Be Careful In Gathering Your Christmas Greens

Democratic Advocate, December 8, 1922.

http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2011/12/december-8-1922-be-careful-in-gathering.html

Labels: Annual Christmas, Annual Christmas decorations, Annual Christmas Trees, Christmas history

This is the season of the year when property owners, especially along the highways, should exercise the utmost vigilance in protecting their evergreens, holly, running pine, laurel and the like.

The gathering of Christmas greens became such a serious matter, because of vandalism practiced, that the Legislature of 1918 enacted a special law covering the subject.

This law makes it a misdemeanor, with a fine of $25.00 or 90 days imprisonment, or both, to remove, injure, or destroy any trees or shrubs, without the written consent of the owner, or except under his personal direction.

The State Board of Forestry is cooperating with land owners in the enforcement of this law, and will be glad to furnish, without charge, suitable posters for the protection of property to any who may desire them.

Democratic Advocate, December 8, 1922. 19221208

Setting up shop in Westminster to help Neighbors in Need

Katie V. Jones – ExploreCarroll.com Setting up shop in Westminster to help Neighbors in Need

Annual holiday campaign collecting for area's less fortunate

By Katie V. Jones

December 8, 2011 http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-holiday-need-1211-20111208,0,5337048.story

Adults and teenagers enjoy presents, too, and that's why the Neighbor in Need's holiday shop tries to offer something for every member of the family, from young to old.

"Who wants to wake up on Christmas morning and not have something?' said Holly Hutchins, deputy director of the program. "That's the focus of the program, we serve the whole household."

Created in 1987 through the Human Services Program of Carroll County, Neighbors in Need has the goal of helping low income families and individuals during the holidays.

Snappy Retorts To Rude Holiday Questions

http://www.baltimoresun.com/hc-op-barreca-christmas-time-questions-1202-20111202,0,2306352.column

Gina BarrecaNot That I'm Bitter

9:00 a.m. EST, December 2, 2011

Welcome to December! Get out the tissue paper and the bows. While you're at it, get out the tissues and the waterproof mascara. It's the holiday season, sweetie. Just face the fact that somebody in your family will make you cry before the month is out.

I don't care whether you're Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Shinto or a practicing atheist; if you're female and you have relatives, you'll be making weepy, baby-seal eyes at somebody's casual question while "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" plays endlessly in the background....

[...]

To prepare in advance for assaults both real and imagined, I asked my friends Sam and Antoinette to compile a series of replies to help the most fragile egos survive the rest of 2011 with the fewest tears — while having the most fun possible.... http://www.baltimoresun.com/hc-op-barreca-christmas-time-questions-1202-20111202,0,2306352.column
