CHRISTMAS ! Christmas is simply a commodity to be sold to everyone it seems. Take away all of the trappings of what is considered Christmas and people readily agree there is no Christmas. How then can there be a belief that Christmas is anything other than superficialities? Even those who openly profess Christmas is about the birth of a Savior cannot bring themselves to dispense with the relatively new traditions inherent in the "Christmas Commodity." It reminds me of people who smoke or indulge in drugs or too much drinking. Ask any of these folk if they can quit and they will assure you they can, even though the reality is most cannot. And the same principle applies to the Christmas Commodity Consumers . Without the superficial trappings, the CCC cannot fathom what they would do this time of year.

"Christmas just isn't Christmas" without all the stuff. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT France race riots show dangers of a nation apart From late October to early November of this year, riots swept through the suburbs of Paris. Hundreds of vehicles were torched, buildings were burned and French citizens accosted. At least one was killed. The riots began when two teenagers, believing they were being pursued by the police, ran to an electrical power substation and were electrocuted.

Youngster develops flute skills early By the looks of his room, Chris Peterson has much in common with other 11 year old boys. Basketball, soccer, football trophies line a windowsill, pictures of wolves grace the walls. What Chris doesn’t share with most 11 year olds is his talent for playing the Native American flute. Not only can he play a song once he hears it, he is self-taught, creates his own music and plays intuitively, bringing joy and often healing to others.

MORE LOCAL ENTERTAINMENT Entries closed for Ashland Independent Film Festival Movies: Now playing What do we really want for Christmas? Christianity is totally unique among the world’s religions because the entrance to it has such a very small door. Those of you who have enjoyed “The Lord of the Rings” movies, think of the tall wizard, Gandalf, coming to visit his Hobbit friend Bilbo Baggins at Bag-end. The little circle of a door, nestled in the hillside. He had to crouch way down, just like God, who first crouched down in the manger, so we could all know that we could do it too.
