 1939, and
has since entered the public consciousness as Santa's
ninth and lead reindeer. . " (Cited from Wikipedia
