Folks come from far and wide each year to view the Christmas decorations at New York’s famous Rockefeller Center and |p attend the annual Candlelight Concerts held beneath the famous trr» shown in the center of the photo- WHAT ABOUT AFTER CHRISTMAS? What happens the day after Christmas? Is the spirit of Christmas spent” in lavish preparation and antici pation, enjoyed but briefly, then thrown aside with the wrapping paper and colored ribbon? What happens the day after Christmas? Does one breathe a deep sigh and inwardly say, *Tm glad that it’s over for another year”? If this happens, then certainly we are not “keeping the Christ mas.” The Spirit of Christmas is superficial. Our Christmas symbols and ornaments, many of them pagan in their origin, are only deco rative trappings for creating a festive spirit. wss ' m gi m SECTION ^ C—PAGE ONE It Is Real But Christmas is not superficial. Christmas is READ. And so must observance of the holiday be REAL, and not the mere matter of observing customs and practices as a matter of conformity. The glitter is gone from evergreens and holly wreaths on the day after Christmas. The tree suddenly becomes old and drops its needles upon the carpet. No longer does the bright figure of Santa adorn the mantle or doorway; it simply hangs there, bereft of glamour and stirring little anticipation. It Has Meaning Unless we have “kept the Christmas” in preparations for, and observance of Christmas Day, then we have observed a meaningless holiday. This year, let us keep the Christmas in a spirit that will keep the profound meaning of the holiday deep in our hearts for the remainder of the days after Christmas. As we observe the Christmas, we must find time to meditate upon the great reality—that upon this day Christ tfas bom, bringing to all mankind the promise of eternal salvation. This is the message of Christmas and the secret to the successful keeping of Christmas for ever and ever. h m * T? 55-, 2 ( i \^^|I \ v v \ \ ' / 2 2 This wish, Santa framed for you, Spells out Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, too! &2£&E2S2£ Black’s Radio & TV Service l 1409 Main Street Phone 1082 t Newberry, S .C. * i >’:-W * € We & sparkling.
