TIDBITS® CELEBRATES

Christmas Around the Worldby Rick Dandes

Christmas means laughing and spending time with family and friends, but most importantly, it honors the birth of Jesus. Join Tidbits on a jour-ney around the world as we explore how various cultures celebrate this holiday.

• Firsts and lasts: In 1836, Alabama was the first state in the United States to declare Christmas a legal holiday. U.S. President Franklin Pierce, in 1856, decorated the first White House Christmas tree. And in 1907, Oklahoma was the last state to declare Christmas a legal holiday.

• The idea for using electric Christmas lights came from an American named Ralph E. Morris in 1895. The new lights proved safer than the more traditional candles.

• The first Christmas card was created in England in 1843. Hallmark introduced its first Christmas cards in 1915, five years after the founding of the company. An average household in America will mail out 28 Christmas cards each year and see 28 cards return in their place.

• Approximately 1.8 billion Christmas cards are sent annually in the United States.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

Christmas (continued)• Pudding is important in the Christmas

traditions of Great Britain. While making the pudding, the British have a traditional practice of making a wish while mixing the ingredients in a clockwise direction.

• In Italy, a dinner of several kinds of seafood, sometimes called the “Feast of the Seven Fishes,” is popular for the Christmas Eve meal.

• A Christmas tradition in Estonia takes place on Christmas Eve, when the whole family goes to the sauna together.

• He is known throughout the world by various names: Santa Claus, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas, Sinterklaas, St. Nick and Pere Noel. On Christmas Eve, children all over the world lie in their beds while “visions of sugarplums dance in their heads.” When they awake, they will excitedly check to see if Santa Claus visited and left them gifts.

• On the west coast of Africa, in Liberia, most homes have an oil palm for a Christmas tree, which is decorated with bells. On Christmas morning, presents such as cotton cloth, soap, sweets, pencils and books are exchanged. Also on Christmas morning, a church service is held in which the Christmas scene is enacted and hymns and carols are sung.

• In Caracas, the capital city of Venezuela, it is customary for the streets to be blocked off around Christmas so that people can roller-skate to church.

• In Bangladesh at Christmas time, Christian men in each village plant full-sized banana trees along the paths to churches. They plant them in two rows, and then bend them over to form an arch. They make oil lanterns out of bamboo poles and tie them on the arches, lighting the way to church.



Christmas (continued)• In Ethiopia, Christmas is called Ganna and is

observed on January 7. People gather in both ancient churches carved from solid volcanic rock and more modern churches that contain three concentric circles. Exchanging presents is a small part of their Christmas celebration. Children usually only receive necessary items like clothing.

• In the Netherlands, the Dutch eagerly await December 6, for it is on this day that they celebrate St. Nicholas Day, the coming of Sinterklaas. Sinterklaas sails from Spain every winter, and Dutch children fill their shoes with hay and sugar for his horse on St. Nicholas eve and awake to find them filled with gifts such as nuts and candy. On St. Nicholas Day, they celebrate with family get-togethers and feasting, after which everyone settles down to prepare for Christmas Day on December 25.

• Christians of most denominations in Hong Kong celebrate Christmas with hundreds of church services spoken in Chinese. There are also services held in English for the Europeans who live there. They also send exquisitely decorated Christmas cards, and these cards often show the Holy Family in a Chinese setting. Santa Claus is known as Sing Daan Lou Yan (Christmas Old Man) in Cantonese or Sheng Dan Lo Ren in Mandarin.

• There is a sweet Christmas tradition in Scandinavia. A little gnome called Julenisse puts the presents under the Christmas tree at night. The children leave a bowl of porridge out for him.

• It is from Scandinavia that most of our Yule log traditions derive. The dark cold winters inspired the development of traditions concerned with warmth and light. Yuletide, meaning “the turning of the sun” or the winter solstice, has traditionally been a time of extreme importance in Scandinavia.

One way to have a “green” Christmas this year is to buy strings of LED lights, which look about the same as conventional incandescent bulbs, but tend to last much longer and use 80 to 90 percent less energy. LED lights are also safer since they barely warm up.

Why is Santa said to come down a chimney? Though the idea can be traced back before the famous 1822 poem, “The Night Before Christmas,” written by Clement Moore, most agree that this story popularized the notion of Santa using chimneys to gain entrance into homes. In it, Moore describes, “And then in a twinkling I heard on the roof, the prancing and pawing of each little hoof. As I drew in my head and was turning around, down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.”

MONTH(US) birthstone: Turquoise

As a little girl climbed onto Santa Claus’s lap, Santa asked her the usual question, “And what would you like for Christmas, young lady?” The child stared at him open-mouthed and horrified for a minute, then gasped: “Santa? Didn’t you get my E-mail?”

Although many believe the Friday after Thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year, it is not. It is the fifth to tenth busiest day. The Friday and Saturday before Christmas are the two busiest shopping days of the year.

December 16 - December 22, 2010 Tidbits of Glenrock, Douglas & Wheatland December 16 - December 22, 2010

By Samantha Weaver

• It was prolific British author G.K. Chesterton who gave the following sage bit of advice: "Don't ever take a fence down until you know the reason it was put up."

• When Richard Nixon first ran for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives (which he won in 1946), he funded his campaign largely with money he won playing poker while serving as a lieutenant commander in the Navy during World War II. • From 1863 until 1945, the city of Vicksburg, Miss., didn't celebrate the Fourth of July holiday. This is because during the Civil War, the Confederate city was surrendered to Union forces on that day, an event that was considered to be one of the turning points of the war. • It was once thought that when snakes went through their version of hibernation they rejuvenated themselves, and therefore that serpents lived forever. • There's talk everywhere these days about the growing problem posed by the fact that people in the U.S. are becoming more and more overweight. Interestingly, when the International Journal of Obesity was first published, in 1993, it was 509 pages long; the 2006 edition totaled 2,322 pages. Coincidence? • It was one Dr. Spencer Silver, a chemist, who invented the adhesive used today in Post-it notes, but he had no luck promoting his invention. Six years later, one of his colleagues, Art Fry, came up with a use for it that stuck (so to speak). While sitting in church one day, Fry's attention wandered from the sermon to the scraps of paper he used to mark his place in the hymnal, which kept falling out. Connecting his annoying problem and his friend's invention, the Post-it was born.***Thought for the Day: "Human salvation lies in the hands of the creatively maladjusted." -- Martin Luther King Jr.(c) 2010 King Features Synd., Inc.

Track Your Spending

If you have a computer and really don't know where all your money goes, your life can be easier if you invest in personal-finance budget software. Nearly all of the finance programs have reports that you can customize and generate. Want to know how much you're spending for groceries? Or how much miscellaneous cash went to coffee in the morning? The program will tell you. Your bank statement will include the debit-card amounts, which you'll need to add in, but not the cash you spend. You'll need to enter that as well.Be cautious about the features of any software you buy. There is one brand-name software that will accumulate all of

your information in one place. The ads say it can combine your bank accounts with your credit cards and investment accounts -- by going into those accounts and extracting the information for you.

Another software will make your payments for you automatically. Beware. While it's a given that they've gone all-out to provide security for their servers, not all servers are equal. Do you really want to have every single transaction you make available to potential thieves? Equally important, do you really want to give up that much control of your money? If you come across a deal that you shouldn't pass up, knowing that you still have two more weeks to pay the utility bill, what are you going to do when the computer automatically spends your money on that utility bill? Caveat: If you plan to use an Internet-connected computer for your finances, don't download any personal-finance

software from the Internet. You don't know what's in it. Instead, pick a name brand that comes in a box at the store. And when you enter your information into the program, don't put your account number or even the real name of your bank.Best bet: Use an old computer for all your financial information -- and don't hook it up to the Internet. Test some of the free basic-software programs to see which you like best. What you want is a simple program that will categorize your spending, reconcile your accounts (including retirement or investment) and possibly allow you to print out checks.

David Uffington regrets that he cannot personally answer reader questions, but will incorporate them into his column whenever possible. Write to him in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475, or send e-mail to [email protected].

Christmas (continued)• For a long time, it was considered dangerous

to sleep alone on Christmas Eve. The extended family, master and servant alike, would sleep together on a freshly spread bed of straw.

• The Yule log was originally an entire tree, carefully chosen and brought into the house with great ceremony. The butt end would be placed into the hearth while the rest of the tree stuck out into the room. The tree would be fed into the fire and the entire process was carefully timed to last the entire Yule season.

• The Chlausjagen Festival or Feast of St. Nicholas is celebrated in Switzerland at dusk on December 6. The week before Christmas, children dress up and visit homes with gifts. Ringing church bells to call people to midnight mass has become a tradition, and each village competes with the next for the “best” bell ringing. After the service, families gather to share homemade doughnuts called ringli and hot chocolate.

• A Maltese Christmas traditionally is centered on the Christ’s crib or presepju. The child’s version of the church crib is called grolta. The crib figures are called pasturi and represent Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the shepherds, angels, villagers and animals such as cows and sheep.

• Wreaths have a long history that can be traced back to the ancient Druids. They believed that holly, an evergreen with bright red berries, had magical properties. Wreaths were first created when holly and other evergreens were arranged in a circular shape. 4th Quarter 2010

Boxing Day

Boxing Day is a holiday in the United Kingdom, Canada and many other Commonwealth nations. It is spent with family and friends at open gather-ings with lots of food, fun and fellowship. And it has nothing to do with pugilism.

• How did the name “Boxing Day” come into existence? Some think the name derives from an old English tradition: In exchange for ensuring that wealthy landowners’ Christmases ran smoothly, their servants were allowed to take the 26th off to visit their families. The employers gave each servant a box containing gifts and bonuses (and sometimes leftover food).

• In those countries that observe Boxing Day, December 26 is commonly referred to both as Boxing Day and as St. Stephen’s Day.

• If Boxing Day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, then the next weekday is declared a bank or public holiday. In the United Kingdom and some other countries, this is accomplished by Royal Proclamation.

• In some Canadian provinces, Boxing Day is a statutory holiday that is always celebrated on December 26.

• In Canadian provinces where Boxing Day is a statutory holiday, and it falls on a Saturday or Sunday, compensation days are given in the following week. If Boxing Day falls on a Sunday, Christmas Day would be on a Saturday, so in countries where these are both bank or public holidays, the statutory holiday for Christmas is moved to Monday, December 27, and the statutory holiday for Boxing Day is moved to Tuesday, December 28.

Boxing Day (continued)• Canadian shops open their doors as early as 6
