Let Children Kelp
Prepare for Holiday
Children learn the real meaning
Christmas when you let them
participate in preparations and ac
tivities.
Making gifts for someone special
i* a project that even a three-year
cld can do. Children can fill pretty
jars with sand to make attractive
doorstops. They can make clove
apples to add spice to handker
chief drawers. Even their simple
drawings make gifts that parents
cherish.
Baking cookies and making
Christmas decorations also put
children in spirit of things. And
even small children can string
popcorn and cranberries for tree
•trimmings.
Deeper Meaning
Making Christmas cards show?
children that there is more to the
cards than the actual sending. You
particularly want friends to know
you are thinking of them at Christ
mas time, and children can learn
this early.
Music is a part of Christmas and
effers another opportunity to put
meaning into the holiday for chil
dren. who enjoy singing.
Mistletoe Subject of
Hany Controversies
The mistletoe, alternately a sym
t»ol of good and evil, has a contro
versial background. Known today
ms a criminal killer of forests, it is
still used as a symbol of love,
^peacemaking and goodwill.
According to legend, this is how
the mistletoe became a symbol of
’love: The ancient Scandinavian
’light god. Balder, so the myth
goes, was killed by Loki with a
mistletoe arrow after the beloved
'fielder's mother had evoked a
I jomise from all other living
'things that they would not harm
t»tr son. Balder was restored to
life by the intercession of other
gods who entrusted the mistletoe
plant to the goddess of love and
she ordained that henceforth any
one passing beneath its bough
should receive a kiss in token of
love, not vengeance. Held high,
the mistletoe would never again
lb* evil.
No Observance
The Puritans of Mass, bay col
*r,y had a law that imposed fines
for observance of Christmas and
<T*ov. Bradford once issued a state
iment publicly ridiculing certain
young men who declined to work
<w Dec. 25, “ye day called Christ
mas.”

Holiday Decoration*
Instead of the conventional
wreath on the outside of your dooi
why not string some bells and trei
ornaments on narrow baby ribboi
and hang from a huge red bow?
Make your door and window
frames bright and cheerful bj
framing them with ribbon and
sprigs of holly. Hang the ribbon ir
festoons across the curtains and tie
at the sides in wide sash bows foi
colorful effect.

BULGARIAN HOLIDAY
New Year’s Day is a great day
for Bulgarian children who receive
their presents and small sums ol
money in return for the gifts they
ceremoniously present
Teen-agers go visiting, and wish
ing neighbors a happy New Year,
expect treats and refreshments
But unlike our ‘trick or treat" ol
Halloween, should the supply ot
goodies run short, the situation is
accepted graciously
Pe
Cirismas
<<When they saw the
star, they rejoiced with
exceeding great joy.”
May the radiance
of Christmas shine
upon you as upon the
Wise Men of yore.
