Choirs and carols are an important part of each Christmas observance and the famous Bojr’s Town Choir of fifty voices each year presents a stirring program of Christmas music. Of all the world’s h lidays, Christmas is the holiday that belongs to one and all. Christmas is for everyone, the sad and the weary, the sick and the infirmed, the happy children and their more serious elders. Yes, Christmas belongs to no one alone. Men of different nations and diversified beliefs always share a certain unity in the observance of this greatest of all holidays. Christmas, and the spirit that goes with it, belongs to us all. Christmas is a time of excitement for the very young. It means good food, bright lights, an inviting pyramid of presents beneath a glittering tree. ' _ ' Christmas is likewise a time of joy for those who are growing up. And for these Christmas begins to take on a deeper and hiore significant meaning with each holiday. Behind the laughter and festiv ities, the caroling and presents, there is borne the realization that there is yet greater joy in the holiday, though the glitter of Santa Claus becomes dimmer year by year. For others, Christmas is a magic mirror of memories, a mirror that dissolves all the prejudice, hate and sorrow to which mankind is afflicted; a mirror that reflects only the kindness and goodness God wished for the world He created. Christmas is all these things, and more. It is the shadow of a church steeple in the winter’s snow; a pointed ray of light shining through a stained glass window; the crunch, crunch of heavy footsteps on crusted snow; and voices singing in the night. Christmas is all things to all men; and to all men it is the xhlning symbol of man’s continual hope for eternal.salvation. ■ " ■ ' X X X X 8 8 X X X X X X X X X X X X X «<cic<c«te««cire«wctctc<e<c«eiKteic*c«tcieiraeict€tc4c«c«ctctc<c««t(««ftc«c*ctci(ic 1 V V X X X X I 5 X X X X X 9 X X X X X X X X X X X X X % i X X X X X X 1 X X s X i X X X s $ $ 0 ur thanks to you for being such good friends to our firm — to each of you a . warm and friendly wish for the happiest of all holiday seasons — Merry, Merry Christmas!
