It is much deeper, and if you could just spend one day around the children ofa school perhaps the mess we have ourselves embroiled in would seem less hurtful and less demanding of an immediate response.

If we could get back to the real meaning of this season, perhaps we could misplace some of the bands that persuade us to all seek a harsher retort. If we could capture the wonder and the level of loving that our children have at all times, we could certainly achieve that World Peace that seems to have eluded us for all these many centuries. Leave the Grinch home this Christmas Helpful holiday trip suggestions from AAA Utah To avoid having anyone turn into the Grinch, plan for the unexpected, look for ways to have fun and give yourself plenty of time for holiday trips, suggests AAA Utah. The difference between enjoying and enduring the holiday season can be simply said Rolayne Fairclough, AAA Utah spokeswoman. Considering the needs of both the children and adults when planning a holiday trip will reap rewards of a pleasant experience along the way to your destination. To help holiday travelers AAA Utah offers these suggestion: Avoid hurrying the holiday by leaving a day earlier and returning a day later. Leave plenty of travel time.

Take a break every two hours or 100 miles to avoid fatigue. Plan creative stops along the way. While highway rest stops are convenient, visits to parks, landmarks or small towns can make your trip more memorable. To avoid breakdowns, prepare your vehicle in advance by having it inspected and winterized for the trip. Bring a cellular phone in case of emergencies. Watch the weather report and plan for the temperature. Blankets and pillows can help make travelers more comfortable. Pack the vehicle so the drivers view of the road is not obstructed. Make sure everyone is in an night stay, rather than making the trip an endurance test. appropriate seat belt or child Look into alternative routes. safety restraint. - Quality (ftuTo Repair - mmoGESwn All of us at Kanab Tire would like to take this opportunity to ensure that everyone has a Merry Christmas... ess ffleQp mimrrr anas DaiytnnTiru Gbffldren in ifleed 2 of our total sales from now until Christmas Eve will be donated to mssrn 1 r Operated for Over 20 Years Cr?vV tor Santa! ij) oTU 515)0 ?mi i i i fik 7 ' $10 OFF A J Computer Wheel Alignment! |
