Families in need of Christmas Cheer
There are people in the local area who need help to have to have a happy holiday season. They may be ill, alone or elderly. As Alamance County residents have done in the past, you can make a difference by sponsoring one of the needy through Christmas Cheer. The agency has opened its doors in downtown Burlington to begin the sponsoring process 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. You may sponsor one or more children by providing new toys, groceries or gift certificates if needed for Christmas dinner and winter clothing if necessary. You may sponsor an elderly person by providing Christmas dinner and providing any appropriate special request. Donations of new toys, non-perishable food or money may be made directly to Christmas Cheer. The office is located at 331 S. Main St., telephone 229-9969.

Disregarding the fact that Halo 3 was released on Wednesday - netting Microsoft a cool $170 million in the US alone in just one day - this week's line up of new releases "belongs" to THQ, with no less than five games out across different formats. Juiced: Hot Import Nights, Conan, Moto GP 07, Bratz The Movie and Ratatouille to be specific. We can't vouch for their quality, but it's not often that a publisher pushes out so many titles all in one go. Unless it's a budget publisher, but they only do that to save on distribution costs. The skanks. This week's biggie though, again ignoring Halo 3, is FIFA 08. Don't actually ignore Halo 3 though - it's ruddy good! The Wii version of FIFA 08 would appear to be the one to go for - EA has added loads of extras, including a Footii Party mode presented by a Mii take on Ronaldinho.
Christmas Wish
“Christmas is around the corner and there are lots of kids in the community and surrounding areas that need your help this Christmas," Gary and Marilyn Williamson, directors of Main Street Mission, said.
“We're asking families that are able, to help those that are less fortunate by adopting a family and putting smiles on children's faces Christmas morning. With your help, we were able to help about 1,500 children last year. Let's all pull together and have an even bigger turn out this year."
Anyone wishing to adopt a family through Main Street Mission's Christmas Wish, may call 264-4347. The letters are available on the Web site www.mainstreetmission.org. For more information about Christmas Wish, call 890-9068. The first Christmas Wish letters for this year are:

Dear Christmas Wish,
I am a disabled mom and my husband was badly injured this year and is unable to work.
Monday Sports In Brief
COLLEGE FOOTBALL - The same day Texas A&M entrusted its program to one former NFL head coach, Georgia Tech decided to end the tenure of another.Coaches were coming and going around college football as each school searched for a winning formula. Georgia Tech fired Chan Gailey, the ex-Dallas Cowboys coach, while Texas A&M hired Mike Sherman, the ex-Green Bay Packers coach.Indiana gave interim coach Bill Lynch a four-year contract after he led the Hoosiers to their most successful season in 14 years. Duke fired Ted Roof, who went 2-3 as an interim coach in 2003 to earn the full-time job then won just four more games the next four seasons.At Southern Mississippi and Colorado State, two longtime, successful coaches were on their way out after disappointing years. Southern Miss’ Jeff Bower resigned after 14 straight winning seasons and 10 bowl invitations in 11 years.
Generosity makes wishes come true
Christmas Wish volunteers are gearing up for the hard task of filling wishes for hundreds of Twin Lakes Area families. The ability to fill these wishes is dependent on the generosity of area residents who unselfishly donate toys, clothing, decorations, household goods and money year-after-year to make the program successful. In the past 18 years, Christmas Wish has not failed to provide a better holiday season for thousands of children by supplying nice toys, warm clothing and food to make Christmas brighter.How to donate .
