Ravings By Mike Hickey
MERRY CHRISTMAS
very little value for the advertiser and they would quickly
disappear.
A number of years ago we were visited by a business consultant
(trying to sell us something) who had a pretty close look at
FROM THE STAFF OF what we do. One observation that he made was that we were "A
trusted source of information" and by golly when I thought
KENNEBECASIS VALLEY HEARING CENTRE: about it he was right on. While smart readers might be a bit
suspicious about reading "Ravings" and only the very naive
would trust that "Musings" thing, the entire balance of each
and every community magazine can be read with complete
faith that the news is entirely accurate (barring occasional
error) and without any hidden agenda to try and influence you.
A recent survey of our staff revealed that every respondent was
proud or very proud to say they worked for Ossekeag
Publishing. I assume that this is because they recognize the
importance of the news that we deliver to our communities and
Donna Clack, Rhonda Finlay, and Lisa Reed the amount of positive feedback that we receive from our
readers and advertisers. A recent survey of Debbie and myself,
revealed we were also proud or very proud of the staff that we
get to work with. A great big thank you to you!!!
On behalf of all of us here at Ossekeag, we want to wish
everyone a very, very, Merry Christmas and Season's Greetings.
Mikie now has to get working on his shopping list!! Does
anyone know where I can find 52 large garbage bags full of
doggie treats?? That will take care of the missus!! And for the
Jet ... he just wants peace on earth and a blazing fire in the
wood stove, but he has offered, out of kindness, to help the
missus with her doggie treats if she needs any professional
assistance.
As usual we will be closing at noon on Christmas Eve and
return on January 3rd in the New Year. While shutting down for
281 Hampton Rd., Quispamsis that long doesn't help the old bottom line, it is a nice break for
www.kvhearingcenter.com the staff and ourselves after a pretty hectic and busy period
leading up to Christmas.

who are no longer with us and cherish those who are." 800

ORIGINS OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE
One of the most common symbols of Christmas - at least in
the United States and Canada - is the twinkling Christmas
tree, which is often depicted with piles of shiny gifts under its
bottom branches. The origin of the beloved holiday evergreen
has been debated for centuries, with some historians
asserting that it has Christian roots and others contending
that its roots are pagan. However, many explanations trace
the custom of having a decorated evergreen tree inside the
home to 16th century Germany, while others go back 300
years earlier to a tradition that began with the Miracle Plays
sponsored by local churches.
While its specific origin is unclear, we do know that the
Christmas tree tradition spread first across Europe and then
throughout the world. In the US, Christmas trees were first
seen in communities with prominent German populations in
the late 18th and early 19th century.
Throughout the world, Christmas trees are a symbol of the
continuation of life through the dark, cold months of winter
Jean Northrup Photographer
and are linked both to the winter solstice and the belief that
May the Spirit of Christmas the birth of Jesus brought light into the world. In many parts
of the world, Christmas trees have long been set up and taken
down according to the calendar. Traditionally, they were

Email: bev.harrison@gnb.ca origins of the red-and-green Christmas theme have long been
debated, but the explanation that appears to be most deeply
rooted in fact begins in 14th century Europe, when Adam and
Eve's Day was celebrated each year on December 24th. At that
time, churches presented dramatic performances - called
Miracle Plays - that were intended to teach religious topics to
a largely illiterate population. For Adam and Eve's Day, people
gathered to watch the "Paradise Play," which presented the
story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Since no apple
trees were available in the middle of winter to represent the
Tree of Good and Evil on stage, a pine tree with apples tied to
its branches was used instead.
The use of a "makeshift" apple tree worked so well that many
churches adopted its use. The "Paradise Tree" eventually
became so popular in Germany that people started to erect
evergreen trees in their homes and decorate them with red
apples. Over time, the green of the trees and the red of the
apples became widely associated with the celebration of
Christmas. CH10

sacred to Celtic Druids, mistletoe was believed to bestow life
and fertility, while also protecting against poison and serving
as an aphrodisiac. Mistletoe would later take on a more
political meaning, as the ritual of cutting the mistletoe came
to symbolize the emasculation of the old king by his
successor.
Nowadays, mistletoe is typically hung in doorways or
entryways from one room to another. This tradition can also

winter break - a typically two-week
hiatus from school that begins shortly
before Christmas and ends with kids'
return to school shortly after New
Year's Day. Parents facing the dilemma
of finding something for kids to do
during winter break should consider
the following tips.
-Take a vacation: Vacation is the easy
way out. Winter break might mark the
only time until summer that parents
can spend quality time with their kids
completely away from the distractions
of everyday life. Vacation can mean a
trip to warmer climates or simply
packing up the car to go spend time
with the grandparents. If there's any
vacation time to spare, consider
hitting the road.
-Teach kids some practical lessons:
Kids likely won't miss the classroom
during winter break, but that doesn't
mean there aren't enjoyable ways for
kids to learn while they're away from
school. Teach kids practical lessons,
like how to cook a favorite meal or how
to fix things around the house. This MOTORCYCLES SNOWBLOWERS GENERATORS
