Show Says Utah Safety Council . Play it safe with Christmas lights, candles, Christmas trees, ornaments Lighted candles and Christmas tree lights are potential fire hazards, says the Utah Safety Council. Consider the fact that J$' Window On Main Street i f by Mariann Gibson ( Do we ever really get caught up during the Holiday Season? Sometimes, in the midst of shopping, baking and addressing holiday greetings, we still manage to find time to decorate the tree, attend a party, or two, and perhaps join in the singing of a few Christmas carols. Its not as though we didnt have "plenty" of advance notice. After all we get thrust into the Christmas season, even before we get a chance to finish our Halloween candy. The fact is, that during the last few days, before Christmas, the pace quickens and activities seem to fill each day. Sometimes we get so involved, that we wonder where did the time go, it can't be Christmas id ready. " Dont look now, but there are only seven shopping days left till Christmas morning. To appreciate the holidays, a little bit more, here is an idea for some quiet family fun; take the family out for a liesurely drive around town, after dark, to see some of the beautifully decorated homes. Some folks make genuine effort to create a colorful Christmas fantasy on their homes and in their yards. And lets not forget our "local" merchants who make an extra special effort to fill their shelves with a variety of items to tempt the Christmas shopper. The stores are festively decorated to add to the spirit of the season. And isnt it great to have this selection right here in town, to save us a frustrating trip "up north" to fight the crowded cities and foggy freeways? Their effort is most appreciated. Now that Christmas is almost here let us not forget the most precious gifts of all, ourselves. Thats right, ourselves. We are a source of countless ways of giving; a smile, a kind word, a helping hand, and unselfish gesture or deed, or just a little of our time. These are the gifts that truly reflect the spirit of Christmas. h(ow is the time to be more than generous. Have a very Merry Christmas. meg If you are anxious for a change in the weather, or perhaps some snow for Christmas, fear not, for if past experience continues in its routine we should have some snow very soon because my mother is coming from California to spend Christmas in Nephi. For some reason she seems to bring a drastic change in the weather with her, be it snow or frigid temperatures. Now I dont blame her, after all we do need some snow, but since she does NOT enjoy cold weather it inevitably hits upon her arrival. Who knows, maybe well get a big surprise, this year, and have a break in routine. meg I'll 1 l' IPWM extinguished when one if 'one is not already bulb fails to operate, ob- th&re.
