With Musicians, Santa, And Some Great Food! Even Belle and the Band Got Their Picture Taken With Santa! Mr. Claus Might Even Be a New Member in the Band! Cheryl Showed Off Allegro s Christmas Tree to the Capital Chordsmen Who Came To Sing for Us! Officially debuted in 1950, here are some facts about Peanuts! Did you know that CBS initially hated the idea for the Charlie Brown Christmas special and almost didn t air it? Even Charles Schulz s high school yearbook rejected the original drawings for Snoopy, and now he has a 5 ft tall statue on campus. Another neat fact is that during the Christmas special, there is a scene that is the only time the character Linus ever drops his security blanket. It happens when he tells Charlie what Christmas is all about after reading Luke Chapter 2 verses 8-12 from the Bible.

The Bells of Allegro Performed Out Front at Walmart for the Salvation Army Kettle, Where We Raised Money for Charity! FUNNIES Laugh Lines Lessons we can learn from a snowman: Wearing white is always in style even after Labor Day. Getting outside in the winter can be good for your health. It s fun to just hang around outside. We re all made up mostly of water. Accessories don t have to be expensive. Don t get too much sun. Sometimes sweating too much can have disastrous results.

6 6 REMEMBER Memorable Melody: Auld Lang Syne Millions around the globe ring in the New Year by singing this Scottish folk song. The title translates to Old Long Since, and the lyrics refer to remembering friends and days gone by. The ballad was passed down orally until poet Robert Burns wrote down the words and added new verses in the 1780s. Popular bandleader Guy Lombardo started the song s holiday tradition in 1929, when he played it at the stroke of midnight during a New Year s Eve broadcast from New York City.

Larry Is Trying to Put in a Good Word for Himself With Santa New Year, New Challenge When it comes to a better brain boost, it s best to get out of your comfort zone, say doctors. That may mean learning to speak a new language or play a musical instrument, or taking on another activity that s new to you. Doing something challenging that requires being mentally and socially engaged and uses a high level of cognitive processes helps maintain the connections between brain cells. Researchers say pursuits that require continuous challenges showed the biggest benefits. Predictions Nostradamus was a famous seer who predicted events in the 16th century, some of which have happened recently! Spooky! "Near the gates and within two cities There will be scourges the like of which was never seen, Famine within plague, people put out by steel, Crying to the great immortal God for relief." -The Atomic Bomb, perhaps? Earthshaking fire from the center of the Earth Will cause tremors around the New City. Two great rocks will war for a long time, Then Arethusa will redden a new river. - Attack on the world Trade Center Coincidence? Maybe.
