As of 9:06a.m. EST Christmas 2005 is coming in just 14 days, 14 hours, 55 Minutes and 34 Seconds!!!!!!

This one is especially for Fizzy, our resident Christmas loving "hobbit"!!!

Joy to the world! The Lord is come:

Let earth receive her King.

Let ev'ry heart prepare Him room,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and nature sing,

And heaven and heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns

Let Saints their songs employ

While fields and floods

rocks, hills and plains

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat the sounding joy

Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy

He rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations prove

The glories of His righteousness

And wonders of His love,

And wonders of His love,

And wonders, wonders of His love.

No more will sin and sorrow grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

He'll come and make the blessings flow

Far as the curse was found,

Far as the curse was found,

Far as, far as the curse was found.

Santa is coming...Santa is coming!!!!!

SCROOGE'S GUIDE TO CHRISTMAS

- Work out how much you need to spend over the Christmas period and spread your money from October to the New Year. January is an added bonus because if you buy on credit cards during December - and pay them off in full in January - you can spread interest-free repayments.

- Manipulate supermarketsaving schemes. Lots of them say: "Save with us all year and we'll give you a bonus for Christmas", often up to five per cent. The loophole is they usually don't award the bonus until a set day, often in November. Move your money into the saving scheme the day before they add the bonus and use the extra cash for festive purchases.

- A Royal Bank of Scotland credit card is very handy for Christmas shopping. Pay £1 for athree-month trial of their price promise scheme. It allows you to effectively buy Christmas presents at January sale prices. If you find the same goods in another shop within 60 days at a reduced price, they will refund the difference. Set it up in November or December for £1 and cancel it after three months - the service normally costs £20 for a year.

- If you really have to borrow money, get a Halifax or Sainsbury's credit card, with zero per cent interest for a year (or 10 months for Sainsbury's.

- Shop around on the internet to source presents. There is more perfume and after shave sold on Christmas Eve than the entire month of August. Online retailers like fragrancedirect.com sell perfumes at half the price. For other presents, use comparison websites like pricerunner.co.uk or kelkoo.co.uk to find the best deals

How it all began

http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/hol...tmas/trees.html

Most houses in England, will have a tree of some sort or other which they will decorate and will place the presents under. The traditional tree is a fir tree but now-a-days more people buy artificial trees to 'save the earth'. The decorating of the tree is usually a family occasion, with everyone helping.

The Christmas tree became popular in England in 1841 when Queen Victoria's husband, Prince Albert, brought a Christmas tree over from Germany and put it in Windsor Castle. The Royal couple were illustrated in a newspaper standing around the Christmas tree with their children, and the tradition of decorating a tree became fashionable.

The Christmas trees, during the Victorian times, were decorated with candles to remind children of the stars in the sky at the time of the birth of Jesus. Using candles was, of course, a great fire hazard.

Christmas trees were also decorated with candies and cakes hung with ribbon. In 1880 Woolworths first sold manufactured Christmas tree ornaments which proved to be very popular.

Today, Christmas trees are decorated with tinsel, lights and small ornaments which hang from the branches. Chocolate coins or chocolate shapes are also hung on the Christmas tree and the presents are put under the tree. An angel or star is usually put on the very top of the tree.

The most Famous Christmas Tree in Britain.

In London, near the statue of Lord Nelson in Trafalgar Square, a giant Christmas tree is set up and decorated with great ceremony each year. The tree is a thank you gift from the people of Oslo, Norway. During the Second World War, King Haakon of Norway was forced into exile in England when the Germans occupied his country. Since 1947, Norway has expressed its thanks for the help of the British people by continuing to send a huge Norwegian spruce to be shared by all.
