OK for them and their fans; the rest of us will have to look elsewhere. | | | "Merry Christmas From the Family" is the Robert Earl Keen song she performed on the You Sleigh Me compilation, "Christmas Is the Saddest Day of the Year" was out on Velvel's A Christmas to Remember, and I don't know where else you could find "Jesus Was a Dreidel Spinner," a witty little slice of thrash-klezmer. |

| | The biggest drawback to the Christmas palm is its susceptibility to lethal yellowing disease, which wiped out almost all the coconut trees in the Florida Keys and the Miami area by the 1980s and has killed thousands of Canary date palms in Texas. | | | Horticulture experts at the University of Florida in Gainesville recommend using only the larger varieties of Christmas palm, which are resistant to the disease, including Veitchia macdanialsii (40 to 50 feet tall at maturity) and Veitchia montgomeryana (25 to 35 feet tall). | | | Christmas palms with the disease will develop grayish-brown fronds that eventually drop and leave a bare trunk. |

| | New Species Of Coral Discovered Off Southern California |
| | The Christmas tree coral was first noticed by the researchers during dives for surveys of rockfishes on deep rocky banks about 40 miles off the coast, west of Los Angeles. | | | The word for black coral is "Anti" for against, and "pathos," for disease, a reference to the fact that black coral amulets were once thought to provide protection against disease and evil spirits. | | | Love named the new species "Christmas Tree Coral" (dendochristos in Greek) since it grows to a height greater than two meters and resembles pink, white and red flocked Christmas trees. |

| | Samaritan's Purse Canada Operation Christmas Child |
| | Operation Christmas Child provides a practical way for Canadians to share the joy of Christmas and the hope of Jesus Christ with children living in countries that have been ravaged by war, famine, extreme poverty, disease, or natural disaster. | | | The principles of Operation Christmas Child can be reflected by three simple, yet powerful, words - joy, faith, and compassion. | | | Together, they filled a convoy of nine trucks with medical supplies, food, clothing and Christmas gifts for children, and headed into Romania, which had recently been devastated by war. |

| | The front cover of our leaflets states: "Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan's Purse, meeting critical needs of victims of war, poverty, famine, disease and natural disaster while sharing the good news of Jesus Christ." We are open and clear about who we are and what we do. | | | Operation Christmas Child "is a unique ministry that brings Christmas joy, packed in gift-filled shoeboxes, to children around the world". | | | Under pressure from those who have complained that Operation Christmas Child is a way of promoting Christian fundamentalism through toys, evangelical literature will now be distributed alongside shoebox parcels from the UK rather than inside them - as if this makes any real difference. |
