Gather up the evergreen boughs
and holly and get the family
around the kitchen table to start
on the Christmas decorations.
There are many attractive cen-
terpices that can be easily made
by children. Let the youngsters be
creative but see that they keep the
centerpieces low enough so guests
can see over it and make it in pro-
th e ! portion to the size ot the table.
An easy, but attractive center-
piece may be made by rolling a
piece of colored paper into a horn
of plenty. Decorate this with a
ribbon, bits of sparkling glitter
and perhaps a sprig of holly. Then
fill it to overflowing with pieces of
fir, pine, spruce, or arborvitae.
Another easy to make centerpiece
requires only a flat square of plas
tic foam, a candle and some ever
green branches. Use the plastic
foam as 1 a candle holder. Force the
candle into the center of the block,
then push the ends of the ever
green branches into the sides.
Keep adding greens to the sides
and top of the foam until it is
completely covered. And red ber
ries for a finishing touch.
A simple door piece may be
made by wiring two-foot boughs of
evergreen together at one end and
adding a cluster of cones and huge
red bow. The cones may be painted
silver, gold, or various colors for
added decoration.
To make a wreath, fasten small
clamps of evergreen together with
soft fine florist’s wire. Bend a
wire coat hanger into a circle and
starting at the hook, wire the
clumps of greens to the hanger.
Place them close enough together
so the hanger is well-covered. Deco
rate the wreath with a water re
pellent bow to cover the hook, and
add red berries, giided cones and
other ornaments.
The result of your labor will be
beautiful Christmas decorations in
which the entire family can t ake
pride because they help to create
them.

Filling Advent Crib
Is Christmas Project
Of FHA Chapter
Filling the Advent Crib is the
Christmas project which the Future
Homemakers have adopted in ful
fillment of the Family Unity ob
jective of the National Future
Homemakers Organization.
This is a project which the FHA
families began on the first Sun
day of Advent — the fourth Sunday
before Christmas. It is a revival of
a custom so old that the modern
world has all but forgotten how
simple and lovely it can be.
In each home a crib has been
prepared. (A decorated shoe box
serves the purpose well.) The chil
dren and adults in the home know
that this represents Jesus’ manger
| and that before His birthday ar
rives it must be filled with straw
so that it will be ready to receive
the Christ Child. Each night after
the evening meal, time is set aside
for the purpose of filling the crib.
Each family member can place a
straw in the crib for each kind deed
he has done that day, after hav
ing explained to the others t hat
kindness he has done.
The FHA advisor believes that
our homes will be happier this
Christmas because of this project
for there will be more than 60
homes in which family members
will be ever conscious of those lit
tle straws and will be doing lit
tle kindnesses which they might
otherwise overlook.
