Phone C. E. Alsop The Edifforioill per year 484-14- 41 Editor Pge the proverbial (annual) Christmas parties are in the planning stages, or, are ready to go. Dates are set and invitations have been extended to those who will attend the various for functions. Businesses usually provide custom of many customers to continue the good-wi- ll fun and excitement for years. Private parties provide invited guests, exciting programs are provided to make sure everyone has a good time and the spirit of Xmas very much in evidence. This certainly is the way it should be. Hosever, during the planning stage of many parties, too many of the planners have an idea that liquor, beer and cigarettes must be a pertinent part of the tasty menus usually provided. Never realizing that young people attending these parties may succum to the inevitable example set by adults at these parties the planners should accept full responsibility and see that the invited guests are of legal age. For any adult to admit that he can never have a good time at a Xmas party unless he is allowed to imbibe freely of alcoholic drinks and lounge in a smoke saturated room is an insult to human intelligence, and certaining desic rates the spirit of ChristMERRY CHRISTMAS CLASSIFIED open-hou- se I The barren trees stand by the highways, the snow hasn't melted , from the shadows, and It's blanket weather at night. Christmas must be near. Christmas - - the time of the mall rush and the Post Office bog - down; the time of crowded stores and sorry, we are out of that Item", the time of buying a twenty five cent Jewelry pin and spending a dollar getting It gift wrapped; the time of the Christmas Eve rush to of the all might market to get that last almost forgotten present; and the time of the mad dash to Grand Central on December 26th to get the gift for that forgotten friend, or to exchange that gift which really was't wanted. Christmas has changed. It has become the ultimate means used to keep up with the Jonses." How often are gifts chosen according to their price and not according to what they are? How often must that five or ten dollars be spent before the conscience Is salved? How often are gifts given as a means of corporate Image" and not In order to just plain give? The way we have begun to celebrate Christmas seems to Imply that Christ was born In a shopping center. We have moved from the beautiful slmpllcty of Christ's birth to the tinsel of the Christmas Tree and the mad dance of shoppers to the plped-l- n tune of I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas." Indeed, we have changed the white Christmas to a green Christmas. A Christmas celectrated In the heart has been supplanted by a Christmas celebrated In the wallet. As we have changed Thanksgiving to Turkey Day, so have we changed Christmas to Present Day. The spokesman of slmpllcty and reality In religion, the very Son of God, has given way to the Santa Clause who Indiscriminately gives to all, to the good and the bad alike. (What little child has been given coal or a switch or nothing for being bad?) Is not wrong to give; Indeed this Is one of the most proper times of the year to give, what better tme Is there to give than on the day we celebrate the birth of the Savior of the World? - - the person who has given us the greatest gift of all the gift of Eternal Life. Let's celebrate Christmas this year In the right way. Let's give, but let's keep this giving In perspective.
