O. W.’s, 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. Elizabeth Cooper, County H. D. Agent 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.
