J2i a
Saturnalia
From December 17 to 23, the ancient Romans stopped all
work and celebrated the festival of Saturnalia. A tribute to
the winter solstice as well as Saturn, the god of agriculture,
Saturnalia was a time to celebrate the fecundity of the fields
and the people But it was also a time when schools were
closed, war making ceased, and all men whether slave or free,
rich or poor, were declared equal Anger, resentments, and
threats were against the law Libamus, a fourth
—TVjjJ century Greek, wrote "A stream of presents
pours itself out on all sides It may justly be said
that it is the fairest time of the year " Little won
der that the early Christian church incorporated
many aspects of this pagan festival into the
Christian feast day it later became
n e merry In heart have a continual feast.
Don’t store soft and crisp cookies in the same contain
er or the crisp cookies will soon become limp.
EARTHWISE
Every year it’s the same
thing "Batteries not in
cluded ” It comes as no
surprise that about 40% of
the 2 5 billion disposable bat
teries sold annually in the
U S are purchased at this
time ot year And a sizable
portion of them are disposed
of early in the New Year
This year, give yourself and
the planet a present The new
breed of rapid-charge batter
ies and chargers virtu- A
ally eliminate the dis- f~ J
advantages of ni-
cad batteries
and save you a
bundle.
