Toys, of course, are the first
thin^ we think of when w'e start
running down the list of young
folks on our gift list. For the very
young, thac is. When we start de
ciding what to give to the pre-
teen and early teen set, we have
to use a bit of imagination—as
well as a bit of realistic thinking.
Too often, we overlook the won
derful world of books.
To the impressionable young
ster, good books open the door
to adventure, travel, mystery, to
endless hours of entertainment,
recreation and education.
Books are easy to select and
give. All one must know is the
age, reading ability and capacity,
and Interests of the youngster for
whom the gift is intended. While
books are ageless, youngsters are
not; they have their own individu
al likes and dislikes and a book
on a subject in which they are not
interested would be as useless to
them as a shirt four sizes too big.
The same is true if the subject
matter of the book is “too old”
or “too young.” There is no such
thing as a book for youngsters
“6 to 16.” The age span is too
wide and the diversity of inter
ests will be even wider.
s
Buy Wisely
Some well-intendLug persons
buy books or book sets for the
school-age as gifts for infants,
thinking they are purchasing a
“lasting” gift. Actually, they are
wasting their money. If the books
are not torn or misplaced by the
time the child is old enough to
read and appreciate them, most
likely the information contained
in the books is outdated.
Books for youngsters are writ
ten for a select age group—not for
a select age. At 13, two boys may
have entirely different reading
tastes—as well as reading abili
ties.
Books make excellent gifts for
persons of all ages. But, like a
glove or a shoe, they must “fit”
the recipient if they are to be
fully appreciated.
SEEING SANTA . . . Visiting
Santa to inform him in advance
of the things to put under the
tree is a yearly tradition just
about everywhere. Santa iS a
kingly, big man—sometimes, it
seems, too big for the very
young, especially if mommy
happens to get more than a
couple of feet away. Santa,
stout-hearted fellow that he is,
seems to take it all in stride.
Just part of a day’s w r ork, you
know.
RESTING ... We aren’t sure
whether this is before or after—
whether Santa is resting up for
the big job that he will have
this Christmas night d’stribut-
ing toys and goodies to little
children everywhere; or, per
haps, he is still tired out from
last year’s ordeal. At any rate,
it is a safe bet that he will be on
his toes when Christmas Eve
rolls around a ui, in the hush of
the night, make his merry way
to most every home in towTi.
Happiness is not a station you
arrive at, but a manner of travel
ing.

The postmarks, “Christmas,
Fla.” and “Santa Claus, Ind.” are
veil known in the United States,
as thousands of Amei leans like
to send their holiday gifts to
others bearing seasonal post
marks. But, other countries have
such holiday mailing centers, too,
and a typical one is the “Christ-
kinda” (Christ Child) Post Office
in Austria.
Since it was established 11 years
ogo, the Christkindl Post Office
has enjoyed great popularity in
side the country and out. It is a
special post ®ffice, open to the
public only between December 6
and January 6 each year. AH
mail is cancelled with a special
slogan. The office handles about
797,000 letters and packages a
year, many of which are sent
^-oad.
Keep the following points i
mind when decorating your hom
for the yule season.
1. Include some symbol of th-
season in your decoration plans.
A Nativity scene would be ideal.
Have some kind of religious deco
ration or your decorations will be
incomplete.
2. Encourage your children to
help in the decorating.
3. Fresh flowers such as
blooming pcinsettias add that ex-
*tra something, to your Arrange
ments.
4. All decorations should har
monize.
5. Keep them simple.
Today is the day of commercial
ization and advertising. Through
out the year we are bombarded
with ads and promotions of one
kind or another proclaiming the
merits of everything from shoe
laces to $10,000 autos. Everybody
has something to sell and Christ
mas is the biggest selling season
of all
In our efforts to buy and sell,
we tco often lose sight of the true
meaning of Christmas. We seem,
some of us, to forget who’s birth
day it is. Evidence for this can
be found in > tht word “Xmas.”
It’s easier to say, and much easier
to write on an ad layout or sign.
However we are not celebrating
X's birthday. Who was. or i j “X?”
Put the “Christ” back into Christ
mas.
