By Kevin Brown This year’s Christmas Parade was delayed due to inclement weather, which may have been the culprit of its lack of content. However, the participants involved braved the cold and empty square with an abundance of heart and enthusiasm. The floats on display were well done as they circled the courthouse twice and tossed candy to a handful of viewers, before exiting in what was less than five minutes.

Their unbreakable will should serve as a “call to arms” for future participants and demonstrate a depiction of true Christmas Spirit, hopefully inspiring us to raise the bar next year. Here is the list of this year’s winners: 1st Place – DeWitt City Nursing Home 2nd Place – PCCUA 3rd Place – Landmark Baptist Church Thank you to those participants and to the patrons that showed up in support.

What Do You Give to the Person Who Has Everything? By Rev. Daniel Kirkpatrick, minister First United Methodist Church I hope youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve completed your Christmas shopping since weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re now on the home stretch. Some of us are last minute shoppers and like the Robert Frost poem, we have â&#x20AC;&#x153;packages to go before we sleepâ&#x20AC;Ś.â&#x20AC;? It was tougher this year because the merchants reminded us that the shopping season has been shortened this year because of the calendar and the inclimate weather. Christmas more than any time of the year is the season of giving. And that includes making a list of those persons dear to your heart. But invariably, each year, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s at least one person on your list whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s impossible to buy for. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that person who has everything and needs nothing. What do you give to the person who has everything? Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be discouraged. Do you realize who the first people were who were faced with that dilemma? If you guessed the Wise Men, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right. Yes, Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Gospel in chapter 2 records for us that the Wise Men brought Jesus their most valuable gifts of that day: gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But even those valuable gifts were inadequate. Because before them in that manger lay an infant who had everything. He was the One who created the entire world. He is the King who holds the Moon and the stars in His right Hand. If Jesus had wanted for any wee thing A star in the sky or a bird on the wing, Or all of Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Angels in heavâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;n for to sing, He surely could have it â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;cause He was the King. (I Wonder as I Wander, v. 3) What can you and I possibly give to Jesus the King this Christmas, to the One who has everything? There are a 2 or 3 possibilities. Maybe we could give Him a smart phone. Yes, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s it. A smart phone. That way He can take pic-

tures of us all so and remember us! Not a good idea? Jesus doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a smart phone to know who we are. He taught us that even the hairs on our heads are numbered. He knows us better than we know ourselves. Plus we can talk to Him anytime we want! He has a 1-800 number called prayer and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never a roaming charge to dial Him up! I know. Maybe we could give Him a 70 inch high definition flat screen TV for Christmas. That way He can catch all those Christmas specials and watch the bowl games. Wait a minute, you say. Jesus doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a TV for watching Christmas specials? As a matter of fact, Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got all the music of the angels in Heaven above---the original Christmas music! Maybe He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need a high def flat panel TV after all. So back to our dilemma: what do you give to the One who has, literally everything? The one thing. The only thing.... that each of us can offer Him.....is our heart. The gift of your self is the greatest and only gift that any of us can ever give to Jesus our King. Why? Because He knows that when He gets your heart, Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get the rest of you, too! Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Christmas is all about. Following the star with the Wise Men. Coming and seeing with our own eyes. And in our hearts we fall down before Him and then we want to give something. We want to give Him anything! We want to give everything to the One who died for us and now stands at the center of all life and glory...... â&#x20AC;&#x153;O come to my heart Lord Jesus. There is room in my heart for Thee.â&#x20AC;?

Please don’t forget all my friends at church and in my Kindergarten class at St. John’s. Have a safe journey! Love, Cameron Rodgers, 6 Stuttgart, AR

Dear Santa, I’ve been a very good girl this year. Mom said I have to leave you some milk and cookies. But I really like cookies maybe we can share! Here is just a few things I would love to have. I would like a princess castle, a big pink chair, a toy box and some little people princesses. Oh! Clothes and shoes, every girl has to have clothes and shoes. Please bless everyone with a Merry Christmas. Love, Emerson Estelle

Emma Cantiwell

Dear Santa, Hi! My name is Hudson Pippinger, and I am 18 months old. I really don’t know what I want for Christmas, so if you can just bring me whatever you bring my brother, it will be the safest bet. I do like to make messes, so maybe I should ask for some paint or something messy to make my Mom have to clean. I love her! Anyway, I will try to be good; it will be difficult, but I will try. I will be helping to bake you some cookies, and I’ll try not to eat them before you get here Christmas Eve. Hope you have a safe flight, Hudson

To Santa: Tell snow flake on the first of December she will come on December. And tell her that I love her so when she comes I will look for her. Love you. From Emma Cantiwell

Will you please bring me a remote control helicopter that drops a toy bomb? I would also like a big transformer that you can build into a fire truck and a lot of different vehicles. I have been a very good boy this year. Please do not forget to bring my sisters some presents. They like girl stuff. Also please remember our dog, Chico. He loves treats. I love you. Eli Mannis 4 yrs old

Hudson Pippinger

Dear Santa, I am 3 years old this year. I like Thomas and Friends, Mickey Mouse, and Dino’s like Land Before Time. I also like playing on Momma’s phone. She said I need a learning tablet with learning games on it. Love, Gunner Hill P.S. don’t forget my Nana & Papaw from DeWitt. Me and Papaw like watching Duck Dynasty and would like the duck Dynasty game. P.S.S. Mommy will leave you some chocolate milk and Reese’s candy.

Harley Jo Grammer Dear Santa, Hello my name is Harley Grammer. I think I have been pretty good this year. Just don’t ask our elf Levi any questions I would like a FurReal Monkey, new clothes, and a play elf. P.S. I will leave you some milk and cookies. Love, Harley Jo Grammer 4yrs. old

Hadley Branscum Dear Santa, My name is Hadley Branscum and I am 8 months old. Mommy says I DO NOT need clothes and hopes you will deliver them to a child in need. I would like a swing, wagon, chewbeads, books, and any toy you think would help me learn so I can be smart like mommy and daddy! I might need some knee pads and a helmet too… I am learning to walk and it’s quite rough on my knees and noggin. What I wish for the most is to meet my Grandpa Tim (he has been in Afghanistan and hasn’t got to see me yet) and for my GoGo to kick cancer to the curb because we have a lot of shopping and fun to be had!! Please bring something for my Uncle Tractor to use when he hunts or farms and tell my Pappy I’ll see him soon! Mommy and I are making goodies to celebrate Jesus’ birthday and we will leave you some to sample too! HoHoHo and a Merry Christmas to you! Love, Hadley Branscum P.S. – I hope the reindeer like peas. I will GLADLY sneak them some! :)

Jaden Wallace Dear Santa, This is Jaden Wallace and I live in Gillett. For Christmas this year please bring me an Xbox, and an iPad Mini, a stuffed animal horse and a new 4-wheeler.

Jaden Hornbeck

Jager Wallace

Dear Santa, My name is Kimberly Jaden Hornbeck, and I am 4 years old. My elf Pixie has been keeping an eye on me for you and I have been trying to be good. I have several things on my list but mom says I need to narrow it down to just a few things. I think I need a gas powered Polaris that’s small enough for me and Landri to drive and Dad agrees with me but we are having a hard time convincing mom. I love big girl stuff like lip gloss and makeup. Please bring enough for Landri too because she uses all of mine. I will make plenty of cookies and try to keep Landri out of them. Love, Jaden

Dear Santa, My name is Jager Wallace. I am 3 years old and I live in Gillett. I’ve tried to be good this year, but I just REALLY like to see what all I can get into. I’ve really learned a lot this year, but I’m not so sure I have you figured out yet. I mean, If I’m good you’ll bring me all that stuff I see on tv…right? But Momma says I have to stop blaming my twin brother Jaxon for all the mess around the house. Because she says you can see EVERTYHING I do. So saying, “Jaxon did it” really doesn’t help me out any. But if you can just get past all that, I’d really like you to bring me some presents! I really like cars and trucks and I LOVE SpongeBob (I’ve even picked up a few colorful phrases from him this year). And can you bring me my own Kindle? I really like to play that running game, and my sister Jaden gets mad when I play on her Kindle. Also, please don’t forget my twin brother Jaxon and my sisters Jacey and Jaden. Love, Jager Wallace

Jaxon Wallace Dear Santa, My name is Jaxon Wallace. I am 3 years old and I live in Gillett. You know how they talk about the terrible two’s? Well, my mom says that must continue into the three’s also. I don’t really know what that means, but I have a feeling it’s not a good thing! And do you think you could tell me why Momma and Daddy had to tie the refrigerator door closed? Don’t they understand there is just too much stuff in there? I’m just a curious little boy… and being good is hard work! So Santa, don’t you think you can overlook all that stuff and bring me some good presents? I would really like any kind of cars… red ones, yellow ones, fast ones. I don’t care as long as it has wheels! I also like to play on my sister Jaden’s Kindle and it makes her really mad, so could you bring me my own. Oh, and I LOVE this new show called Paw Patrol, so any toy with them would be fun! Please don’t forget my twin brother, Jager, and my sisters Jacey and Jaden. I’ll try to leave you some cookies… but I REALLY like to eat! Love, Jaxon Wallace

Landri Hornbeck Dear Santa, My name is Landri Kate Hornbeck and I am 2 years old. I think I’ve been a pretty good girl but mom will probably tell you different. Jaden says that you sent that elf Pixie to make sure we are being good but I don’t pay much attention to her. I love anything of mommy’s or Jaden’s that I’m not supposed to play with. So if you will please bring me some makeup and bubble bath of my own that would be great. Daddy says that me and Jaden need some kind of kid sized gas powered Polaris but mommy isn’t so sure about all of that! I will try to leave enough cookies for you. Love, Landri

Lacy Morgan Dear Santa, My name is Lacy and I’m 1 this year. I was pretty small last year when you came around so I’m looking forward to your visit again this year. My 4 bigger sisters have been telling me all about you. I’m sure you’re as nice as they say you are. I just hope my bitter sister Emma doesn’t cry to much when we see you again this year like she did last year. I don’t really know what to ask for from you for Christmas. I don’t really need anything. My mama says I’m growing pretty fast though and I probably need some new clothes. There’s just no fun in that though! I really think something from the John Deere store would be fun. My daddy works there and he let me look at all their toys one day. I could have stayed there forever if he would let me! Please be safe on your journey this year. I’ll try to talk everyone into leaving something out in the yard for all the reindeer this year. I know they get hungry too. Of course we’ll have some yummy cookies for you with something cold to wash them down. Can’t wait to see what you leave for all of us! Love, Lacy Elise Morgan

Kyler Counce Dear Santa, Thank you for the new toys you brought last Christmas. Our elf Comet came back and said I needed to write you a letter with my Christmas list. I want a Nintendo DS, a toy motorcycle, a hunting game for the Wii, a digital drum set, a basketball game, a pogo stick and a guitar stand. I think that is it. If I think of anything else I will Comet let you know. We will leave you some cookies and milk. Merry Christmas. Love, Kyler Counce Age 6

Kenley Noble Dear Santa, Thank you for making my 1st Christmas so special and sweet. I’ll be sure and tell mom to leave you a tasty treat. I’ve been a pretty good girl, but I’m still so young and sometimes it’s hard for me to understand right from wrong. I really like to bounce and climb. I don’t understand why this is such a crime. So this year I need something to give moms furniture a rest. A jungle gym or bouncy house would be sure to pass the test. Oh and don’t forget if you want your milk and cookies you got to be quick. Because my dear old daddy will eat them, he’s still pretty slick. Love, Kenley Noble

Kaden Pippinger Dear Santa, My name is Kaden Pippinger, and I am 4 years old. I have really tried to be a good boy this year, but I am ALL boy and it is sometimes hard for me to act right. I will try to be on my best behavior from here on out though. I would like to ask for a couple things for Christmas this year. I don’t want much, but I know if I ask you, I will have a greater chance of getting what I do want. I’d really like to have a real baby kitty. My dad says, “No,” so that’s why I’m asking you. I’d also like to have a remote controlled Dusty. I tried to explain it to my mom, but she just doesn’t get it. I know you will know exactly what I am talking about. My little brother isn’t very nice sometimes, but please bring him something new, so that he will not try to play with my new toys. I will bake you some cookies, and leave you some milk on Christmas Eve, so that you will not get hungry. Have a safe flight, Kaden

Kani Hornbeck Dear Santa, My name is Kani Rae Hornbeck and I am 10 months old. Mommy says I have been such a good girl, but she also says I’m lazy since I don’t crawl or walk or do anything but sit in the floor and play with my toys. She says you should probably bring something that might motivate me to crawl. Jaden and Landri think they are getting some kind of gas powered big girl ride and if that’s the case you should probably bring me a helmet and some pads of some sort. Jaden and Landri tell me that we have to bake cookies for you and I promise not to sample too many. Love, Kani

Maggie Abel Dear Santa, Hi. My name is Maggie Abel. I am a busy 2 year old. All I want for Christmas is a baby doll bed and bubbles. I have tried to be a good girl this year, but being 2 makes it really hard. I will have milk and cookies for you. I love you Santa. Love, Maggie

Hello Santa!! My name is Shyla Fitzpatrick, and I am almost 10 months old. I’m not real sure what all this Christmas stuff is about, yet, but I sure do LOVE looking at our tree. Momma and Daddy tell me I probably won’t like you when we visit, but hey! I’ll TRY to give you a chance. They tell me I’m supposed to have a list of things I’d like you to bring me for Christmas, so here goes: First of all, I need some new clothes and PJ’s because I love to eat and my old ones are getting a little snug! I ‘d like some toys that light up and make noise, because that’s about the only thing that will hold my attention these days. I’d also like a baby doll and purse (Momma says I need these) and a basketball goal and ball (Daddy says I need these). Anything else you think I will like will be fine! Please remember my Daddy, Momma, G-Momma, Granny, Nanny, and Mama Ada, because they have all been really good to me. Also, remember ALL of my cousins and all the little children around the world. For your long trip, I’ll leave you Oreos and milk (if Daddy doesn’t eat them all before you get there!) Have a safe flight, Santa! And I will see you very soon! Love always, Shyla

WHO CAME TO THE MANGER? By Bro. Dennis Ingle, Pastor, Unity MBC This time of year we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. We decorate our homes and yard with scenes from the Christmas story. We always see the manger, Mary, Joseph, and the baby Jesus along with the shepherds and angels. Then, there are the wise men. So really who came to the manger? According to Matthew 2:1-16, we find the story of the visit of the wise men. In verse 2, we find they came to Jerusalem asking, “Where is He that is born King of the Jews?” Herod and Jerusalem hearing that a King was born were troubled. Herod begin to inquire as to “where Christ was to be born.” His adviser told him what the prophet Micah had prophesied,that Jesus was to be born in Bethlehem of Judea. Now notice his inquiry of the wise men. “Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.” (v. 7) How long has it been since you have seen the star? After finding out where he was to be born and how long it had been, Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem to find the young child.Herod told the wise men that he also wanted to come and worship the young child,but Herod sought to kill him. The wise men follow the star “til it came and stood over where the young child was.” Now notice verse 11, “And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold,and frankincense, and myrrh.” The wise men went to a house not a manger. So howold was Jesus when the wise men came to the house? Well, let’s look at the time period in which Herod had inquired of the wise men. In verse 16 we find, “Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.” Notice two years old and under. Jesus must have been somewhere around two years old when the wise men came to where he was. Biblical scholars say that He was probably between 18 month to two years. He could not have been a baby. When you consider the time it would have taken the wise men to see the star andfind out its meaning, then to travel from deep in Egypt to the city of Jerusalem, meet with Herod, then travel to the house where Jesus was, you’re looking at a great periodof time. So as we celebrate Christmas, I know it’s not about the manger scene, let’s celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

“...there is a Santa Claus.” YES, VIRGINIA “Yes, indeed!

“Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by skepticism of a skeptical age-they do not beleive what they see- they think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as

if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The eternal light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies!! You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if they did not see Santa Claus coming down, what

lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there - nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders that are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, or even the united strengthof all the strongest men, that ever lived, could tear apart. Only faith, fancy, poetry, love, romance, can push aside the would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus - the most real things in the

world are those neither children nor man can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the

curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! - he lives, and he lives forever - a thousand years from now, Virginia, nay, ten thousand years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

what all the fuss is about! I have been a very good boy, or so I think. My mommy calls me a mess pot and says I’m in to everything, but I am just adventurous. I love to eat and chew on everything, so for Christmas, anything to help me cut these teeth would be greatly appreciated. I love anything with lots of colors and noise and anything Mickey Mouse! I will leave you milk and cookies if my daddy doesn’t eat them all. Thank you and Merry Christmas! Love your friend, Cohen
