The legend of Santa Claus and the nine reindeer by Kevin Dayhoff
The legend of Santa Claus and the nine reindeer by Kevin Dayhoff Merry Christmas.
The tradition that Santa Claus, or Father Christmas as he is known in England, traveled through the night in a sleigh pulled by eight reindeer is thought to be a Scandinavian myth.
We got the ninth reindeer, Rudolf, from the department store, Montgomery Ward. The character first appeared in a 1939 publication by Robert L. May, which was marketed by Montgomery Ward. According to many sources, including a December 25, 2013 story on "Morning Edition," on NPR, the author considered the name 'Reginald' or 'Rollo,' before settling upon the name Rudolf...

Throughout history, Westminster and Carroll County have been
filled with the spirit of the season for the Christmas holidays. No Grinches here.

Actually, some of my all-time Christmas favorites include
"The Chipmunk Song" sung by Alvin and the Chipmunks in 1958 and
"I Want a Hippopotamus for Christmas" written by John Rox and
performed by Gayla Peevey, 10 years old at the time, in 1953.

Another classic that comes to mind is a little more offbeat,
"I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" by Tommie Connor. He was only 13
years old when it was recorded in 1952. The song was actually banned by the
Catholic Church in several cities.

Visiting the P. Graham Dunn, art, gifts, home decor... store in Dalton, Ohio Nov. 25, 2016 Friday
It is a fascinating store that manufactures and sell woodworking products; much of which is of a patriotic, agricultural, arts and crafty, and religious theme.
The customers are predominantly Mennonite and some Amish - complete with horse and buggies outside. Another great bonus is that the clientele actually dresses appropriately to be out in public. And folks are respectful and polite. Just saying.
It is a really neat store. Almost like an art gallery... Perfect place to visit for someone who maintained his woodworking workshop and radial arm saw in the living room for fifteen years.

The short version of my remarks this morning at the Opening ceremonies for the 62nd St. John Catholic Church Christmas Bazaar
By Baltimore Sun writer Kevin E. Dayhoff, the former
mayor of Westminster from 2001-2005
This year the bazaar is open from 8:30 a.m. – 4:00
p.m.
43 Monroe Street, Westminster, MD 21157
Good morning. On behalf of Westminster’s past and present
elected officials, I would like to welcome you to the 62nd consecutive
St. John Christmas Bazaar.
For the past 12-years I have been a journalist at the
Baltimore Sun writing mostly history. At my age I am greatly amused that many
events that took place in my childhood are now studied as history by today’s
school children.
I look forward to the Christmas bazaar every year. When I
was very young, the bazaar was part of a family adventure during the Christmas
season.
During my high school years from 1969 through 1971, I often
attended Mass at St. John with a good friend. I recall when the last Mass was
held on February 4, 1968 at the church building on Main Street in town.
Last year when my wife Caroline and I were enjoying lunch at
the bazaar with Mary Mussari, I was pleased when John Bryan asked me to speak
at this year’s opening. Mr. Bryan told me that recently the ceremony has been
dedicated to our servicemen and women – - and that this year we are paying a
special recognition to Vietnam Vets.
It was just a few short weeks ago that our community came
together to observe Veterans Day. No community does it better than Carroll
County.
I served stateside in the United States Marine Corps Reserve
from 1971 to 1973. Although I was not deployed, it has remained a sobering
event in my life to have stepped-up the plate, despite a high draft number,
signed on the dotted line, and
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.
volunteered to serve during the Vietnam War.
This year, schools set the example for all of Carroll County
by commemorating Veterans Day with many thoughtful, and well-planned services
and programs.
In recent years Veterans Day has turned more somber. In the past, much of the
community came together to celebrate
the end of World War One and World War Two, and the Korean War.
Much of the nation saw nothing to celebrate for decades
after the end of the Vietnam War. The war had dragged-on for over 19 years - for
what seemed an eternity.
After the United States ended its direct involvement in the
war on August 15, 1973, veterans were treated with scorn by the American left
that proudly heaped insult upon injury upon those who served during the war.
Thankfully, the current youngest generation has seen fit to
honor its veterans that have served proudly in the first and second Gulf Wars –
and they treat Vietnam veterans with great dignity and respect.
Over 2.7 million Americans served in the Vietnam War. The
average age was 19. Of that number, 300,000 were wounded in action, and 75,000
were disabled.
It has been estimated that almost 5 million military
personnel and civilians, from all sides, lost their life in the Vietnam War. Of
the 58,200 names listed on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC, 1,046
are Marylanders who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Although many Vietnam era vets still harbor a deep-seated
resentment as to how we were treated, the manner in which we are treated by the
youngest generation brings tears to our eyes and has gone a long way to heal
the wounds of decades of being abused and ignored.
Today, we pay a special tribute to the eighteen fallen
heroes from Carroll County, whose faces are etched in the black granite
monument in the Vietnam Memorial Park on Willis Street that was dedicated on
May 28, 1990.
We hold dear in our hearts the eighteen names: Ronald Kenny;
Christopher Miller, Jr.; Carl Egolf; James Byers; Russell Amoss; Russell
Milberry; Everett Justice, Jr.; Michael Kidd; John Feezer; Sherman Flanagan,
Jr.; Muriel Groomes; Joseph Oreto; Frederick Magsamen; Franklin Underwood, Jr.;
James Zumbrun; Joseph Blickenstaff, Jr.; David Steger; and Herbert Mulkey, Jr.
The faces of the eighteen names on the monument are frozen
in time. Some we knew. Some we didn’t. But they were all someone’s son or
father or brother or uncle – or a cherished childhood friend. Their faces have
been silent for many years, but they all have a story to tell.
Today it is only right to recall the profound words from Ephesians,
“Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles
of the devil, and be armed with the power of the Spirit, so that we may
continue to make the Gospel understandable to those of us, who after many years,
still have unanswered questions…”
God Bless and Semper Fi to all our brothers and sisters in
uniform that served and died to protect our freedoms - and cannot attend the
bazaar. Thank you for having me speak with you today. It was an honor.

Yes Dear Readers Fruitcake Has A History by Kevin Dayhoff
Yes, Dear Readers, Fruitcake Has A History

Fruitcake
The holidays are upon us and I can only be sure that many thoughts
have turned to getting together with family and friends – and of course, the
wonders of fruitcake.
Yes, fruitcake. Yeah! I know it is a rather heavy subject
for the Christmas season, but fools rush in where angels fear to tread. I’ve
been called many things over the years, but “Angel” is not one of them, so here
goes.
Seems nothing stirs the passions of many like the subject of
food. I’m still nursing the bruising I took several years ago when I commented
on the virtues of squash: “As much as I like vegetables, one food that does not
exist on the Dayhoff's Nutrition Pyramid (DNP) is squash. God created the
squash as a joke. The word "squash" is Native-American for "mud
disguised as plant."
Moving along; your intrepid writer here has observed that
first among equals on the holiday food passion meter seems to be the topic of
fruitcake. After all, nothing warms the cockles of one’s heart like fruitcake
on a cold Central Maryland night. I have been
told that fruitcake burns – forever – in the fireplace at a rather high
temperature; and it adds a brilliant display of holiday colors to the flames.
The subject of fruitcake arrived when I was recently asked
as to what was my favorite food during the holidays. To which I answered,
“Yes!!!”
Fruitcake has gotten a bad rap over the years. That’s
probably because people haven’t had homemade dark fruitcake with icing – a
Southern tradition.
According to various learned commentaries on the virtues of
fruitcake, the concoction of chopped candied fruit, nuts, and spices – and
plenty of alcohol – was quite popular at Victorian teas in 19th century England , where
many know it as “Christmas Cake.”
Another variation of fruitcake – or “fruit bread,” …http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5537

What to Do with Leftover Fruitcake by Pam Grout December
13, 2011 Holiday desserts sail over Manitou Springs, Colo. http://americanprofile.com/articles/fruitcake-toss-manitou-springs-colorado/
Wearing military-style fatigues and an aviator cap, Jerry
Pokorny, 64, stuffs a frozen fruitcake into a long, slim tube attached to an
exercise bike. He checks printed satellite maps, twists the valve on a
10-gallon tank of compressed air and–kaboom!–the fruitcake sails across the high
school football field in Manitou Springs , Colo. (pop. 4,992), past the goalposts and into the
distance toward Pikes Peak .
Calling himself "a retired engineer with too much time
on his hands," Pokorny built his wacky "Fruitcake of Mass
Destruction" out of parts from a junkyard to join 75 contestants in the
2011 Manitou Springs Great Fruitcake Toss. The annual event celebrates the
world's most reviled and underappreciated holiday dessert by challenging
contestants to toss, hurl and fling fruitcakes through the air, occasionally
obliterating the sugary artillery in the process…http://americanprofile.com/articles/fruitcake-toss-manitou-springs-colorado/
