By ROY L. SMITH
Member, Kiwanis Club of Ange
les, California, in The Kiwanis
Magazine.
In the midst of the last minute
Christmas rush when the town post
office was crowded with those who
were mailing Christmas packages of
all sizes and shapes, he came up to
the door with his arms piled high
and with a none too amiable expres
sion on his face.
It was easy to.see_that this Ameri
can busings Tnah looked upon the
assignment of mailihg the annual
Christmas gifts and greetings as
something of a nuisance, if not an im
position. He seemed to be such a
practical person and Christmas was
Btwh a sentimental business!
Somehow, in manipulating the door
open, he managed to start a stampede
among the package.^, with the result
that they started off in all directions,
some actually getting inside the post
office, some landing on the steps, out
side, and a few disappearing in the
snow piled high beside the steps.
In that tense moment which follow
ed, a bystander with tantalizing hu
mor called out merrily, “Merry
Christmas to you.” With that the
business man stopped for a st^cond
or two and .*5tart‘d.^ Then, with the
fluency and fei-vor
rent of profapity that utterly"Weii'iHl
the spirit of the packagp.s he had
just lost. .As other bystanders went
off into roars of laughU^r, the angry
one fumed and raged helplessly. He
was in the midst of Christmas, but he
had no jjart in it.z . -
• It is so easy tOxga^^oa^^ through
liss Christ;
mas entirely^ One can carry Christ
mas packages to the post office, buy
beautiful gifts for friends and loved
ones, send out artistic greetings to
every one on the list, eat a bountiful
Christmas dinner, and even give
Christmas baskets to the p(H)r, and
still miss Christmas completely.
Christmas Is not a date on the
calendar, nor a .season of the year, but
a spirit within the heart. One can
have all the w’rappings of Christmas
and participate in §11 the Christmas
festivities, and if he does not have
that mystical spirit within his own
soul which transforms and sanctifies
he will miss Christmas altogether.
Christmas is a strange blend of the
spirit of a little child and the faith of
an old man who has seen righteous
ness triumph; a combination of faith,
hope and tru.st; a forgetfulness of self
ami a sense of worth-whileness; a
faith in God and a confidence in man;
ar experiment in the life of the spirit
of peace and goodwill; a disdain for
deficits and an indiferrence to thrift;
a conservation of the loveliest and a
prodigal spending of one’s best and
holiej>t; an upw’ard look of the soul
to God, and a downward reach of the
hands to those who are in need.
One reason why so many miss
Christmas is because they do not be
gin making preparation for it early
enough. Those who get“tlm most out
of it, and find the most in it, are
those who begin getting ready for it
the first day after the last Chri.stmas.
