Good Morning Troops, Veterans and Canteeners.
Come join us and share your Christmas/ Holiday traditions with us.
Christmas Traditions at my house.
Advent
At our house we start the Christmas celebrations with Advent.
We have a wreath made out of pine cones with four candles on it.Each Sunday we light one Candle and read the Story of Christs birth and listen to Christmas songs.
During the time of Advent,we also start baking our Christmas Cookies and making Christmas decorations.
Our kids receive an Advent Calender on the First of December to count down the days to Christmas.
St.Nick or Nickolaus
On December sixth we celebrate St.Nick,who brings small gifts ,that he puts into the children's boots,that have been left in front of their doors,if they were good.;)
To keep some of the traditions from Germany in the family, we also exchange gifts on December 24 th and we put some gifts under the tree for December 25 th,to include the traditions of an American Christmas.
We have integrated both traditions into our very own tradition and hope that our kids will carry on this tradition, when they have their own families.
It would be great if you all could share your Traditions with all of us,whether they are Christmas,Hanuka or other Holiday traditions.
I wish you all Happy Holidays and a Merry Christmas.

He's probably so enthralled by so many choices he can't figure out where he's suppose to be. Takes a little training to focus. Has Robert signed on yet?

Office Holiday Memo
To All Employees
From Management
Subject Office conduct during the Christmas season
Effective immediately, employees should keep in mind the following guidelines in compliance with FROLIC (the Federal Revelry Office and Leisure Industry Council).
1. Running aluminum foil through the paper shredder to make tinsel is discouraged.
2. Playing Jingle Bells on the push-button phone is forbidden (it runs up an incredible long distance bill)
3. Work requests are not to be filed under "Bah humbug."
4. Company cars are not to be used to go over the river and through the woods to Grandma's house.
5. All fruitcake is to be eaten BEFORE July 25.
6. Egg nog will NOT be dispensed in vending machines.
In spite of all this, the staff is encouraged to have a Happy Holiday.

No, but I spoke with him by phone this morning. He's kinda stuck on setting up his account on FR. He originally used a screen name that I strongly suggested should be changed as people who don't know him would get the wrong idea on what he's about. He's tried to change it, but is having a problem getting FR to accept any changes. I suggested he set up an email account with a different website (MSN Hotmail), and then creating a new account with his new email address. I'll have to wait to see how that goes for him. Unless someone here has any suggestions for how to make a change in an easier way.

Hey everyone. Please allow me to introduce you to my son, Robert, who you all have been hearing about through me these past months. His screen name is a bit unusual, but then he tends to be a non-conformist in his civilian persona. He's a staunch conservative who loves his country and his fellow Americans. He is strong in his faith in our Lord, and has greatly appreciated all of your prayers and well wishes. So, everybody, give a great big warm WECOME to my son.
