THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
We are looking forward to the birthday of Jesus.  In just a couple of days we celebrate Christmas with our family and friends.  It is important to keep in mind that it is a celebration that God our Father made possible by sending His son to be with us.  If we continue to keep “Christ” in Christmas we will be able to celebrate with peace and joy.

JOKE
It was Christmas and the judge was in a merry mood as he asked the prisoner, “What are you charged with?”
“Doing my Christmas shopping early”, replied the defendant.
“That”s no offense”, said the judge.
“How early were you doing this shopping?”
“Before the store opened.”
