CHRISTMAS LECTURE . . .
j "Now this li a Christman tree,”
big brother appears to be tell
ing the toddler. "It grows In the !
living room only ones a year,
and it always has a lot of nice
presents under It.”
i Qamet lor c4ll
Make Christmas .
family Party
Christmas la the time for family
get-togethers. One of the best ways
to make thess gatherings memora
ble for all concerned is to engage In
games which the whole group can
play.
A nice one to start off with would
be a Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one
member of the family hide Christ
mas candies ahead of time in vari
ous nooks and comers around the
house. At a given signal everyone
starts hunting and gathering the
pieces. The one who gathers the
greatest number would be given a
prize.
The Christmas Puzzle is another
good one to get things going. Look
through some magazines, which arc
filled with pictures of Santa Claus
at this time of year. Cut out enough
of these to go around, paste them
on stiff cardboard, and cut them
into pieces. Then put each group of
pieces in a separate paper bag At
the signal, everyone opens a bag
and starts putting the puzzle to
gether.
The Xmas Scramble Contest is
good for a group with older children
In It. This is simply a contest to
see who can unscramble a group of
words the fastest. Just for fun, see
if you can work out the following—
astna, erireden, ehsgii, dynca,
goslknct, erte, t-epesn. hupne,
alsorc. and niborb.
If Sanfa Misses,
Reindeer Supply
Will Be al Fault
If Santa Claus misses some young
sters this year, It could be offered
plausibly that he was not able to
round up enough reindeer for his
yearly trip around the globe.
The reindeer shortage has be
come. In recent years, much too
acute. It has been estimated that
wolves have destroyed 500,000 of
Santa’s helpers within the last
decade or so, leaving an approx
imate 50.000.
The difficulty of keeping the ani
mals alive in a temperate climate
makes it unlikely that any of the
few remaining will be transported
■r-F' ✓ '•■ *•
from their native regions to other
lands for the holiday season, as
; has been done in the past.
I American boys and girls will
have to be satisfied with stand-Ins.
The few department stores featur
ing Santa's complete outfit this
i year will be using native deer as
I substitute for Dasher, Praneer, and
company.
Ck>uAtfHtiA,
Did you know that the observ
ance of Christmas was once for
i bidden in England—the home of
the Yule Log. the Carol-singer and
the wassailers?
During the Reformation many
believed the undue Jollity of Christ
mas day was sacrilegious. Parlia
ment, on December 24, 1852, or
dered that "no observance shall be
held of the five and twentieth day
of December, commonly called
Christmas day; nor any solemnity
used or sxercised in churches upon
that day ’u respect thereof."
This ediet proved to be very un
popular with the masses of the
people. It was not until many years
later, however, that Christmas was
•oca again regarded as a holiday
