n \ Versatile Egg Cartons Can Be Decorative gi Don’t throw away those egg cartons - make decorations, the designs are fun, attractive and inexpensive. Materials needed: scissors, white glue, gold spray paint, old jewelry, beads, glitter, clothespins and small Christmas balls. Remember the secret of cutting egg cartons is to moisten with a fine spray of water, cut the carton while wet and let dry before you glue.

These extras always put us over the limit on what we should spend, and this kind of buying probably has a lot more to do with our childhood than it does with our children. Examine our ideas about what children should be given at this time and remember that small children have very little concep tion of how much they should get for Christmas or what it costs. What we do the first few years of their lives, in this respect, will establish a pattern that we’ll want to live up to. We are better off with a simple start.

Might have a pot of coffee ready too. MAGIC GIFTS The gifts brought by the Wise Men all had magical associations: gold for the sun mystery, frankincense as the smoke-maker, and myrrh, the healer.
