TEA PUNCH . . . Like to offer your holiday guests some
thing a little different when it’s time to pass the punch? Make
it with tea, using your own recipe or the one below.
HOT TEA LEMONADE
(Makes 8-12 servings)
3/4 cup cold water 3 tablespoons loose tea or
3/4 cup granulated sugar 9 bags
2 quarts freshly drawn 12 whole cloves
cold water 1/2 cup lemon juice
Make simple syrup by combining 3/4 cup water and 3/4
cup granulated sugar in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce
heat and simmer 10 minutes. While syrup is simmering, pre
pare tea by bringing two quarts freshly drawn cold water to
a full rolling boil. Immediately, pour water over tea. Let
stand for 3 to 5 minutes. Strain into a chafing dish or other
serving container. Add simple syrup, cloves and lemon juice.
To serve, place a lemon slice speared with an additional whole
clove in each cup and fill with tea.
GIFT FOR MOTHER
Mom may need a floor waxer
—but Christmas is not the time
to give it to her. No matter how
practical she may be, mom would
much prefer to receive something
frivolous — something she
wouldn’t ordinarily buy for her
self. It need not be expensive
like mink or diamonds, even
though they’re always nice. A
tiny vial of utterly extravagant
perfume is a likely winner. So
is a be-ribboned or be-frilled
house coat — and maybe oodles
and oodles of delicious-smelling
bubble bath.
COLONIAL CHRISTMAS
Little is recorded in the his
tories of Christmas in Colonial
Times. This is because the his
tory is more often concerned
with wars and politics. The col
onists in Virginia, Maryland
and Georgia brought over the
English customs whereas in
New York, New Jersey, Pen
nsylvania, and Delaware, the
customs came from Holland,
Sweden, and Germany. The
quakers near Philadelphia did
not observe holidays, and in
New England, the whole idea
of Christmas was frowned
upon.

CHRISTMAS HYMN
The first Christmas hymns with
the traditional light tone were
born in Italy among the early
Franciscan monks. A more se
rious work, “Jesus Refulsit Om
nium”, (Jesus, Light of All the
Nations), is the earliest known
Christmas hymn. It was written
by Saint Hilary of Poitiers in the
4th Century.
VIETNAM
CHRISTMAS

For more than one hundred
Vietnamese orphans, Christmas
1964, will always be remem
bered as a memorable event.
It was made so by the officers
and men of the 145th Aviation
Battalion commanded by Lieu
tenant Colonel Robert K. Cun
ningham of Montgomery, Ala.
For weeks the men had been
working toirard the day when
old Santa would arrive in Sai
gon, South Vietnam and they
could have a party for the or
phans they sponsor. For many
of the children it was a new
experience, but one that would
last a lifetime.
The youngsters arrived -on
the scene singing “Jingle Bells"
in English, although most of
them neither speak nor under
stand the language. They were they would spend the day.
