For the extensive Christmas family, numbering at least 52 in Michigan, it is Christmas every day of the year. And that means prank phone calls, amazed sales clerks and a yearly reunion in July. family "You have no idea what it feels like to be woke up at 3 a.m. to hear a drunk say 'ho, ho, ho, how's your reindeer'," says Richard Jr, 32. His father, Richard Sr., 70, replies differently to reindeer questions. He sells Christmas lawn decorations state. For now, the reindeer and Santa throughout the displays are corralled in the back yard. The family recently moved into a residentially zoned home at 1735 Boston Blvd., and the city does not permit home businesses in that area, Richard Sr. said. Until this year the family had no outdoor Christmas displays. "I was so busy building displays for other people I had no time for myself," Richard Sr. said. Richard Jr., dresses up as Santa Claus at various discount department stores during the holidays. But he is out of work this year because of a back injury. "When I'd go looking for a job as Santa Claus the personnel department wouldn't believe me," Richard Jr. said. "They would always ask me to show my birth certificate." "That's something in itself," his mother, Dorthea, piped in. "Richard was born on April Fool's day." (And Richard blushed as red as Rudolph's nose.) Richard Jr. started a campaign last 1491 Haslett Rd Haslett spring for another holiday, 339-8257 Moon Day, to be commemorated July 26. Though he convinced Alabama Gov. George Wallace of the idea, the various congressmen and legislators he contacted were somewhat about it. leery Richard Jr.'s latest project is creating the Christmas "tree" — a listing of all the Christmas families in the country. He has been hunting through the U.S. Census reports from 1850 to the present, as well as national phone books to collect the the Christmas clan. He has learned of 200 history of Christmas families so far. Richard Jr. claims his family came from England in 1850, when it changed its name from Noel to Christmas. Ingham County does not have record of the name change, but Dorthea, 73, still makes the famed Christmas pudding, which was handed down through generations from the Noel family, at holiday time. The present family includes three merry cousins, though only one spells her name Merry Christmas. Richard Jr. said one cousin was glad to change her name when she got married. Four Christmas families live in the Lansing area, including one in Bath which has 12 children. "I guess the Christmases won't wear out for a long time," Richard Jr. noted. And so, on go the prank calls wishing the family a "Merry Christmas" in July, asking for Santa and ho-ho-hoing in the middle of the night.

"Live Dates," by Wishbone Ash: A promising group from England continues to show their promise. Mo6t of the more famous songs can be found redone here. I can not help Roup's SWEATERS thinking that if this group would just add a decent singer and He'll never have enough swedters! This songwriter, they would be an unstoppable powerhouse group. Still, no complaints with this album. Christmas select a classic from our "Selling England By the Pound," by Genesis: If ever I was to sportsman's group. You'll find recommend an album that should be immediately purchased, our group complete. even if unheard, it would have to be this one. A tremendously popular group in England, Genesis is just beginning to break into the American music scene. This, their fourth (believe it or not) American album, displays the group at its finest. Imagine a cross between Jethro Tull, King Crimson, Yes, Family and Emerson, Lake and Palmer, and you will have a good idea of what this very progressive grcwp sounds like. No questions — you must buy this album. "Preservation Act One," by the Kinks: Hiis is a welcome album from one of the wori's greatest, and longest-lived, groups in the music business. Ray Davies, singer and songwriter beyond compare, has composed a sequel to the Kink's ultimate album, "The Village Green Preservation Society." And, as usual, when Da vies writes of his English homeland, he is at his creative best. Do not pass this album up. "Witness," by Spooky Tooth: After their reformation, this group has been touring quite rigorously in the United States. Surprisingly enough, they have managed to record a new album, somewhere in between stops. The record does not immediately reach out and grab you, as was the case with the Spooky Tooth of old — but it certainly grows on you. The more listens it gets, the better it sounds. A worthy successor to "You Broke My Heart, So I Busted Your Jaw." "Inside out," by John Martyn: An amazingly beautiful album. Martyn was last seen in the United States on tour with Traffic and Free, and he reportedly stole the show several times. His newest release is perhaps his most peaceful, and soothingly smooth. I do not know of anyone who does not like this artist after first hearing his music. "Space Ritual," by Hawkwind: Science-fiction rock and roll here, along with a lot of fun. This group specializes in effects — musical repetition and wild synthesizers along with blaring saxophones are a constant in their music. This, a live performance of their "Space Ritual," is certianly not a dissappointment by any means. Parts of the narration were written in collaboration with British science - fiction writer Michael Moorcock.
