Some cookies are for Santa, of course. Others are for
holiday nibbling and snacks, the quantity of which is prob
ably without equal.
Some of the special joy of Christmas can be traced to the
kitchen! This would not be as festive an occassion without
the fragrance of holiday cookies or the happy hustle of
getting them ready.
Put some cookies aside for carolers and tree trimmers.
Decorate some with ready made icings as well as colorful
sugars.
The following is an especially good sugar cookie, for
eating and decorating.
4 cups sifted enriched flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder,
3/4 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 cup lard, one and
3/4 cups sugar, 2 eggs beaten, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 2
tablespoons milk. Form the dough in a ball and chill 3 to 4
hours. Roll on floured board to 1/8 inch thick. Cut with
various shaped cookie cutters, bake on a greased cooky
sheet. These are really good — Do shake some plain white
sugar over some of them — yummy.

England hangs on to her
customs, and the small-fry
pin their stockings to the
fireplace on Christmas Eve
much as American young

“Father Christmas” fills
them in time-honored tradi

Mexico focuses its atten
tion on the Christmas sea

memorating the Nativity
from December 16 to De
cember 26th. During this
period nearly everyone acts
out the Nativity scene, or
at least sets up a creche in
miniature, as well as on a
grand scale. On the tenth
day, the Christ Child is
added.

There was a time when
Christmas was celebrated
differently in various parts
of the world. However, in
this atomic-jet age, dis
tances have shrunk and the
symbols of the Yuletide
Season have become for the
most part, international.

“Posada” means inn or
lodging and carries with it
Joseph’s request for lodging
for himself and Mary. In
many regions, an actual
procession is enacted—with
a “Joseph” and a “Mary”
mounted on burros seeking
shelter, asking for help
through a song entitled
“Letania.” Despite all this
tradition which is clung to,
Santa Claus and the U.S.

fast making inroads on cus
