GAMES FOR TWO . . .
Gaines two youngsters can
play together make ideal holi
day gifts. Among such games
are a Naval Battle game which
creates a mock sea battle for
young Naval enthusiasts.
General Grant Tree
Among Most Famous
One of the most most famous
Christmas trees is the General
Grant tree, located in General
Grant National Park, 64 miles
east of Fresno, California. This
tree was designated the official
national Christmas tree for
Christmas Day, 1025.
The General Grant tree is esti
mated to be about 270 feet high
and services are held under the
tree each year. Due to severe
weather conditions usually prev
alent in the area, however, the
number of visitors is somewhat
limited.

TOYS CAN TEACH . . . Toys
are for fun, but there’s nothing
wrong with a little learning. A
popular gift for boys is an elec
trical engineering set.
KEEP THE CHRISTMAS
Christmas is essentially a re
ligious holiday, so church ac
tivities should be an important
part of holiday planning. The
homemaker who entertains
during the holidays can plan
ahead and prepare foods which
will require little last minute
attention. Buffet serving is
recommended for large groups
as if can be informal and eas
ily done.
IN FRANCE
Public Christmas trees are not
so popular in France as in Amer
ica, although they are found in
many French homes, usually or
namented with candles and lights,
tinsels and colored stars. Also
popular is the traditional manger
scene—small figures arranged in
a fashion that characterizes the
story of the Nativity.
CHRISTMAS COOKIES
Add sparkle to Christmas
cookies the easy way. Roll out
sugar or ginger cookie dough
as directed and then sprinkle
evenly with white or colored
sugar, pressing it in slightly
with a rolling pin. Cut out de
sired shapes and bake the
cookies.
THE WASSAIL BOWL
“Wassail” derives from two Old
English words, “waes” and “hale,”
meaning “Be well.” It was the
custom in ancient England for
the host to hand a new guest a
cup of the beverage (a mixture
of beer, spices and fruit juices)
and say, “Waes hael!” In return,
the guest bowed, touched his cup
to the host’s, and replied “Drink
hale!” or “Drink in health.”
JERUSALEM CHERRY
Flowering plants are ideal for
Christmas and one of the more
brilliant and less expensive pot
plants is the Jerusalem cherry.
Its round, red fruit is especially
appropriate for the holiday sea
son. It needs bright light and
likes a cool temperature, no
higher than 55 degrees at night
for best results—although it does
admirably even with a 65 degree
night temperature. If the plant Is
allowed to wilt, or if cooking gas
fumes fill the air, the fruit will
drop.
TREE IDEA
An idea that appears to be
gaining in popularity is that of
decorating a live tree with its
roots wrapped in burlap. The
tree can be kept fresh through
out the holidays, then planted
outdoors.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU
Four little words. . . spoken each Yuletide by generation after
generation through the years. . . are as strong and warm as they
were when first spoken. Repetition has not dulled their meaning, and
a hundred years from now they will express the same joy and gratitude
and warmth as they do today. We are proud to offer them:
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU

'...the glory

shone 'round

The trees stand like mute sentries, shouldering their burden of snow.
No creature stirs, no wind whispers, no twig snaps, no bird calls. ,
Silently, heart to heart, may Man experience like communion this Christmastime.
