Early on that important morning we would be awakened by Dad shouting, "Christmas Gift! Christmas Gift! while loudly ringing a cowbell. Thank goodness, he wasnt Scnxigc- - but then, Scrooge didn't huve uny children, did he? That isnt to say my Dad wasn't careful about what was spent on Christmas. In fact, I often think that I remember that about the first of December I would hear Dad saying to Mother, Things are a little tight- - be careful whut you spend this month. But we didn't haveanythingto worry about-could always. depend. pp Santa Claus. There wus always a Christmas Nirty u few days before the big day at the Ward. Kverylxxly went, and there wus u program about the birth of Jesus. I remember that one year Mother lixik the part of Mary, and she lixiked so pretty in a blue shawl over her black hair. A year or so later my Dud hud some responsibility with the program that made it necessary for Mother to take us children alone to the program, und she said we could set him there and all come home together. The Christ-chil- d program went on as usual and we listened to the camls sung hy the choir and the chil we dren, and then the announcement was made that sleigh bells could be heard in the distance.

"Oh, yes Santa, Ive been good, I answered, while I thought, "You should know I have. Later, when all the goodies had been distributed from Santa's pack, and the jolly man had said, "Good night! Ill see you all on Christmas Eve! Be good little boys and girls! and he had vanished out back to his waiting sleigh and reindeer, and the bells had become fainter in the distance- later, here came Daddy asking if we had enjoyed the program and had we seen Santa Claus? As we al 1 went home together, my hand in Daddys, and Santas words ringing-imy ears- - Christmas Gift! Christmas Gift!-- 1 thought it was a most wonderful Christmas.
