Choose Your
Business Gift
f ith Core
Probably the hardest gifts to
choose during the holiday season
are those which are necessary as
a result of business relationships.
Following are some basic hints
which might be helpful in the
selection and distribution of busi
ness gifts.
1. Extravagant gifts smack of
bribery. Thus it is often wise to
keep your gifts of modest value
in relation to the importance of
each recipient — whether he be
an employee, prospect or
customer.
2. It is best to choose your
gifts individually, considering the
tastes of each group of recipients,
or preferably, of each individual
recipient.
3. High quality gifts that are
useful, durable, and dependable
are your best choices.
4. If possible personalize each
gift with the recipient’s name or
maybe just initials.
i
5. Package each gift securely
and attractively.
6. A personal note, greeting
card or at least a special gift
label should accompany each
package.
7. If possible deliver each gift
with a “flair” — personally or by
messenger — and preferably to
each recipient’s home rather than
to his office.
The key, then, to such gift-
giving, would seem to be “Mo
deration in good taste.”
Mistletoe Tradition
Is Somewhat Changed
Today, mistletoe is brought
into the house for use as a holi
day decoration. Often, it is stra
tegically placed, because it pro
vides the privilege of a kiss from
any pretty young lass who hap
pens to stand beneath it.
There’s nothing new about this
kissing tradition, except one
thing. There was a time when it
was required a berry be removed
each time a maiden was kissed
beneath the mistletoe. When the
berries were gone, so, too, was
the kissing privilege.
HOLIDAY ROBIN
Today, there are many symbols
we associate with Christmas —
the tree, the Star of Bethlehem,
tinsel, tree lights, the manger
scene, holly, carolers and mistle
toe, among others. Thus it is in
teresting to note that, for some
reason, the robin was often used
as an illustration on cards of the
Victorian era.
SANTA SPOTS
Santa has many homes-away-
from-home and among them is a
building in the foothills of Ver
mont’s Green Mountains where
each holiday season Santa is on
hand to greet folks in the local
community.
The building is set amid pine
trees at Putney, Vermont, and
identified by large letters “S.C.”
on the chimney.
CANDLE CITY
Richmond, Virginnia is build- j
ing a reputation as the “City of
Candlelight” through an annual
loliday program which urges
ocal residents and organizations
;o place an electric candle in the
vindow during the Christmas
icason.
With few exceptions, the en-
ire city cooperates.

Christopher Columbus, credited
with having discovered America,
is also believed to have been re
sponsible for the first Christmas
observance in this part Of the
world.
According to the story, the
flagship Santa Maria beached on
Christmas Eve and Columbus and
his men were forced to work
Christmas day to free the ship by
stripping her of as much gear as
possible and taking it aboard the
Nina.
The Nina, however, was unable
to take all of the men on board
and those who remained behind
in a fort named the spot La
Navidad, in * honor of
Nativity.
the
Christmas in England
The first Christmas in England
is believed to have been observed
in the year 521, at the time King
Arthur was celebrating his vic
tory marking the recapture of
York.
Guests, including the national
heroes, were gathered about the
famous Round.Table where they
feasted to the music of wandering
minstrels.
SH#
INDOOR FUN... Toys this
season are designed to provide
hours of indoor fun for young
sters. In addition to the al
ways popular electric trains,
manufacturers offer a variety
of electric and battery oper
ated toys, including automo
bile sets, complete with vehi
cles, highways and dangerous
intersections.
Holly Subject Of
Many Superstitions
Holly has long been the sub
ject of many superstitions. Some
ancients believed it had magic
charms and would protect them
from dangers. Early Britons con
sidered it unlucky, however, to
bring holly into the house before
Christmas Eve. It was also be
lieved that smooth leaves on the
holly indicated the wife would
“rule” the household during the
year ahead; rough leaves indi
cated the husband would be the
“boss.”
Proper Care Gives
Life To Poinsettia
Should you receive a poinsettia
plant, or purchase one for the
holidays, here are some tips on
proper care of this Christmas
favorite.
Be sure to place the plant in.
a sunny window, well away from
drafts and excessive heat. A mod
erate temperatune of about 70
degrees is recommended.
Examine soil around the plant
twice daily and keep it uniformly
moist. Apply enough water to
wet the soil to the bottom, when
it starts to dry out.
K&i
HARD TO SEE . . . Camou
flaged boy and gun blend in
with surroundings. Guerilla
gun set, completely camou-
flaged, was inspired by Viet
Nam operations.
THE USED CHRISTMAS TREE
You can do several things with
your Christmas tree after you
take it down. One good idea it
to use it as a bird feeder, tying
suet and other treats, with a con
tainer of water placed beneath.
You can also cut off the branch
es and place them, curved end
up, over flower beds when the
ground is exposed. This will pre
vent heaving of soils during al
ternate freezing and thawing.
Such heaving sometimes forces
bulbs and roots of perennials
from the ground.
Longer branches can be “plant
ed” as windbreaks to protect out
door plantings such as boxwood,
azalea, yew, rhododendron and
juniper.
Tot’s Accident Led
To Lights For Tree
Some reports have it that the
“birth” of Christmas tree lights
can be attributed to a little boy
who crawled under his Christmas
tree and turned over a candle
which in turn singed the tot’s
hair.
The child’s father, a telephone
man, decided to do away with
the pandles and replace then
with several dozen switchboard
lamps soldered to wires and cor
ered with brightly colored paper
The end result, then, we>*«
safer brighter lights which rt
placed candles on Christma*
trees.
WHITE CHRISTMAS
Snow scenes are traditional
greeting card subjects and many
times before the holiday arrives
we overhear someone express
the hope that it will be a “White
Christinas.”
It is almost certain, however,
that there was no snow in Beth
lehem on the night that Christ
was born. If anything, there
could have been rain, as Decem
ber 25 falls in the midst of the
rainy season in Bethlehem.
