The holiday doe not start until 6 oclock in the afternoon, but the whole day is filled with excitement a the last preparations are made. The small birds always get extra food, because it is cold and it is bard for them to find enough food themselves. We save some sheaves from the harvest and put them up in tree in the orchard and outside the barn with a few branchea of spruce so it will be like a Christmas tree for them. It is fun to sit and watch them as ' they gather in the sheaf to eat the grain. Even people in the towns keep this custom up. They give the birds a little meat or fat, or they buy a sheaf of oats and put it up outside their house. We eat dinner in the night of that day, and at noon" we eat something that could be compared with a very rich, clear soup with broken ban-noin it. Father usually cut the Chrismtas tree the day before Christmas Eve and the next morning it is brought in and decorated. We decorate it with a star in the1 top, just like I American trees, but we put Norwegian flags on it also x ,y and in our family we use candles instead of electric lighta. When the tree is decorated, we ail wait for the church bells to ring Christmas in. . We live far awsy from the church, so we have to go out and stand still and listen carefully to be able to hear them. They ring for half an hour. Then we can feel that it is Christmas. First e eat dinner. It consists of pork meat with aour cabbage and the traditional homemade ale and for dessert cloudberries with cream. Before we leave the table we read in the Bible, in Luke, about the birth of Christ and we sing a certain old hymn. Afterwards we go around the Christmas tree and sing carols until it is time for Santa Claus to come. Though there are no small children in our family, father still dresses up as Santa Claus and comes carrying a big sack with all the gifts. After we have received the gifts, we go to bed. The next morning we go to chuich and stay home the test of the day. Then on the 26th we start with parties and often keep going until January 13.

One father, who has both a fourth and a fifth grader in Mrs. Nixons class, John S. Garcia, furnished pieces of plywood, cut to just the right dimensions, for hot plate pads.

These and many other gifts will appear under Christmas trees next Friday morning, to delight parents, all made with the loving hands of children in the various classrooms at Verdeland and all the other schools throughout the county. - When they meet with an obstacle, mount A wink of his eye and a twist of his head, Soon gave me to know I had nothing to to the sky, dread.
