Don’t worry if you don’t
plan to use rea in your chosen
decorating theme. You will
have plenty of this familiar
tone supplied by gift wrap
pings, stockings, berries and
seasonal flowers to give bright
color accents in the house.
Carefully plan the effect you
want to achieve before starting.
For instance, it would be an
original and soothing setting
for all the activity and excite
ment, to provide a mood of
peace ana contentment using
blues, whites and metallic
touches.
A theme from the words of
one of your favorite carols
could be expressed through the
creative use of color in your
Yuletide decorations. After you
have decided on a general color
scheme, try to keep hues sim
ple.
THERE is a definite lang
uage of colors; they produce
certain thoughts and feelings,
and understanding a few of
the ideas associated with them
will be useful in your prepar
ations. According to color ex
perts, there is a reason for our
seasonal preference for certain
shades: Bright, warm colors
like orange and red suggest
warmth, gaiety and joy. Green
is associated with hope and
life everlasting. Light, cool
colors of blue, turquoise, and
violet, are calm and serene.
Blue particularly, expresses
restfulness, truth and depend
ability. White means purity,
peace faith and joy. Silver
symbolizes birth, purity, the
Spirit, and the promise of hap
py times; while gold stands
for royalty and power. As
one of the gifts of the Three
Wise Men—Melchior, Balth
asar, and Caspar—gold meant
that Christ was acknowledged
as King of men.
THE FIRST NOEL
No one knows who wrote
"The First Noel”. It first ap
peared in print in 1883 in a
book called "Christmas Car
ols Ancient and Modern”, and
is believed to be very old.
The author of "God Rest
Ye Merry, Gentlemen” also is
unknown, but he lived before
Shakespeare.
NEW YEARS EVE IN SPAIN
A gay New Years Eve cel
ebration takes place in Puerta
del Sol, Madrid’s Time Square.
Twelve grapes are a part
of the celebration. As the
clock strikes midnight the
grapes are held high overhead
and eaten for luck—one for
each month of the year.
Sending wishes
your way for a Christmas
that’s everything you want!
