Making good Mondays is like making coffee -


The week is before us - like the coffee pot - waiting to brew. Making it good is a matter of choice, luck, creativity, patience and acceptance of the outcome.

Monday, Christmas Eve

"Ho, ho, ho!"

"O, Christmas Tree, O, Christmas Tree"

"Oh little town of Bethlehem"

"Oh, Holy Night"

"Over the river and through the woods, to Grandmother's house we go"

"Oh, my gosh, I forgot to buy a gift for ______!"


Christmas Eve on the Internet:

It's Santa Claus, tracked by Norad. Check out this nifty website that is perfectly in tune with our commercialized, high tech times. At the other end of the spectrum, "Jesus' Birthplace to Host Major Christmas Eve Festival" covers what will be happening in the Holy Land. A Discovery Channel headline reading, "Bright Moon, Mars Light Christmas Sky," encourages a bit of stargazing as you watch for Santa. It will be unusually beautiful, with "a full moon and a full Mars" this Christmas.

For a full tummy - If you live in New York City and want to dine out tonight, here are the "hottest deals." In Boston, here are the best places to go. Despite Congress having left town, Washington, D.C. seems alive and well stocked with great placed to dine out. If you are lucky enough to be in Hawaii right now, Waikiki will feed you royally. An interesting and obscure little website - ekNazar.com - lists holiday events for members of the (East) Indian community who live in the San Francisco Bay area. The site also features "10,000 baby names."

On that happy note, Merry Christmas!" to all who love Christmas Eve almost as much as Christmas Day.
