*VIRUS ALERT: ADVENT VIRUS*

Be on the alert for symptoms of inner HOPE, PEACE, JOY, AND LOVE. The hearts of a great many have already been exposed to this virus and it is possible that people everywhere could come down with it in epidemic proportions. This could pose a serious threat to what has, up to now, been a fairly stable condition of conflict in the world.

Some signs and symptoms of THE ADVENT VIRUS:

~ A tendency to think and act spontaneously rather than on fears based on past experiences.

~ An unmistakable ability to enjoy the moment.

THE SEASON OF FAMILY FRUITCAKES

By Saralee Perel

This season, certain relatives we haven't seen since last Christmas (because we kept making excuses) gather together. During festive meals, we sharply elbow loved ones sitting next to us. This is to discourage them from snapping back at innuendos that loved ones sitting further away are spewing.

Sibling rivalry is a brief adolescent phase that ends at age 92. It stems from the fact that most kids have distinctively different ideas as to what their parents are really like. And we each know our perspective is the RIGHT one.

"Jesus isn't just the reason for the season. He's the reason for every day of our life."
