 At
The Top -
It's that time again, folks...The last two weeks of the year! And with
those heart warmed and Winter cold days come the last two Holidays of the
annum: Christmas, and the official "Oops, I Broke My New Year's Resolution
Day!" Since this Monkie tends not to make resolutions, then the solution
is simple - It's time we had Happy Holidays all the way around!
And along those lines, this will be the last week of regular
posts at the Monkie Hut. We will be taking some time off during the Holidays
some much needed rest and catch up on various to-do's. So though we will
be absent most of the remainder of the year, we will still pop in now and
again with a word or three. All of that said, let's begin this Christmas
week with a world full of glee, and fire things up with the latest Community
News from Live Pencil!

Christmas - When Christmas was first established,
it was to be a prayerful observance. Old English; Cristes maesse or Mass
of Christ. A fourth century theologian wrote: "We hold this day holy,
not like the pagans because of the birth of the sun, but because of him who
made it." In Spanish it's La Natividad, in French itÃÂâÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂs Noel.

The Wall Of Christmas - In the old days,
it was not called the Holiday Season; the Christians called it 'Christmas'
and went to church; the Jews called it 'Hanukkah' and went to synagogue; the
atheists went to parties and drank. People passing each other on the street
would say 'Merry Christmas!' or 'Happy Hanukkah!' or (to the atheists) 'Look
out for the wall!'

his wife about the weather. His wife thought it was going to be a nice day,

Look Again
A Texas rancher was driving through Mexico and stopped at the edge of
the road to admire the scenery and a white beautiful horse caught his eye.
The horse looked healthy well kept and was in a separate corral. Just for
tries the Texan asked one of the workers if the horse was for sale. The worker
trying to communicate said, "No, no, he no look to good."
The
Texan was not satisfied with the answered because he saw that the animal
looked great and insisted on buying it. After a few arguments the worker
arranged for the sale and the Texan took the horse back to his ranch.
He
rode the horse through his ranch and galloped to the barn when suddenly
the horse ran right into the barn wall. Frustrated the Texan takes the
horse back to Mexico and talks to the worker that sold him the horse and
explains what happened. The worker said, "I told you he no look to good."
