DuboistoMi Church Members Re-enact The Nativity lh u ‘“ ut

WILLIAMSPORT - Adding new
dimensions to the traditional
nativity grouping was a live
nativity scene performed outdoors
by members of the United
Methodist Church in Duboistown
Saturday night. During a half-hour
of narration and carols, even the
elements cooperated to lend a note
of realism to the re-enactment of
the birth of Christ.
Casting its beams over the
scene, the full moon was a hand
some stand-in for the star of
Bethlehem as the audience braved
the single-digit temperatures to
watch.
After Mary and Joseph entered
the stable at Bethlehem, Mary
chose a comer of the stable in
which to lie down. Joseph scurried
to make her comfortable on the
straw. Soon, from under the
blankets, Joseph drew a baby. He

showing off their offspring to
visitors in this case, shepherds
and wise men.

The re-enactment will be per
formed again on the evenings of
Dec. 20 and 21 with an entirely new

members contributed by sewing

care of refreshments.
Shellenberger said his purpose
was to involve people in the

focus away from the glitter and

Holidays An Stressful For Seme
NEWARK, Del. - While the
holidays bring good cheer to most,
some people find this time of year
to be trying and stressful.
“For many people, the holidays
are a difficult time because of
personal troubles, strained family
relationships and painful
memories,” says Deborah Am
sden, University of Delaware
extension home economist.
Amsden mentions five groups of
people for whom the holidays are
apt to be hard to handle.
• Many working mothers spend
40 hours a week on the job and
another 30 hours a week on
household chores. And still they
feel they must do all of the holiday
extras, says Amsden.
• Young families who are living
on a tight budget nonetheless want
to buy gifts. “The list of gifts and
unexpected expenses can cause
them to use their charge cards to
the maximum limit,” she says.
• Older people on fixed incomes

not their resources,” says Am
sden.
• Single parents are often
stressed because they must share
time with their children with the
noncustodial parent, stretch their
dollars to meet holiday desires and
try to maintain conflict-free
communication with their ex
mates.
• Single adults who believe that
everyone else in the world is
surrounded by loved ones during
the holidays may feel lonely or
even depressed, the home
economist says.
“Take a serious look at your
traditions,’’ Amsden says.
“Traditions are an important
source of stability and together
ness, but they can also be stressful.
“If the traditional family dinner,
party or get-together is the source
of your distress, think of a different
way of doing things with people
who are important to you,” she
says. “You might develop a new
tradition that will better fit your
lifestyle and needs.”
