<P>THIS SIREN IS A SIGNAL FOR BAD NEWS.
<P>"I almost fainted."
<P>BUT ON CHRISTMAS--
<P>IT'S THE SOUND OF HOLIDAY CHEER.
<P>"Hey guys, Merry Christmas."
<P>THE BIG CORKSCREW FIRE TRUCK TURNED INTO SANTAS SLEIGH THIS MORNING--
<P>DELIVERING GIFTS TO FAMILIES IN NEED.
<P>"I'm getting lots of presents and love and joy and care."
<P>"Christmas gets a little bit harder every year now so this is really great."
<P>RIPPING THE WRAPPING FROM PILES OF PRESENTS--
<P>RIPPING
<P>THESE GIDDY AND GREATFUL KIDS COULDNT BELEIVE THEIR LUCK.
<P>"It's hard to explain but I feel like really excited to have all these presents."
<P>"I'm very thankful because I love seeing my brother and sister happy it's what I live for."
<P>DONATING GIFTS HAS BECOME A BIG CORKSCREW FIRE HOLIDAY TRADITION--
<P>A WAY TO GIVE BACK TO THE COMMUNITY.
<P>"It's great to come out here and see a big smile on the kids faces."
<P>"It's tough because we can only do so much and there are so many kids out there and families in need but just to be able to help a couple of people is good."
<P>A GOOD-WILLED GESTURE MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE--
<P>AND LEAVING THESE FAMLIES WITH A LIFE-LONG LESSON--
<P>"Pull it!" Horn Honks
<P>THAT GIVING IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN RECEIVING.
<P>"Christmas isn't all about giving presents it's about care and joy and caring for others."
<P>High five, alright

<P>AP-FL--Face-Chewing Attack
<P>Face-chewing victim continues recovery in Florida
<P>Eds: APNewsNow.
<P>MIAMI  - A homeless Miami man whose face was mostly chewed off in a bizarre assault says he doesn't want more surgery to repair the damage.
<P>Ronald Poppo lost an eye, his eyebrows, his nose and parts of his forehead and right cheek in the May 26 attack alongside a Miami highway. Doctors weren't able to save the sight in his remaining eye.
<P>Mutilated and blind, Poppo now lives at a long-term care facility in southern Miami-Dade County. His sister Antoinette Poppo tells The Miami Herald  that he likes his new home.
<P>She also says Poppo told her that although his face hasn't healed yet, he doesn't want more surgery because "it's going to hurt."
<P>Police shot and killed Poppo's attacker. Lab tests found only marijuana in Rudy Eugene's system.

<P>BUCCANEERS COACH GREG SCHIANO ISN'T QUITE EBENEEZER SCROOGE. BUT HE'S NOT EXACTLY THE HAPPIEST MAN IN TAMPA THIS CHRISTMAS.
<P>SCHIANO'S BUCS HAVE LOST FIVE STRAIGHT GAMES. AND HE SPENT CHRISTMAS EVE TELLING THE MEDIA THAT HE'S BEEN FRUSTRATED.
<P>FRUSTRATED BY THE FACT THAT HIS TEAM'S BEEN CLOSE TO WINNING MOST OF THOSE WEEKS. BUT LOSING DUE TO FIVE OR SIX KEY PLAYS.

<P>WRIGHT SAYS HE TESTED POSITIVE FOR ADDERALL.
<P>SCHIANO WON'T SAY IF WRIGHT WILL PLAY OR NOT ON SUNDAY.
