may be connected with a similar ancient Roman

practice on New Year’s ’Day. However, most theologians trace the custom to gifts brought to the Infant Jesus by the Wise Men. Dutch children fill wooden shoes with food and water for St. Nicholas and his horses. On Christmas morning, good children find that Nicholas has filled the shoes with small toys and candy. Bad children find them stuffed with sticks, however. Italian children look to the Magi themselves for gift bringing. On January 6th, the Three Kings, or a helpful “witch,” Befana, will leave treats for those who are good and tricks for the bad.

New class of consumer refugees -- dental patients

If your dental bills have been getting you down, don’t lose heart, just go to Mexico. The rising cost of dental care in the U.S. is creating a class of "dental refugees" who go south of the border for their dental work because it’s cheaper there. Thousands of people from Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas reportedly make up the majority of across-the-border

Jews most liberal on social issues

Jews are the most socially liberal group in the U.S., according to surveys by the National Opinion Research Center. On a scale of zero to 10, with 10 indicating the most liberal attitudes and zero the least liberal. Jews scored 6.1 when asked their views on five social issues:

'Shampoo Shrinks' helping to wash out hair-splitting anxieties A new study has found that Americans, primarily women, are avoiding millions of dollars in psychiatric bills by pouring out their problems to their hairdressers. The University of Rochester survey concludes that along with the cutting and curling of hair, beauticians spend at least one third of their time listening to their customers’ most intimate problems and sometimes giving advice. The study found that, as with bartenders and taxi drivers, “shampoo shrinks" are cheaper and easier to see than professional analysts. The survey also discovered that hair dressers feel the time they spend on a customer's personal problems is a very important part of their workday.

How the Best-Loved Carol Was Given to the World

One of the most revered Christmas carols in the whole world emerged from the small village of Obendorf in the Austrian Alps. On Christmas Eve, 1818. Father Joseph Mohr listened to Franz Gruber, the church organist, attempt to repair his prized instrument — broken beyond repair. It seemed there would be no music for the traditional midnight mass on Christmas Eve. Later, a sad Father Mohr made his pastoral rounds through the village in the night's bitter cold. Suddenly, his mind flooded with thoughts of another starlit night in Bethlehem. Unconsciously. he began to repeat, “Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright!” Hurrying home, he seized a piece of paper. Several verses flowed from his pen. When he finished, he told Gruber. “Write some music for my new poem, Franz. Simple music you can play on the guitar. Organ or no organ, we're going to have Christinas Eve music!” That evening, the two men, accompanied only by a guitar, sang the loveliest of carols. “Silent Night.” Soon the song left the remote Alpine Valley. Karl Mauracher, who eventually repaired the church organ, requested a copy of the song. He gave the carol to a group of child singers. Amalie, Andreas, Caroline, and Joseph Strasser. “Silent Night” was among the so.ngs these children sang to attract customers at the great Leipzig fair.

While visiting the (air, Saxony's famous directorgeneral of music, Herr Pohlenz, hy\ird the children and incited them to sing the lovely song before the King and Queen on Christmas Eve. 1832. The acceptance of the carol, given to the world through the voices of four small children, was immediate and widespread. For all. the beauty of "Silent Night" remains part of the magic and tradition of Christmas.
