GOD IS
WATCHING!
In the cafeteria of a Catholic
school, the children were lined
up for lunch. At the head of the
line was a large pile of apples.
The nun made a note and she
had placed it in front of the
apples. The note read: "Take
only one, God is watching."
Further down the cafeteria line
was a large pile of chocolate
chip cookies...
One of the boys had written a
note of his own. The note he
placed in front of the cookies
read: "Take all you want, God is
watching the apples.
Proverb of a dog
One day, a boy was invited to
walk with his father. The boy
was happy. He liked to go with
his father. He put on cap and
coat and saw: "Father, I am
ready."
The boy and his father went out
into the street. Suddenly they
saw a big black dog. The dog
had begun to bark. The boy was
afraid of the dog. He wanted to
run home. His father said:
"Don't be afraid, boy! Don't you
know the proverb: 'A barking
dog does not bite!' "O, yes,"
said the boy, "I know the
proverb, but does the dog know
the proverb too?"

Christmas
Puddings
25 December is Christmas Day,
the birthday of Jesus Christ. In
Britain, people celebrate this day
with a great Christmas dinner.
The main course of the meal is
usually turkey. And the traditional
dessert is Christmas pudding.
This year more than 40,000,000
people will finish their Christmas
dinner with Christmas pudding!
Christmas pudding is a rich,
boiled pudding made with flour,
suet and dried fruit. There are
several customs associated with
Christmas pudding. By tradition,
a silver coin is hidden inside the
pudding when it is made. A few
holly leaves are placed on top.
And before the pudding is cut
open and served, brandy is
poured over it and set alight. Then
it is eaten with thick, runny cream.
Although Christmas celebrates
the birth of Jesus Christ, two of
these customs remind us of His
death. The holly leaves are a
reminder of Christ's "Crown of
Thorns". And it is said that the
flames from the brandy represent
the Passion.
And the silver coin hidden in the
pudding? The person that finds it
is guaranteed to receive great
health, wealth and happiness!

Christmas believes
Christmas Eve is December
24th.
Christmas in most homes
begins on the evening of
December 24th, where excited
young children are encouraged
to go to bed early so as not to
miss out on gifts from Santa
Claus. Christmas Eve in the
United States is a combination
of a lot of traditions. Some
families open presents
Christmas Eve night, many go to
church, or have different
dinners, like ham, goose, etc.
Traditions in other parts of the
world include;
• The idea that animals
have the power of speech at
Bermuda Triangle part I
The Bermuda Triangle, also known
as the Devil's Triangle, is a region of
the northwestern Atlantic Ocean in
which a number of aircraft and
surface vessels have disappeared in
what are said to be circumstances
that fall beyond the boundaries of
human error or acts of nature. Some
of these disappearances have been
attributed to the paranormal, a
suspension of the laws of physics, or
activity by extraterrestrial beings by
popular culture.[1] Although
substantial documentation exists
showing numerous incidents to have
been inaccurately reported or
embellished by later authors, there
is no doubt that many ships and
airplanes have been lost in the area.
According to the Triangle authors,
Christopher Columbus was the first
person to document something
strange in the Triangle, reporting
that he and his crew observed
"strange dancing lights on the
horizon", flames in the sky, and at
another point he wrote in his log
about bizarre compass bearings in
the area. From his log book, dated
midnight on Christmas Eve. This
superstition exists in various
parts of Europe, and no one can
hear the beasts talk with
impunity.
• There is also a French
belief that on Christmas Eve,
while the genealogy of Christ is
being chanted at the Midnight
Mass, hidden treasures is
revealed.
• In Russia all sorts of
buried treasures are supposed
to be revealed on the evenings
between Christmas and the
Epiphany, and on the eves of
these festivals the heavens are
opened, and the waters of
springs and rivers turn into wine.
October 11, 1492 he wrote:
The land was first seen by a sailor
(Rodrigo de Triana), although the
Admiral at ten o'clock that evening
standing on the quarter-deck saw a
light, but so small a body that he
could not affirm it to be land; calling
to Pero Gutiérrez, groom of the
King's wardrobe, he told him he saw
a light, and bid him look that way,
which he did and saw it; he did the
same to Rodrigo Sánchez of
Segovia, whom the King and Queen
had sent with the squadron as
comptroller, but he was unable to
see it from his situation. The Admiral
again perceived it once or twice,
appearing like the light of a wax
candle moving up and down, which
some thought an indication of land.
But the Admiral held it for certain that
land was near... Modern scholars
checking the original log books have
surmised that the lights he saw were
the cooking fires of Taino natives in
their canoes or on the beach; the
compass problems were the result
of a false reading based on the
movement of a star.
