	Merry-Christmas.Com: Is there really a Santa Claus? Today, Santa Claus still brings toys and gifts to good little boys and girls around the world. Sometimes children have doubts about Santa Claus and wonder if he is real. One little 8 year old girl named Virginia O'Hanlon decided the way to find out if there really was a Santa Claus was to ask the best source she could find - the New York Sun newspaper. Virginia wrote a letter to the New York Sun newspaper in 1897. "After you read this tear-jerker of a letter, be sure and visit the rest of this Christmas site folks, a real classy one."

	Let's say that on December 20 you were to meet a friendly space alien named Gorg. He asks if you would consider being his guide for the week. So you take Gorg around and start showing him your town. Since it is December 20, one thing is for sure -- Gorg is going to ask about Christmas. And he is going to ask a LOT of questions, because Christmas is a pretty complicated tradition. Think about all the different questions Gorg might ask.. "HowStuffWorks.Com has a great list of questions and answers about the subject of Christmas. Take a moment and you will be enlightened. I promise."
	International Year of Mountains 2002: Whether we live at sea level or at the highest elevations, we are all mountain people. We are connected to mountains and are affected by mountains in more ways than we can imagine. Mountains provide most of the world's fresh water, harbour as much or more biodiversity than any other areas and are home to at least one in ten people. "Looking at people from a different perspective... excellent site folks."
	The Ocean is vital to life on earth. From the life-giving rain that nourishes crops, to life-saving medicines; from the fish that come from the ocean floor, to the goods that are transported on the sea's surface - the ocean plays a role in your life in some way every day. "From the highs to the lows of this great world of ours, it is the season to ponder such things."
	The Birth of Jesus Christ: The following is part of a short series of devotional items related to the birth of Christ. For some, such material is hardly devotional because it primarily focuses on history. But we must keep in mind that the Jesus we worship was truly born in time-space history. And that babe in the manger was truly crucified--and just as surely rose from the dead. The Bible is different from the sacred books of other religions because it invites historical investigation. And when it has met the test--as it surely always, inevitably does--it inculcates a greater devotion in the heart of the believer for the one we call the Son of God. "Due to its representation of the Bible, this short series is highly recommended by the Duke, even for the non-believers who enjoy history.... Merry Christmas."
