CANDLELIT HEART--A HOLIDAY POEM
by Mary E. Linton
Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.
You will be singing, just the same as I,
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.
I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the here and now.
And all the time that we must be apart
I keep a candle in my heart.

2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
PATIENTS CAN'T KEEP WEIGHT OFF? MAYBE THEIR HORMONES ARE TO BLAME
In this study people who weighed an average of 209 pounds achieved an
average weight loss of 14 percent, or 29 pounds over a 10 week period
on a very low calorie regimen of 500 to 550 calories a day. They were
then placed on a maintenance diet. A year after the subjects had lost
the weight subjects had gained back an average of half of what they
had lost despite the maintenance diet. A year later hormones levels,
such as leptin and ghrelin, had changed in a way that made the subjects'
appetites stronger and caused them to burn fewer calories than at the
start of the study. Researchers concluded: "One year after initial
weight reduction, levels of the circulating mediators of appetite that
encourage weight regain after diet-induced weight loss do not revert
to the levels recorded before weight loss."

4. THE BIG WHEEL-AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY TO REKINDLE YOUR HOLIDAY SPIRIT
Author Unknown
In September 1960, I woke up one morning with six hungry babies and
just 75 cents in my pocket. The children's' father was gone.
The boys ranged from three months to seven years; their sister was two.
Their Dad had never been much more than someone they feared. Whenever
they heard his tires crunch on the gravel driveway they would scramble
to hide under their beds. He did however support us with $15 a week
to buy groceries.
Now that he had left us, there would be no more beatings, but no food
either. If there was a welfare system in effect in southern Indiana
at that time, I certainly knew nothing about it.
I scrubbed the kids until they looked brand new and then put on my best
homemade dress. I loaded them into the rusty old 51 Chevy and drove
off to find a job.
The seven of us went to every factory, store and restaurant in our small
town. No luck. The kids stayed, crammed in the car and tried to be quiet
while I tried to convince whomever would listen that I was willing to
learn or do anything. I had to have a job. Still no luck. The last place
we went to, just a few miles out of town was an old Root Beer Barrel
drive-in that had been converted to a truck stop. It was called The
Big Wheel. An old lady named Granny owned the place and she peeked out
of the window from time to time at all those kids. She needed someone
on the graveyard shift, 11 at night until seven in the morning. She
paid 65 cents an hour and I could start that night. I raced home and
called the teenager down the street that baby-sat for people. I bargained
with her to come and sleep on my sofa for a dollar a night. She could
arrive with her pajamas on and the kids would already be asleep. This
seemed like a good arrangement to her, so we made a deal.
That night when the little ones and I knelt to say our prayers we all
thanked God for finding Mommy a job.
And so I started at The Big Wheel. When I got home in the mornings I
woke the baby-sitter up and sent her home with one dollar of my tip
money -- fully half of what I averaged every night.
As the weeks went by, heating bills added another strain to my meager
wage. The tires on the old Chevy had the consistency of penny balloons
and began to leak. I had to fill them with air on the way to work and
then again every morning before I could go home.
One bleak fall morning, I dragged myself to the car to go home and found
four tires in the back seat. New tires! There was no note, no nothing,
just those beautiful brand new tires. I wondered: Had angels taken up
residence in Indiana? I made a deal with the owner of the local service
station. In exchange for his mounting the new tires, I would clean up
his office. I remember it took me a lot longer to scrub his floor than
it did for him to do the tires.
I was now working six nights instead of five and it still wasn't enough.
Christmas was coming and I knew there would be no money for toys for
the kids. I found a can of red paint and started repairing and painting
some old toys. Then I hid them in the basement so there would be something
for Santa to deliver on Christmas morning. Clothes were a worry too.
I was sewing patches on top of patches on the boy's pants and soon they
would be too far gone to repair.
On Christmas Eve the usual customers were drinking coffee in The Big
Wheel. These were the truckers, Les, Frank, and Jim, and a state trooper
named Joe. A few musicians were hanging around after a gig at the Legion
and were dropping nickels in the pinball machine. The regulars all just
sat around and talked through the wee hours of the morning and then
left to get home before the sun came up.
When it was time for me to go home at seven o'clock on Christmas morning
I hurried to the car. I was hoping the kids wouldn't wake up before
I managed to get home and get the presents from the basement and place
them under the tree. (We had cut down a small cedar tree by the side
of the road down by the dump.) It was still dark and I couldn't see
much, but there appeared to be some dark shadows in the car -- or was
that just a trick of the night? Something certainly looked different,
but it was hard to tell what. When I reached the car I peered warily
into one of the side windows.
Then my jaw dropped in amazement. My old battered Chevy was filled full
to the top with boxes of all shapes and sizes. I quickly opened the
driver's side door, scrambled inside and knelt in the front facing the
back seat. Reaching back, I pulled off the lid of the top box. Inside
was a whole case of little blue jeans, sizes 2-10! I looked inside another
box: It was full of shirts to go with the jeans. Then I peeked inside
some of the other boxes which contained candies and nuts and bananas
and bags of groceries. There was an enormous ham for baking, and canned
vegetables and potatoes. There was pudding, and cookies, pie filling
and flour. There was a whole bag of laundry supplies and cleaning items.
And there were five toy trucks and one beautiful little doll. As I drove
back through the empty streets with the sun slowly rising on the most
amazing Christmas Day of my life, I was sobbing with gratitude. And
I will never forget the joy on the faces of my little ones that precious
morning.
Yes, there were angels in Indiana that long-ago December. And they all
hung out at The Big Wheel truck stop.

6. HOLIDAY HUMOR BREAK
According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male
and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer
drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November
to mid December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they
give birth in the spring. Therefore, according to every historical rendition
depicting Santa's reindeer, every single one of them, from Rudolph to
Blitzen - had to be a female. We should've known. Only women would be
able to drag a fat man in a red velvet suit all around the world in
one night and not get lost.
