For Everyone
The Spirit of Christmas Lingers Long
Again it is Christmas, and for those with
eyes to see there is joy in the world about
us. There is a certain feeling in the air, there
is a warm stirring within our individual
hearts.
Christmas is but one day, although the
most magnificent and eventful day in the
history of man’s life upon this earth. Yet,
with the monotonous march of the seasons,
only Christmas comes so early and lingers
so long.
It begins, perhaps, sometime in November
when youngsters begin to count the days
and mind their manners. It seems much
nearer when schools and churches begin re
hearsing holiday pageants and planning
holiday decorations.
Should snow fall in early December,
everyone becomes more aware of the ap
proaching holiday. There’s a bit of a spring
in every step, a happy ring to the voices we
hear.
The gradual quickening of heart and spirit
becomes full-blown with the arrival of
Christmas Eve. With the passing of gifts
and greetings and the observance of family
traditions, we gratefully accept the oppor
tunity to return in heart and spirit to Beth
lehem. In silence we may sit again in the
church by the side of the road and find our
heart filled with joy and gladness.
And, come what may, we feel we shall not
soon forget THIS Christmas Day.
MONEY GIFT
What does the bank official con
sider the perfect gift? Money,
of course. Last year a Maryland
bank sold money birds, money
corsages, money by the inch and
by the pound, money in buckets
and money trees. Other special
ties included Bit-O-Money — mon
ey packaged as a candy bar;
Cold Cash—money mounted in an
ice cube sealed in a plastic box;
and a Money Magic Magician’s
Kit—directions for performing
six magic tricks with money.
was a German refugee who had
established a successful busi
ness selling visiting cards, busi
ness advertisements and an
nouncements, both in Boston
and in England.
Prang commissioned work
from American artists Elihu
Vedder, Douglas Volk and J.
Alden Weir. All have been for
gotten, but each was a fine art
ist.
HERB GIFT
If you grow your own herbs,
you can make an unusual gift
by wrapping small amounts of
dried herbs in cheese cloth
squares. Each square should pro
vide enough seasoning for one
use—such as a pot of soup or
for salad dressing.

SHOP AND SAVE
Starting your Christmas shop
ping early is an excellent way to
save money. The early bird has
time to do comparison shopping
and find the store which gives
best value for least money. Last-
minute shoppers have a tendency
to take the first thing they see,
regardless of cost or value.
IN EDINBURG
Enormous crowds gather
outside the Tron Church, in
Edinburgh, on New Year’s
Eve, to wait for midnight. As
soon as the clock strikes twelve
there is an outburst of shouted
good wishes, handshakes,
toasts, and reels danced to the
wild music of bagpipes.
Merry Christmas to ill!
