CHRISTMAS
wnai, inaeea, is wnrisimas:
Ask a child and he may tell you that it is a time of snow and bright
lights, and Santa Claus and presents under the tree.
Ask a hundred grown-ups and you may get a hundred slightly related
answers, for Christmas is many things to many people.
Bat, for all of us, the happiest memories of childhood are those
associated with the celebration of this great holiday. How easy it is to
'vividly call up scenes of long ago when a happy family gathered by
the* warm glow of an open fireside; to close the eyes to see again the
firaow-covered fields and to hear again the crunching sound of heavy
Shoots plodding through the snow and visualize the little white church
<*ws the hill. In the silence of a darkened room one can so easily revisit
'foal (little church, breathe again the aroma of evergreens and burning j
candles and sense anew the presence that is so obvious in the quiet
•and solemn stillness.
These are the things about Christmas that have not changed and
will not change with the modes and mannerisms of new generations.
These are the things which reflect the spirit of Christmas. It is in the
spirit of love and goodness, of dose communion with God and with
mankind and with it all is mixed a sense of awe at the wonderful
miracle brought into being on that first Christmas night at Bethlehem
si- long ago.
This is the spirit of Christmas, and so it shall remain until the end
time.

May this Yuletide find you
in good health and good
spirits, and leave you with
a rich treasure trove of the
happiest memories.

Hot Punches Gain New |
Holiday Popularity
Hot punches, gaining new popu
larity in America, have never gone
out of favor in England where
punch bowls are a frequent sight,
usually of polished silver to hold
hot brews. These zesty punches
may be mild or glowing.
For mild drinks there is spiced
tea with cloves, cinnamon and nut
meg added before brewing, then
combined with heated fruit juices.
For glowing drinks there is Mulled
Cider, simmered with spices and
served with floating orange sliv
ers: or the traditional Tom and
Jerry, served untraditionally ear
ly, its brandy frothy with egg, and
spiced.
Pinata Is Traditional
In Mexican Observance
Our Mexican friends south of
the border are picking up some of
our holiday traditions and we could
do ourselves a favor by adopting
one of their customs, such as the
'“breaking of the pinata.”
Widely used in Mexico through
out the year, the pinata is busiest
during the Mexican Christmas Fes
tival. The pinata is a fragile earth
en jar which is filled with sweet
meats, trinkets, candies and toys,
then suspended from the ceiling in
In the spirit or Christmas,
we wish our friends and
patrons a happy holiday
season, filled with all the
good things of life.

Each guest is blindfolded, spun
around, and allowed a wtiack at
the pinata with a stick. When it is
finally smashed, all hands rush for
the shower of candies and toys.
