ust when I thought that there would never be any hope of hearing something good about the state of Alabama, they go and win themselves a National Championship in College football. While they do not have a pro team of their own...yet, they have produced such players as Hershel Walker, Lionel James, James Brooks, and Bo Jackson. There is something else they produced that affects almost every man woman and child on almost the entire planet..., Christmas. Alabama is the first state to celebrate Christ's Birthday on December 25th. I found out from my letter from Santa. IF anyone would know, it is the little guy with the big belly.

When Jesus was born, a new star rose in the east, heralding to the kingdoms of the world the birth of the King of Kings. Upon seeing this glorious sight, three wise kings gathered their entourages and headed towards the star bearing gifts to lay before him, each man from a different kingdom but sharing the same vision. They met on the road somewhere along the way and when they learned they were on the same glorious quest, they decided to travel together. Can you imagine the excitement these three wise men must have felt? It took them twelve days before they reached the baby Jesus, hence, the twelve days of Christmas.

Franklin Pierce was the fourteenth President of the United States and the first President to erect and decorate a White House. Of course, I doubt that he decorated the huge tree himself. There is, no doubt, an entire team of White House Decorators standing around with their hands in their pockets, waiting for the next holiday. Now there is an excellent example of our tax dollars hard at work.
What incident took place in 1854 that made firefighters around the world smile? The implementation of a recent invention, the string of electric Christmas tree lights, brought the end of what was usually a very busy time for them because fewer candles burning in the Christmas trees meant far fewer fires.
