For Chileans‚ Christmas time is in the summer‚ but they still do some of the things people do here in America. One of these things is their Santa – Viejito Pascuero or Old man Christmas. Viejito Pascuero delivers the gifts in a sleigh and either enters the house through the chimney or a window. Most of them also remember that Christmas is to celebrate Christ.

PASTOR (PART 3) (THE DECEPTIONS OF CHRISTMAS) Christmas has been with us for a very long time‚ but NOT as long as some think. Many mistakenly believe that the Christian churches have been celebrating Christmas since the church started on the Day of Pentecost. The truth is‚ for the first 400 - 500 years of Christianity there is no mention made of a celebration centering around the "birth" of Jesus.

Lack of Self-Belief Lack of belief in one’s own abilities is also a common problem in goal setting. Let’s face it; if you really believed you could achieve your goal‚ you probably would have done it already! (Unless your goal is a brand new one‚ of course.

In fact‚ this morally ambivalent story uses Raskolnikov’s subconscious struggle‚ the effect of love on other characters‚ and Raskolnikov’s redemption to exemplify Dostoevsky’s idea of man’s need for emotional stability. In the novel‚ Raskolnikov chooses an isolated life where he may not be bothered. He not only secludes himself from his family‚ but also his friend Razumihin. He lives in a “garret
