Christmas is a time of joy
and giving, yet the large family,
in the excitement of the holi
day, family dinners and other
activities, may incur too u eavy
an expense.
Careful thought and plan
ning can make things easier on
the pockethook and reduce the
post-Christmas concern about
overdue bills. Gifts are an im
portant part of the average
family's budget. Most families
spend three and five per cent
of their income on presents. To
avoid running bigger bills than
intended, the family should
keep a running total of the
amount of gifts bought, for
cash, and on credit. And, if
you're paying over a period of
several months, credit charges
should be figured as part of the
cost.
HORN OF PLENTY .... A cor
nucopia filled with candies can
easily be made from construction
paper, masking tape and colored
string.
rrs CHRISTMAS
The French say “Noel”. The
Spanish refer to “Navidad”. The
Italians say “Natale” and the
Germans say “Weihnachten”. But
Christmas in our part of the
world is derived from an old
English term Cristes maesse
(Christ’s Mass), a term first used
in the 11th century.
Make a Wreath
To make a wreath, use a
wire hoop or coat hanger bent
into a circle. Wire pine needles
to the hoop with short pieces
of wire. Add pine needles un
til the foundation wreath is at
least two inches deep. Then
wire on pieces of evergreen
and berries. If the foundation
is firmly made, the evergreen
and berries may be stuck into
the pine needles.
An
Evergreen
Rope
: S ’ * Jt
A rope of evergreens is easy
enough to make, say the experts,
and might go well over your
door frame, mantel or along a
stair rail.
Materials: rope long enough
for your needs, short lengths of
wire (15 to 18 inches), short
sprays of evergreen (cedar is
especially good), balls, bows,
red berries or bells.
Place a bunch of evergreen
against the rope and fasten in
place with wire. Repeat length
of rope. Drape as desired.
Locate places where addi
tional decoration—berries, balls,
bells—would be effective and
wire on.
Fasten decorated rope in
place with tape, tacks, corsage
pins or small nails.
Wire lengths of evergreen to
gether as a spray and decorate
with bells, balls or ribbon.

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.
