WE (STILL) NEED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS!

   We start thinking about Christmas,

whether we want to or not, sometime

around Halloween. That's when the

first advance store decorations begin

showing up.

   But with all that long buildup, the

day comes and, hours later it's over.

At least it seems that way.

   Actually the Christmas celebration

seems to grow each year and, as that late

great philosopher Yogi Berra reminded

us, "It ain't over till it's over."

   Back in 1952 a small AM Radio

station in Lansford began the tradition

of broadcasting Christmas music from

Thanksgiving through "Russian Christmas"

on January 6th.

   I switched to my seldom used AM

option yesterday and, through the static,

heard the familiar strains of "Jingle Bells"

on the station's 1410 frequency.

  In Scranton the annual free performances

of "The Nutcracker Ballet" continues today

at Marywood University.

  The Christmas Displays will light up Nay

Aug Park in the Electric City through January

1st. In Columbia County Berwick's

traditional Christmas Boulevard will be

illuminated through New Year's Day too.

   And, throughout the area, homeowners

who rival "Holiday Vacation" will

undoubtedly be getting the most out of

their decorating efforts!

    There's plenty of Christmas left if you

just look for it!

     Hope you do....and that all of your

NEWS is good!
