The Children would wrap the child Jesus as THE gift of Christmas Morning. The gift (the baby Jesus) would then be set in a prominent place within the home as Christmas neared. Before any other presents were exchanged, the youngest of the family would un-wrap the baby Jesus and place him in the manager. The Family then offers a Hail Mary in honor of Mary the Mother of God and silently asks from the little king the prayer of their hearts desire. Then all other gifts are exchanged in the name of the Christ Child. PLEASE PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRADITION BY WRAPPING YOUR INFANT JESUS AND BRINGING HIM TO CHURCH WITH YOU ON THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT!!! Heart/Soul Healthy Advent: Four Things to Strengthen Your Disposition We all know that a healthy heart provides us with a healthy life. Jesus and Saint Paul remind us that we must not lose heart and to be strengthened by the love of God in order to be found blameless in His sight. So this stands as a reminder of three things we can do during this Advent Season to be Heart/Soul Healthy. 1. EXERCISE 20 MINUTES A DAY. We all know that prayer is the exercise of our Spiritual lives… So let’s pump it up over the next 20 days! Suggestion: Use the BLUE ADVENT BOOK that we handed out last week. This day to day exercise (15 minutes) will set your heart and soul on a focus for the day. These little meditations are best as Morning Prayer. Also make the ADVENT NOVENA PRAYER a part of your family prayer at night. (There are copies/cards in the narthex and in last week’s bulletin). This prayer sets our hearts and souls in Bethlehem at the very moment of the birth our Lord. “Ask and you shall Receive!” 2. EAT PROPERLY and be nourished with substantial Foods. I suggested that is why we attend Sunday Litur- gy so that we can “Feed” on the Bread of Life …. Christ our Lord. We first eat of the Word of God in the Liturgy of the Eucharist and then feast on His Divine Presence in Holy Communion. I would challenge you to eat more of this food during Advent: Consider attending Saturday morning Mass or Tuesday evening Mass. Eat of the Holy Word of the Scriptures: Read the beginning of Saint Luke’s Gospel… the Infancy Narratives… wonderful reading as a family as well. 3. REST. We all need a “rest” from the hustle and bustle of the “xmas” season…. Award yourself this rest by PRAYING YOUR CHRIST MAS CARDS - Once a day sit in the quiet and open your Christ- mas Cards and pray them… most of them have a spiritual verse…. Let it resonate in your heart/soul. Then pray for the sender and their families. Make it a true spiritual gift rather than a decoration on the back of the door or to adorn you stair case…. You deserve to know that you are loved by the Faith shared in Christ by the sender. 4. SOUL CLEANSING. Many believe that a Colonic cleansing is good to reset your body freeing it from (poisonous) toxins. Well I am not sure the Science behind it but I know that it sure feels good to start with a clean slate!! What I am sure of is that a “Soul Cleansing” is truly necessary if one wants the long lasting ef- fects of the above three Soul/health ideas! So we have our Scheduled Advent Penance Service set for MON- DAY, DECEMBER 16th at 6:30 PM!!! Cleanse thy soul oh Lord!

Someone (usually Michael) says something cringeworthy and someone else (most often Jim) glances at the camera, slightly widens his eyes, and imperceptibly grimaces. That was weird, his face says, for all of us. That look was the central gag of The Office, NBC’s reimagining of a British television sitcom about life amidst corporate inanity. The joke never got old over nine seasons. Part of the show’s conceit is that a documentary camera crew is on hand capturing all this footage, allowing the characters to break the fourth wall with a running, reaction-shot commentary. A textbook example can be found in “Koi Pond,” from Season 6, when Jim (John Krasinski) finds the camera after Michael (Steve Carell) makes yet another inappropriate analogy during corporate sensitivity training. Don’t even try to count the number of times throughout The Office that eyebrows are alarmingly raised.

  • Classy Christmas Ideas
    Classy Christmas ideas The office Christmas party is an important event for your entire staff, so it needs to be really special. Here at King’s Venues we host festive celebrations for between 10 and 200 guests and have been part of some really fabulous events. We wanted to share some of the best themes, games, entertainment, catering choices and special touches we have seen to offer you inspiration for your Christmas party. Setting the scene A Christmas party is the perfect opportunity to get really creative with the decorations. There are loads of different themes you could go for including; All That Glitters – fill the room with twinkly fairy lights, shimmering swathes of fabric and glittery Christmas decoration. To complete the look, ask your guests to add a touch of sparkle to their party outfits. Aprés Ski – deck your space out like an Alpine ski lodge (think open fires, empty barrels for tables, sheep-skin-clad sofas, windows frosted with fake snow etc). Serve guests steaming Glühwein from wooden huts and don’t forget the fondue! Three Kings – getting regal with your theming gives you licence to splash out with the colours - gold, purple, red and metallic blue work well. Serve your food on gold platters and drink in goblets to add to the effect. Entertainment Music is hugely important at Christmas and there are lots of different ways you can incorporate this into your party. Depending on the theme of your event you could consider a playlist of Xmas pop, a festive jazz band, a choir singing traditional carols or a four piece classical ensemble.

  • Spinsters, Old Maids, and Cat Ladies: a Case Study in Containment Strategies
    SPINSTERS, OLD MAIDS, AND CAT LADIES: A CASE STUDY IN CONTAINMENT STRATEGIES Katherine Sullivan Barak A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2014 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Vikki Krane Graduate Faculty Representative Sarah Smith Rainey Marilyn Motz © 2014 Katherine Sullivan Barak All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Using Michel Foucault’s notion of “containment strategies,” this dissertation argues that representations of the crazy cat lady, the reprehensible animal hoarder, the proud spinster, and the unproductive old maid negatively frame independent, single women as models of failed White womanhood. These characters must be contained because they intrinsically transgress social norms, query gender roles, and challenge the limitations of mediated womanhood. In order to explore the role of representation, this dissertation provides a suggestive history of the ways spinsters and old maids evolved into their current iteration, the cat lady. The research begins by tracing cultural representations of cats and women from 2000 BCE through the early modern period. After this retrospective, the research focuses on two particular points of cultural anxiety connected to changing gender roles: the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. During the former, the media characterized spinsters and old maids as selfish, proud, unnatural, unproductive, and childish in newspapers, magazines, and pamphlets. Rather than focusing exclusively on the negative coverage, this dissertation deeply analyzes three transgressive novels, Agnes Grey, An Old-Fashioned Girl, and Lolly Willowes: Or the Loving Huntsman, to contextualize the ways positive representations of spinsters and old maids could threaten patriarchal society.
