After the recent string of burglaries during Thanksgiving break, both on and off-campus residents need to make doubly sure to secure their doors and windows with locks or other devices. It's smart to get into the habit of locking things up now, especially since everone' s busy shopping for gifts and stashing them in closets and under beds. Burglars are aware of this, and look forward to you taking for granted your supposedly "safe" neighborhoods and residence halls. Every time you leave your dorm room unlocked to run across the hall to the bathroom or down to the lobby for a snack, you leave all of your personal effects up for grabs for whoever cares to take them. Need proof? Check out the police beat on page two in any given issue of The George-Anne and note at least one case of this unfortunate yet common occurrence. If you live in an apartment complex, the same rules apply. Make sure to have a discussion with your roommates expressing your concern that the doors and windows remain locked unless there are people in the apartment. During parties, it is a wise idea to put all valuable items such as VCRs, jewelry, portable stereos, The good, the bad, the kicking of some umASS CDs, etc. into a locked closet or bedroom.

This tradition is not a religious holiday and was purposely placed after Christmas. Kwanza celebrates African culture and looks back toward the roots of African Americans. Christmas Christmas is probably the most widely celebrated and has a cornu- copia of origins as the basis for every part of the tradition. Christmas trees have several legends, one of which says St. Boniface chopped - , Just don't down an oak tree to stop some pagans from sacrificing a child under it. A fir tree grew up in it's place and represents the body of Christ. Santa's origins are also pagan and widespread, from Germany's St. Nicholas, to Dutch SinterClaus. Our Santa today was fabricated by the Coca-Cola Company as an advertisement(you'U notice that Santa do it! wears red and white, which are the Coke colors). But the true meaning of Christmas is to celebrate the birth of Christ. No matter how you celebrate this season, it is a time of family, friends and good spirits.
