Book Review (Midwest Book Review) - "Christmas in Dairyland" (True Stories from a Wisconsin Farm)
A heartwarming anthology of true anecdotes of rural life, April 3, 2004 Reviewer: Midwest Book Review, Oregon, WI USA Christmas In Dairyland: True Stories From A Wisconsin Farm by LeAnn R. Ralph (ISBN 1-59113-366-1; $13.95, August 2003, 153 pages) is a heartwarming anthology of true anecdotes of rural life on a Wisconsin dairy farm. Even though Wisconsin is still known as America's Dairyland, life on a family homestead is fast being replaced by corporate agribusiness, and the memories treasured in Christmas In Dairyland are quickly becoming unique milestones of an era needing to be preserved in thought and print for the sake of future generations. Christmas In Dairyland is simply wonderful reading and is a "must" for all Wisconsin public library collections. Author/PublisherChristmas in Dairylandby LeAnn R.

?Christmas For One: Mental Health Over the Holidays"
My dear friend, poet Dessa Byrd Reed, often spends holidays alone as a widow.
However, she doesn't see this, as many people often do, as a depressing circumstance.
In a November 2000 POETIC VOICES interview, she said, "Because I am single and live alone, I eat out a lot. I love to talk to strangers. That's one of my favorite things.
I go out for breakfast and talk to people."Another talented writer, Leslie Lafayette, dealt with being a childless woman by choice in WHY DON'T YOU HAVE KIDS?: Living a Full Life Without Parenthood.
You can bet that because of her choice many people would pity her.
She writes the "Alone Again, Naturally" column for the outstanding magazine THE DESERT WOMAN.
Observers might conclude she's miserable on the holidays.Both Leslie and Dessa have full lives and radiate Christmas cheer, not just in December but all year round.
While we all need human contact, it's a mistake to conclude that people without...

About: A Child's View From Behind the Lens
According to the article "Photos by a Four Year Old" by Mike Rowehl which was posted last December 23, 2004 at www.bitsplitter.net, the author was taking a picture of the Christmas tree at his parent's place when his four year old niece spotted him and wanted to take pictures too. So, he released her unsupervised for about half an hour just to see what was on his phone when she came back.Personally, when I first saw the pictures, I was a bit surprised. Are those pictures really taken by a four year old girl? I agree with what Mike has felt initially upon seeing the images for the first time. I also asked myself if his niece actually knew what she was doing. As a young one, I didn't expect that she actually knew what to capture and the plus thing was ? there was creativity in the way she took her images.The picture that I love most from among the three is the picture of her reflection in an ornament on the Christmas tree.
I was curious about what came out of her mind and had this...
