What do I want for Christmas? I want you. By Dan Flanagan My children each year ask me the same question. After thinking about it, I decided I'd give them my real answer: What do I want for Christmas? I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever.

Christmas in Adair County, 1930 By JIM Despite the Depression settling in deeper each day, the Christmas spirit seemed to abound in Adair County in 1930. As the 25th approached, the Girls Reserve, a group of high school students under the sponsorship of Miss Mary Lucy Lowe, gladdened many a heart by going from house to house singing Christmas carols. The Columbia Woman's Club voted to contribute twenty-five dollars "toward charity work among the poor and needy during the Christmas season." The News commented that "through their efforts the hearts of many poor little children...will be gladdened." And too, a committee of members from within this club joyously put up and decorated two trees on the courthouse lawn, one on the Burkesville Street side, the other facing Campbellsville Street. The News commented about the beauty of the trees and decorations, saying, "At night they glisten with many colored electric lights and add a festive appearance to the down-town section of Columbia." Mr. N.P. Bray bought and delivered to his wife of seven weeks a stunning gift, "a beautiful new Marmon-Roosevelt coupe." (These snazzy little darlin's, produced in Indianapolis, sported a rumble seat and V-8 engine.) The News, ever in support of all things Adair Countian, quipped that "One of the best methods of holiday decoration, is to decorate your home and yourself with the very fine goods to be bought in the home stores of Columbia."

A Christmas poem: The Greatest Gift (c)1994 by Harry Mack I wonder if, through the hustle and bustle, people know the reason very clear. They fight in the stores to get the last of the latest toys that are the rage. They speed and cut off others on the roads, acting like someone half their age. You hear about the Christmas spirit and how everyone is so nice to each other. On the surface, it may look nice and sweet, supposedly caring about your brother. But, before the year comes to an end, all is forgotten and it's back to the same thing. Put it to the other guy; get yours first and race ahead to reach out for that golden ring. If a gift is given, is it because you feel obligated or want to show your wealth? Is it out of love that you gave it or was it to maintain your status and your health? How many children know that Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, our Lord?
