LET THE CELEBRATIONS BEGIN!

   For those of you who thought the fun

was all over, think again. We have two big,

but unofficial, "holidays" to celebrate on

January 3rd. This is the day for the annual

Fruit cake toss. Some communities 

actually hold contests to see which

contestant can throw that unwanted Fruit

cake over the longest distance. It's a perfect

day fort those who don't appreciate that

gift that often accompanies the Christmas

holidays. Since my wife and I have

already consumed her holiday Fruit cake

we couldn't participate in the celebration

even if we wanted to. The other "holiday."

however, is a different story. It was created

with the realization that we have all been

very busy getting prepared for, first

Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then New

Year's eve and day. That's why January 3rd

is also "Festival of Sleep Day." It's a day

to get some rest. Take a cat nap or even

sleep in. I like the idea of this "holiday"

and plan to be observing it all day long!

Hope you're celebrating something and

that all your NEWS is good!
