Morris. Morris, 48, of Rt. 4, Waynesboro, picked up two black males at Kaylor's Restaurant in Grottoes at 11 p.m. The three then entered a HopIn store in Waynesboro at 2 a.m.

and began arguing. The police were called, but the two men Morris had offered a lift to had taken his car and driven away. When police arrived, Morris was charged with being drunk. Morris was released on bond, and police are searching for his 1974 black Plymouth. The car is valued at $500 and has license plates ZBF811.

Even with the numerous elbownudging the two receive during the holiday season, they say there are advantages to the name Christmas. "While it is difficult to convince somebody that your name really is Christmas, by the time you have them convinced, they never forget who you are," Christmas said. "And in college, there were never any last names the same as mine on the rolls to confuse anybody." Being able to remember the name Christmas probably came in handy when the couple was courting 14 years ago. "We met at church and I was introduced to him as 'Ed middle-of-theyear Mrs. Christmas said.

"It was February or March then. I remembered the name." While the Christmases don't send out "cute" Christmas cards, they do plan to spend a quiet holday at home, waiting for Santa Claus. "Do we believe in Santa Claus? Of course we do. Doesn't everybody?" Mrs. Christmas said.

In fact, Santa Claus is a relative. Christmas' father is known in Camden as Santa Claus. "My father is much smaller than Santa Claus and he never has had. a beard or mustache, but he loves kirds, and because of his last name, the nickname of Santa Claus has just stuck." If that were not enough, Santa Claus visited the Christmases one holiday about 10 years ago. "Helen was giving me a carioe for Christmas and a friend of ours said he would pick it up and deliver it for her," Christmas said.

"It just: so happened he was playing Santa Claus that year, so he picked up t'he canoe in his costume, put a big red bow around it and delivered it to me." All jokes aside, Christmas is a special time of the year for the couple. "We still get excited about Christmas, and we try to go out of our way to get each other: really nice presents," Christmas said. "'We love spend our Christmases in Waynesboro because this is our home."
