Wreaths. Trees.

Lights. Manger

scenes. Christmas

is clearly upon us. And each

year it seems to come earlier

and earlier. This year, a New

York City radio station was

playing 24/7 Christmas music

by the end of November.

Those who shopped in malls

were hearing the sounds of

Christmas long before the

meals were being made for

Thanksgiving.

What is Christmas? It

must mean something more

than just a consumer free-for-

all that engulfs our culture for

the last month of every year.

But how do we untangle that

which is the core of Christmas

and that which has been

appended to it (such as Santa

Claus and reindeer) as the

years have progressed?

Obviously, the best place

to turn to is the source.

4/28


Two months ago, my

youngest son Sam

needed a new phone

and our Verizon family plan

could not accommodate

another line. I really wanted

to put him on our plan, as we

have no limit on data or talk

time, as were the plans of 5 or

so years ago. Today, the major-

ity of phone plans, regardless

of carrier, charge for data or

limit you and those that dont

charge, reduce your speed

when you exceed a certain

level of data each month. Sam

is 14 which means he, by gen-

eration, is a data hog and an

unlimited data plan is essen-

tial to his psyche and my wal-

let too! What is a father to do?

Lo and behold, Sprint,introduced an unlimited data

plan that would not slow

down upon reaching a set

usage level. Immediately, we

sped to our local Sprint Kiosk,

to purchase a new Samsung

Galaxy S-5 Android phone

with unlimited data plan.The

phone cost over $600 and the

plan was $60 per month where

they would finance the phone

with no interest at just $50 per

month. Sam, remember, is 14

so an insurance plan is critical,

adding another $11 to the

monthly bill bringing the total

to just over $100 per month.

Ok, we walk away with

the best phone on the market,

unlimited data and a satisfac-

tion guarantee, not happy, get

your money back. Well not

exactly, as we found out.Service was fine except, near

Wayne Hills High School, the

phone doesnt work very well,

exactly where Sam happens to

be 5 days a week. Though he

doesnt use the phone every

day, we decided to give Sprint

the opportunity to better the

situation by explaining to

them our dilemma. After 4

weeks, we attempted to cancel

the service, trying to port-

over the phone to Verizon,

who has excellent service at

the high school. Sprint refused

to tell me anything about my

account unless I told them my

account password or my child-

hood best friend. I couldnt

answer their questions, as I

never supplied the informa-

tion to them since I was never

asked the questions when we

initially purchased the phone

and service. They refused tohelp me disconnect the

phone. I asked for managers,

supervisors and vice presidents

to speak to, explaining that I

cannot possibly answer any

questions for which I had not

previously given information.

I even visited the Sprint loca-

tion in Butler to cancel the

account and get a refund for

the phone. The clerk said I

had to return to Willow Brook

as each were third party retail-

ers; not corporate owned

stores and they were the only

ones that could help us. I was

furious to say the least as this

had consumed many hours of

energy already.

So next I went to the

Verizon store, after receiving a

special chip by overnight

mail directly from Verizon cor-porate, to place in the phone

so Verizon could communicate

with it. You see, up to this

point I was under the impres-

sion that a Samsung Galaxy S-

5 phone could use any service

provider, after all, it is the

newest phone on the market

and available from a myriad of

retailers as well. Boy was I

wrong! The Verizon store

informed me that even with

the chip installed, the phone

would not operate properly or

perhaps at all with Verizon,

because this was a Sprint

phone, unique and manufac-

tured exclusively for them and

cannot be ported over to any-

one. Now, I had to go back to

the kiosk where I found out

the salesman made-up the

answers to the security ques-

tions and password, neglecting

to tell me what they were.

Further, after speaking with

the Sprint tech people directly

from the kiosk, the phone

could not be changed to any

other service provider and Icould not get a refund as I was

over the 14 day window of

opportunity, even though the

reason for delay was to remedy

the problem. Earlier, the

Sprint home office told me I

couldnt port the phone unless

I paid the bill in full, (which

was the balance of the phone

purchase price) so I did, right

on the phone with my AMEX

card. So now, I have a paid for

Sprint phone that cant be

changed to Verizon, the

Sprint service is deactivated

and I am unable to move it to

Verizon or any other provider.

Sprint offered me $170 for the

phone I just paid $600 for and

Verizon will sell me a new one,

with a 2 year service contract

commitment for only $290.

This is my current dilemma;

Im sure there are thousands of

people in a similar predica-

ment. Sprint was dishonest

from the beginning, signing

me up with a promise of satis-

faction guaranteed, making

up the answers to securityquestions and passwords with-

out my knowledge, not dis-

closing that the phone was

unable to be ported to any-

one else, allowing me to can-

cel the service, but not the

phone and failing to refund

my money stating that I took

too long now to bring it to

their attention. They were dis-

honest not to reveal that the

Sprint dealers are independ-

ent contractors/retailers and

not actually affiliated with the

company and other Sprint

locations have nothing to do

with each other. I feel duped

and severely disappointed that

this kiosk independent retailer

will not step-up and rise to the

occasion and refund my

money for the phone enabling

me to take my business else-

where.

I am devoting my finan-cial column space today to let

my readers know that the

Sprint Satisfaction Guaran-

teed has a time limit of 14

days (this was never initially

discussed) and you should

think twice before purchasing

a phone and service from

them. May my $600 expense,

be a lesson to you and a warn-

ing to them, not to treat the

people in our community

unfairly, as a bad reputation

travels much faster than a

good one. Basically everyone

needs a cell phone today and

there are many choices in

which to secure one. Please

remember this true story when

considering which cell compa-

ny or retailer to use.

The holidays are here,

put your family first by havinga no cost nor obligation life

insurance policy review with

American Prosperity Group!

Call me today to discuss this

very important subject that

may affect everyone who

needs you. Remember that

purchasing life insurance is an

act of love for ones beneficiar-

ies so give the gift of financial

security this holiday season by

upgrading your life insurance

program before the holidays

pass us by and your age and

health may no longer be the

same.

Theres a lot of talk

about social security

these days. For many

of us, social security payments

are a big part of retirement

planning. Here are answers to

a few basic questions on social

security.

Q. When can I start drawing

benefits?

A. You can start to draw your

standard benefit when you

reach your full retirement age.

Thats at age 65 if you were

born before 1938. Full retire-

ment age increases progres-

sively to age 67 if you were

born in later years. But you

can choose to receive a

reduced benefit any time after

you reach age 62. The earlier

you start, the bigger the reduc-

tion. Or you can increase the

size of your monthly payment

by delaying drawing benefits

beyond your retirement age.

Q. Will my benefits be taxed?

A. Whether youll have to pay

income tax on the social secu-

rity benefits you receive

depends on your other

income. If your provisional

income exceeds certain

thresholds, up to 50% of your

social security benefits could

be subject to tax. This can go

up to 85% at higher income

levels. Generally, provisionalincome is your total income

from all sources, including

tax-exempt interest, plus one-

half of your social security

benefits.

Q. What happens if I keep

working while receiv ing

social security?

A. If youve reached full

retirement age, you can keep

working without reducing

your benefits. But if youre

drawing benefits in the years

before full retirement age and

still working, your benefits

could be reduced. Generally,

youll lose $1 in benefits for

every $2 you earn above a cer-

tain amount ($15,480 in

2014). Different rules apply in

the year you actually reach

your retirement age. In a few

cases, continuing to work

while youre drawing benefits

can actually increase your

later benefits.

Q. How do I decide when to

begin drawing benefits?

A. Deciding when to start

drawing benefits and when to

stop working is a very personal

decision, but its critical for

your retirement planning. We

can supply the numbers and

explain the tax issues to help

you make the right choices.

It took me awhile to figure

out that the new and

improved Joe wasnt a

winning persona. When I was

around 23, I was a hotshot

staff accountant at the Witco

Chemical Corporation. My

aura at the time was that my

poop didnt stink. Other peo-

ples might have, but not

mine.

I decided to venture out

and look for a new job. A

headhunter set up an inter-

view for me in a nearby town.

I dont remember the name of

the company, but I sure

remember the meeting.

My interviewer was a

young guy who immediately

made me feel very confident

and very comfortable. About

half way through the inter-

view, I planted my feet firmly

on his desk. We talked about

women, partying and all of

my considerable conquests.

When I left, he gave me a slap

on the back and told me he

looked forward to seeing me

soon.

I left feeling absolutely

positive that I had gotten the

job. When I arrived home,

there was already a message

on my machine. The call was

from my headhunter.

Her first message was

this, Joe, I just heard from

the company and unfortu-

nately, you did not get the

job. When I heard those

words, my heart sank. The

The Christmas Tree is a

tradition that came

from Europe and

gained great popularity in the

United States, and the tradi-tional tree was often adorned

with candles, stars, and food

such as cookies and candy to

celebrate the season. It was

believed by some that the can-

dles represented light, or the

birth of the Savior who would

be the Light of the World.

Stars represented the light in

the sky that led the travelers to

the birthplace of the infantJesus. The treats were a way of

giving thanks for having food

throughout the year, and also

served as gifts for children.

So where does the candy

cane fit in as a symbol of

Christmas? Back in the 1400s,

priests in France developed an

all-white stick of candy that

was straight and not hooked.

As legend has it, a Frenchchoirmaster in the year 1670

bent one end of the straight

stick of candy into the shape of

the shepherds staff or crook, as

it was called. This crook then

symbolized the shepherds in

and around Bethlehem who

were the first to hear the good

news. Red-and-white striped,

peppermint-flavored candy

canes began to appear atChristmas time in the United

States during the early part of

the 20th Century.

Have a Merry Christmas and a

happy and safe Holiday Season!

Deciding to get a dog

can be a life-altering

moment. While the

decision carries with it a wealth

of responsibility, a dog can

change a persons life for the

better, providing loyalty and

companionship for years to

come.

Once the decision to get a

dog has been made, prospective

pet owners must choose a

breed. Various factors play into

this decision, including how

much space the dog will have at

home, the grooming responsi-

bilities that come with a partic-

ular breed and the typical

demeanor of a given breed.

Because no two breeds or own-

ers are the same, some dog-

owner combinations may make

for a better pairing than others.

Descriptions of breed tem-

perament can provide a win-

dow into the general personali-

ty of certain dogs. But suchdescriptions are not set in

stone, as each dog is unique and

may exhibit behaviors extraor-

dinary to its breed. Factors such

as socialization and training

play key roles in how dogs will

react in situations, and the fol-

lowing are some dog breeds that

have a propensity to be easy-

going and relatively easy to

train.

Golden retriever: Golden

retrievers tend to be gregarious,

docile and a good fit for fami-

lies. They are people-oriented,

affectionate and loyal. Golden

retrievers are moderately-sized

dogs that need exercise to pre-vent boredom (which can com-

pel them to cause damage

around the home). But golden

retrievers are generally a good

fit for first-time dog owners.

Labrador retriever: A

close cousin to the golden

retriever, Labradors are another

breed known for their good

nature and willingness to be

trained. Labs shed and can

grow large, so that is something

apartment-dwellers must con-

sider before bringing home a

Lab.

Standard poodle: Poodles

are an intelligent breed that are

easily trained. Poodles can behigh strung if not given ample

exercise, so this is something

prospective poodle owners

need to consider.

Cavalier King Charles

spaniel: This is a well-propor-

tioned and smaller dog that is

typically affectionate, happy

Spider veins and varicose

veins are different in ap-

pearance but similar in

their causes. With vari-

cose veins, the valves lo-

cated within the veins are

diseased and do not fully close to prevent

blood in the vein from flowing in the wrong

direction (called refluxing). This results in

bulging veins in the legs which are often blue

or purple in appearance. These varicoseveins can cause pain, numbness and fatigue

in the legs; and in more extreme cases can

cause painful leg ulcers.

We refer to spider veins as smaller dis-

colored veins that have a spider web-like

appearance. These veins are generally not

painful, and are treated cosmetically.

As we age, the risk of developing vari-

cose veins increases. Approximately 30

50% of adults suffer from the underlying

condition, known as chronic venous insuffi-

ciency, or CVI.

Approximately 80% of patients arewomen and only 20% are men.

Contributing factors that put a person at

risk of developing varicose veins include:

Heredity

Age

Standing profession

Being overweight or obese

Hormonal issues

What Causes Varicose and Spider

Veins to Appear

Non-functioning valves within a blood

vessel cause varicose veins. Veins return

blood back to the heart, but when a valve

does not function properly, it causes bloodto flow backwards into the vein. This is

called venous insufficiency and this back-

ward flow causes vein enlargement. Spider

veins can develop for the same reason, but

are further influenced by obesity, heredity,

pregnancy and menopause.

Signs of Vein Problems

The symptoms are similar for varicose

and spider veins, but are typically more se-

vere for varicose veins. Spider veins may

cause minor burning or itching at the site.

Varicose vein symptoms include leg aches

or cramps, a feeling of leg heaviness, burn-ing, throbbing or tingling. Skin ulcers, espe-

cially in the ankle area, are not uncommon

when varicose veins are particularly severe.

As the cost of livingcontinues to rise, hol-

iday shopping also has

become much more expensive

in recent years, and it can be

easy for shoppers to overextend

themselves financially come

the holiday season.According to a recent

Gallup poll, the average

American plans to spend

around $790 per holiday sea-

son, although many go above

and beyond that amount.

Starting off the new year indebt is a recipe for stress, which

can have negative repercus-

sions for the rest of the year.

In addition to overspend-

ing during the holiday season,

many people stretch them-

selves thin on Valentines Day,

birthdays, and Mothers Day

and Fathers Day. One way to

make shopping more manage-

able is to establish spending

limits that dictate how mucheach family member can spend

on each gift he or she buys.

It is important to exercise tact

when approaching the subject

of gift limits. Discuss the topic

with friends and family mem-

bers with whom you usually

exchange gifts long before the

holiday season. Agree on a rea-

sonable amount of money eachperson will spend on gifts. If

necessary, ask everyone to write

down a figure and then deter-

mine the average, using that

figure as your spending limit.

Establishing a spending

limit makes it easier for every

family to afford their holiday

purchases. If there are six peo-

ple on your shopping list and

youre spending $50 per person,

you know to allocate $300 forgifts. Saving and budgeting can

be adjusted accordingly.

When no such limit is

established, you may go over-

board to compensate, even if

you cannot afford to do so.

Another way to save

money is to suggest giving the

gift of experiences rather than

tangible and potentially costlygifts. For example, take a loved

one out for dinner or suggest

going on vacation together to

make better use of your collec-

tive funds. A well-timed

extended family vacation in

lieu of gift exchanges may alle-

viate the stress of the holiday

season, much of which can be

traced to holiday spending.Establishing a gift-giving

strategy and budget for each

person to work with can make

for a more peaceful holiday

season by freeing up time to

spend with loved ones and

placing the focus on family

instead of shopping.

hundred years in the making,

the focus of the celebration

has very clear source material.

In the pages of scripture, we

see what the events of the first

Christmas were and why we

still celebrate that night thou-

sands of years later.

Most of us are aware of

the story of Christmas. The

baby Jesus is born in

Bethlehem to a young, newly

married Jewish couple -Joseph and Mary. But this is

no normal birth. Mary, a vir-

gin, is told by an angel that

the baby conceived in her is

from the Holy Spirit

(Matthew 1:20). This miracle

happened to fulfill the

prophecy of Isaiah 7:14, The

virgin will be with child and

will give birth to a son, and

they will call him Immanuel.

The place of His birth is no

coincidence either. The

prophets were clear that the

promised Messiah would be

born in Bethlehem (Micah

5:2). Joseph and Mary, after a

trip to Egypt to escape the

anger of Herod, make their res-

idence in Nazareth by the Sea

of Galilee - again, a fulfillment

of scripture (Isaiah 9:1-2).

So whats the big deal?Apart from the miracle of a

virgin having a son, what is so

noteworthy to commemorate

Christmas over two thousand

years later? This is where the

scriptures come alive with

verification for the joy that

has been celebrated all these

years.

There is little debate

over the humanity of Jesus.

Most would agree that at the

very least, He was the worlds

greatest teacher. We see in

Him a lucidity of thought and

morality that is present in no

other person. As we look at

Him in the Gospels

(Matthew, Mark, Luke and

John) it is difficult not to walk

away with a deep sense that

He was not just a good man,

but a perfect human.But scripture does not

leave us there. It goes on to

describe Jesus as not only a

perfect human, but also as

God. This is where we stum-

ble in our modern times, but

scripture is clear. In

Colossians 1:19, we read, For

God was pleased to have all

His fullness dwell in Jesus. In

Colossians 2:9 God tells us

that In Jesus, all the fullness

of the Deity lives in bodily

form. Jesus was not just a

fully perfect human, He was

fully perfect God. This is not

just the writings of His follow-

ers. Jesus claimed to be God

(John 10:30) and asserted the

attributes of God (Mark 2:5-

12). Interestingly, this was

foretold in the scriptures in

Isaiah 9:6. Note in this famil-iar verse that a child is born

who will be called Mighty

God and Everlasting Father.

Both these terms are used

elsewhere in Isaiah as a refer-

ence to God (Isaiah 10:20-21

and 64:8). So, in this verse we

see God predicting through

Isaiah that the Messiah would

be both God and man.

But again, we are left

with the question, So what.

If we take the scriptures at

face value we can clearly see

that Jesus was both God and

man. What is the celebration

all about? In order to under-

stand that, we must go back to

Job.

Job 9:33-35 says in refer-

ence to his relationship with

God, If only there were

someone to arbitrate betweenus, to lay his hand upon us

both, someone to remove

Gods rod from me, so that His

terror would frighten me no

more. Then I would speak up

without fear of Him, but as it

now stands with me, I can-

not. Scripture teaches that

our imperfections separate us

from a perfect God so that we

are all in Jobs dilemma - a

desire to be in relationship

with God but with no basis for

that relationship. That may

seem appalling to many but

we are comforted that God is

also appalled by our circum-

stances. In Isaiah 59:16, God

says that He saw that there

was no one, He was appalled

that there was no one to inter-

vene; so His own arm worked

salvation for Him and Hisown righteousness sustained

Him. God was not satisfied

in leaving us in a hopeless

relationship. So He took on

humanity in the person of

Jesus. On that first Christmas

day in a manger, the desire of

Job was finally realized. Jesus,

who could represent humans

(because He was fully human)

and God (because He was

fully God), was born to

become the perfect mediator.

He lived the perfect life that

we cannot live and He took

on the punishment that we

deserved (we celebrate that

on Good Friday). It is through

Jesus that we can receive

righteousness (or a right

standing) before God.

How does that happen?

The same way that Abraham

received righteousness.

Genesis 15:6 says that

Abraham believed and it was

credited to him as righteous-

ness. There is nothing we

can do that causes God to owe

us the righteousness from

Jesus. Instead, we have to trust

in Jesus - believe He is who

He said He is and that what

He did is sufficient to cover

our imperfections. We are

then able to be in relationship

with God - and not just for

today but for eternity.

Thats good news!!

Thats worth celebrating!!

Thats what Christmas is real-

ly all about!!

behaved and can get along well

with other pets.

Boston terrier: The

Boston terrier, also known as

the Boston Bull, is a compact

brute of a dog. Although small

in size, the Boston terrier does

not lack for personality and

tends to be playful and friendly

with a willingness to learn.

Bostons do require a firm

human leader; otherwise, they

may believe they run the show.

These breeds are offered

as examples of good breeds for

first-time dog owners.

However, there are plenty of

other breeds out there that

would make ideal pets, even for

the novice dog owner.Socialization, training and

exercise are essential to shap-

ing a dog into a trusted andhappy member of the family.

saucepan and set aside.

Combine the eggs and

sugar in the bowl of an electric

mixer fitted with a whisk

attachment. Set the bowl over

a pan partially filled with sim-

mering water. The water should

not touch the bowl. Using a

whisk, beat the egg-sugar mix-

ture until it feels very warm to

the touch and all of the sugar

has dissolved. Immediately

remove the bowl from the heatand transfer it to the electric

mixer.

Whip the egg-sugar mix-

ture on medium speed for 3 to 4

minutes until it triples in vol-

ume and is very thick and light

colored. Add the vanilla and

whip 2 to 3 seconds longer to

blend. Remove the bowl from

the mixer and gently fold in the

flour-cocoa mixture.

Place about 1 cups of

the batter in a separate bowl

and fold in the melted butter.

Do this gently, as you do not

want to overwork the batter.

Fold this into the remaining

batter. Divide the batter evenly

among the cupcake tins. Bake

in the center of the oven for 20

to 25 minutes, or until a tooth-

pick or knife inserted in the

center of one cupcake comes

out clean. Remove and cool

completely on a rack.

While the cupcakes are

cooling, combine the heavy

cream with the confectioners

sugar and the remaining 2tablespoons of cocoa, beat into

soft peaks, and set aside.

Remove the cupcakes

from the tin and place them on

dessert plates. Spoon the

whipped cream on top, divide

the raspberries among the

plates and serve.

Its Chanukah and in Israel

and in many places around

the world Jews are lighting

candles in their window as

night falls. Theyre adding a

little light to the world and

reminding everyone of the mir-

acles that happened to their

ancestors so long ago.

Over two thousand years

ago, the Jews of Israel were

ruled by the Greek conquerors

of Syria. Antiochus, the Greek

king, wanted all of his subjects

to live like Greeks so he made

laws forbidding Jews to practice

their religion by forbidding thestudy of the Torah or keeping

the mitzvot. The Jews revolted

and had a whole army fighting

the Greeks. After many long

years, the Jews finally threw

the Greek army out of the

country. The first thing they

did as soon as they conquered

Jerusalem was to rededicate the

Temple (Chanukah means

dedication.) When they

tried to light the menorah, all

they could find was enough oil

to last them for one day. To

make more oil would have

taken at least a week eight

days more likely. A miracle

happened and the little jar of

oil burned for eight days.

Ever since then, Jews

have celebrated the victory

over the Greeks during the

holiday of Chanukah. On the

first night we light one candle,

on the second night we light

two candles, and so on. By theeighth night we have eight

candles burning brightly,

reminding us of the eight days

that the oil burned in the

Temple and of the Jewish strug-

gle against oppression.

Pirsumei nisa or publi-

cizing the miracle is a very

important custom on

Chanukah. We light the can-

dles in a window or by a door

facing the street so that every-

one passing by will see them

and remember the miracles

that happened. The special

menorah we use on Chanukah

is called a chanukiah in

Hebrew. It has places for eight

candles and an extra place for

the shamash the candle we

use to light all the other can-

dles.

Theres an old custom of

giving children gifts of coins on

Chanukah. Sometimes the

coins are real and sometimes

they are made of chocolate

(gelt.) Since the miracle of

Chanukah happened through a

jar of oil, one way to remember

the miracle is to eat foods

cooked in oil duringChanukah. Latkes, or potato

pancakes fried to a crispy, gold-

en brown are one popular

Chanukah food. Sufganiyot

or jelly donuts are another as

they are also fried in oil.

Dreidels are a favorite

toy on Chanukah. They are

four-sided tops with Hebrew

letters painted or carved on the

sides. The letters nun, gimel,

heh, and shin stand for the

Hebrew words: Nes gadol

hayah sham (A great miracle

happened there.) One way to

play dreidel is to spin it for

money. Everyone puts a coin

or gelt in the pot, then they

spin the dreidel to see who

wins: nun means nothing

you dont have to put in anoth-

er coin and you dont get any-

thing; gimel means you get

everything in the pot; heh

means you get half of what is in

the pot; and shin means youhave to put one into the pot.

In Israel, a dreidel is called a

sevivon. The sevivon has a

peh instead of a shin on one

side, so that the letters stand

for Nes gadol hayah poh (A

great miracle happened here.)

Happy Chanukah!
