        PLENTY TO CELEBRATE!

   Christmas is still six days away but

we might just as well begin the celebrations

today. It's a very big day. It was on

December 19th, 1843 that Charles

Dicken's "A Christmas Carol" was

first published. It's also "Look For An

Evergreen Day." The day you are suppose

to pick out your Christmas tree (if you

haven't done so already.) December 19th

is "National Hard Candy Day!" Hard

candy has been around since the 17th

century! But here's the real big one in

my book! December 19th is our son

D.J.'s Birthday! He hasn't been around

as long as hard candy or Christmas trees

but his day is the one we'll be celebrating

most of all. Happy Birthday D.J.! Hope

you get some hard candy, enjoy your

Birthday, and that all your NEWS is

good!
