Make your holiday decorations
and you will not only save money,
you’ll have fun.
A kissing ring for a doorway can
be made by covering two embroid
ery hoops with ribbon or tinsel.
Place them at right angles to each
other and add a bell, ball orna
ment or sprig of mistletoe inside.
Attach a bow at the bottom if you
wish. Instead of embroidery hoops,
you may use can rings painted
with gilt or tempera paints.
Evergreen branches can be used
in many ways. Have you ever tried
covering the wood moulding about
a door with them? Or bending a
wire coat hanger into a circle and
attaching greens to it to form a
wreath? You can add ball orna
ments or bright cranberries to
brighten it a bit.
Then how about decorating your
windows and mirrors? Cotton,
white spray paint or white paper
snowflakes always look pretty. But
if there’s an artist in your family,
why not have him paint a scene
of a jolly Santa on a window *
mirror with tempera* paints?

As the angels sang on that first
Christmas night, so will there be
singing in the village of Bethlehem
in this year of 1955.
Bethlehem caroling is in many
languages. An Arab choir will join
with the voices of tourists and pil
grims in a simple outdoor service.
In a grotto which might have been
the sheepfold for the watching
shepherds, the Christmas story
will be read from the Gospel of
St. Luke.
The stone buildings and churches
of' Bethlehem will be filled with
thousands of pilgrims who have
journeyed here for a pontifical
mass at midnight in St. Catherine’s
Chapel and the procession which
later leads down a flight of stone
stairs to the grotto beneath the
Church of the Nativity.
According to tradition, nearly
2,000 years old, the grotto is the
site of the stable where Jesus was
bom when Joseph and Mary could
find no room at the inn.
During the ceremony an
figure of Christ is placed first on
silver star, then in a manger in
wooden crib wL ^re it will re:
until the feast of Epiphany.
On both sides of the Israel-Jor-
dan border, a short distance from
Bethlehem, tent cities are set up
to facilitate border crossing for-'
malities for almost 2,000 Christians
living in Israel and temporary
Christian residents of Israel travel
ing to Bethlehem for Christmas.
The formalities do not take much
time. In one tent, pilgrims get
stamps for their permits; in an
other, their luggage is checked;
finally their money is changed.
Then they cross the border,
Bethlehem-bound, just as was
Mary and Joseph, on a similar
night long, long ago, and just as
are fervent travelers from all parts
of the world in this year of 1955.
Thousands Send Cards
To First Family
Last year some 15,000 Americans
sent Christmas cards to President
and Mrs. Eisenhower.
This number was almost twice
the total received by the Eisen
howers the yerfr before.
About 75 per cent of the senders
wrote personal messages on their
cards last year and most of them
said they were praying for the
First Family.
