TO SEE CHRISTMAS
Open Up Your Heart And Mind
Sights and sounds tell us that Christmas is near.
Mistletoe and evergreen in doorways and windows
. . . Christmas cards and the sound of the postman at
the door . . . street-corner Santas and the aroma of
good food from the kitchen . . . toys in store windows
and the sound of music wherever we go; these are the
sights and the sounds of Christmas.
We must look beyond these obvious trappings of the
season to really see Christmas ... to realize the mira
cle of Christmas. We must see Christmas through our
heart and mind.
Christmas, as the birthday of Christ, marks the an
niversary of mankind's greatest heritage. This heritage,
manifested in the life and death of Christ upon earth,
brings into perspective with unassuming dignity and
finality the realization that God has bestowed upon
mankind the inalienable right to merit eternal salvation.
So great is this heritage that despots, dictators and
disbelievers have come and gone for generations, and
while they have attacked, oppressed and persecuted the
miracle of Christmas, its simple truth has held strong
and firm in the hearts and the minds of mankind.
The miracle of Christmas is the world’s one, single
dominating influence, the simple affirmation of man’s
heritage and dignity.
Open up your heart and mind — and see the miracle
of Christmas.
FIREPROOFING
Christmas costumes and
paper or cloth decorations
can be flame-proofed by dip
ping them into the following
solution, wringing them by
hand and allowing them to
dry: 3 quarts water, 7 oz.
borax, 3 oz. boric acid.
CHRISTMAS
IN THE SUN
The Christmas season at
winter resorts means lots of
sunshine and no snow. This is
strange to tourists, however the
natives have a special flair
for celebrating the Yultide.
Special dinners, festivals and
other activities are a part of
the Christmas celebration.
We pray that the joy
and peace which was
given to the world at
His Birth will abide
in your heart forever.

HOGMANAY
In Scotland, New Year, or
Hogmanay, is the great festival
of the year, far exceeding
Christmas in importance.
Many explanations have been
suggested for the name "Hog
manay”. It has been variously
derived by scholars from
French, Greek, Norse or
Spanish words connected with
the season, but no general
agreement on the subject has
been reached yet. Whatever the
true origin of its name, the
feast itself reigns supreme
throughout Scotland, and is an
nually celebrated by cheerful
customs and merrymaking.
TIME'S MARCH
The New Year is born at the
starting point of time, the Ad
miralty’s date line, near the
Chatham Islands in New Zea
land. From this point, the line
curves east and west of the
180th meridian in such a way
that it lies always in the ocean.
Leaving the islands, the New
Year moves to Australia, Asia,
K u r o pe and m o s t of So u t h
America before it reaches Amer
ican shores at Maine. It takes
three more hours for it to reach
California.
GREETINGS
stay ever-green, now and always!
