Of  course  both  Deborah  and  I  have  also  had  to  adjust  our  expectations  about  what  Christmas  day  would  be  like.  Part  of  the  adjustment  was  that  our  families  had  somewhat  different  traditions,  and  so  most  years  one  or  the  other  (or  both)  of  us  had  to  give  up  some  tradition.  Anther  part  of  the  ad-­ justment  (mostly  for  her)  was  that  my  family  gatherings  involved  a  lot  more  people,  and  were  louder  and  more  overwhelming.

And  becoming  parents  also  requires  a  change  in  expectation.  We  move  from  being  primarily  the  recipients  of  gifts  (as  children  and  grandchildren)  to  being  the  givers  of  gifts,  often  to  those  who  have  no  means  (and  early  on  perhaps  not  even  much  thought)  of  reciprocating.  It  is  not  by  any  means  a  bad  shift  in  expectations.  Giving  re-­ ally  is  more  blessed  and  delightful  than  receiving.  But  it  is  a  shift  nonetheless.  3XWWLQJ DQ H[SHQVLYH QHZ Ă&#x20AC;\ URG RU reel  on  my  Christmas  wish  list  would  be  an  exercise  in  futility.  Waiting  to  watch  a  child  open  some  new  sporting  item  or  piece  of  electronics  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  hope-­ fully  with  great  delight  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  becomes  the  new  expectation.  2WKHU DGMXVWPHQWV FDQ EH PRUH GLIÂż-­ cult.  I  was  given  my  middle  name  after  my  maternal  grandfather  Tom  Riddle.  (Yes,  Harry  Potter  fans.  I  really  did  have  a  grandfather  with  that  name.)  *UDQGSD 5LGGOH ORYHG WR ÂżVK DQG KXQW and  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  sure  I  inherited  some  of  that  passion  from  him.  He  died  on  a  Christ-­ mas  Day  when  I  was  15  years  old.  I  remember  getting  the  phone  call  and  having  to  relay  the  news  to  my  mother  who  had  taken  a  walk  to  our  neighbors  to  pass  on  the  dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  greetings.  And  about  a  decade  later,  my  motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  only  sister  died  over  the  holidays,  suffering  a  stroke  just  two  days  before  Christmas  that  put  her  into  a  coma  from  which  she  never  awoke.  Though  these  two  deaths  did  not  remove  for  my  mother  all  of  the  joy  of  Christmas,  they  did  make  the  holiday  more  bittersweet  for  her  and  her  family,  partly  shaping  their  expectations  for  the  season.

In  some  ways,  it  is  appropriate  that  Christmas  is  a  time  when  our  expec-­ WDWLRQV FKDQJH 7KH ÂżUVW &KULVWPDV some  2,000  years  ago,  was  also  a  time  of  changing  expectations.  It  was  a  dif-­ ÂżFXOW WLPH IRU 0DU\ DQG -RVHSK WKH parents  of  the  famous  newborn  baby.  $QG LQGHHG LW ZDV D GLIÂżFXOW WLPH IRU WKHLU HQWLUH QDWLRQ 7KLV \RXQJ -HZLVK couple  lived  among  an  oppressed  peo-­ ple,  under  the  tyrannical  thumb  of  the  Roman  Empire,  and  with  a  cruel  and  PXUGHURXV -HZLVK SXSSHW NLQJ QDPHG +HURG 0DU\ DQG -RVHSK WKHPVHOYHV were  temporarily  homeless  thanks  to  a  new  census  imposed  by  the  emperor  in  order  to  increase  even  further  the  oppressive  tax  burden.  Mary  had  to  give  birth  in  an  animal  stable  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  prob-­ ably  a  cave.  It  was  not  an  ideal  situ-­ ation.  But  as  dire  as  their  condition  seemed,  the  people  of  Israel  were  not  completely  hopeless.  Trusting  in  prophecies  spoken  700   or  more  years  HDUOLHU PDQ\ -HZV ZHUH H[SHFWLQJ D Messiah  (or  to  use  the  Greek  word,  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Christâ&#x20AC;?)  who  would  come  and  rescue  them  from  that  oppression.  They  were  expecting  the  Messiah-­Christ  to  be  a  political  or  military  leader  who  would  make  their  nation  once  again  free.  Who  would  drive  off  the  Romans  and  bring  autonomy  and  peace  and  free-­ GRP WR WKH -HZV DV PDQ\ UHYROWV KDG attempted  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  failed  to  do  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  the  previous  many  decades).

Also,  26  years  later,  I  still  have  that  football.  Though  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  pretty  worn  out  now,  I  still  bring  it  to  family  gather-­ ings  at  times.  I  even  let  Michael  play  with  it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  against  the  law  to  discriminate  when  advertising  housing.

Particularly  on  sites  like  Craigslist.

And  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  easier  to  break  the  law  than  you  might  think.  You  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  say  â&#x20AC;&#x153;no  childrenâ&#x20AC;?  or  â&#x20AC;&#x153;adults  only.â&#x20AC;?  There  is  lots  you  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  say.  The  federal  government  is  watching  for  such  discrimination.

Let  us  help  you  sift  through  the  complexities  of  the  Fair  Housing  Law.  Stay  legal.  Stay  on  the  right  side  of  the  nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Fair  Housing  Law.  Call  the  Addison  Independent  at  (802)  388-­4944.

Breakfast special A LARGE NUMBER of children and their families gathered at the Middlebury Inn on Dec. 13 for a delicious pancake breakfast at the annual Middlebury Character Breakfast. The scene was complete with a cast of characters that include Frozen’s Anna and Elsa, that movie’s popular snowman Olaf, a gingerbread man, a reindeer and several elves. This event included balloons, a photo booth (with props!) and a placemat to color featuring all of the Very Merry Mid-­ dlebury characters. It was part of the Better Middlebury Partner-­ ship’s Very Merry Middlebury celebration.
