Show I HUCEMBES r, DECEMBER 2, ASUrtJ In the Eyes of a Child' 'Look at the old ones Mommie and Dad and all of them. They'll be look-ing at me as if they expect me to do something spe-cial. They're all full of smiles and secrets. ... And what is that won-derful big bubble of light hanging on the tree? All gold and blue and beauti-ful ! This must have some-thing to do with that story Grandma's been reading to me every night about little Jesus' birthday and the Star that shone, and the angels that sang . . . I can't take my eyes off the tree! And it smells so good. I never smelled any-thing that smelled so good unless it's the folds in Nanna's apron when I cud- - die in her lap. ' Oh! That tree! How it sparkles! All those things hanging on it Look! There's a little man . . . looks like a gingerbread man! There's cinnamon candies stuck on him like buttons ! Wonder if they'll let me reach up and take him m . . . Nope ! I almost tripped over the wagon. Guess I'd better .stay where I am. Hope they save it for me for later . . . I want to take it and that great big ball on the tree to bed with me tonight ! 1 LeRoy Ash Service s ! j lyyif A 'fyC --XSm7: tewgs 1 Tyf p .

The legend is that candles originally were set out to light the Christ child's way as he made his visits to the chil-dren. One explanation of the custom of hanging stock-ings on Christmas Eve re-calls the baronial halls of ' England where huge fire-places were constantly in use . . . Each Christmas a, special log, the Yule log, was thrown on the fire . . . This log burned steadily as long as the feasting and celebrating continued. Na-- i turally, it burned with a f pungent odor and stock-- i ings were hung over the fireplace to absorb some of this odor and to protect the owners from evil spir- - its. A far cry from the V present custom of loading them with goodies! CHRISTMAS IS A LOT OF LITTLE THUS Christmas is the time of year when nostalgic feel-ings swell up in most of us and we find our hearts turning homeward. The sight of a Christ-mas wreath on a cottage door conveying a message of v elcome or the beauty and warmth of blinking lights on a Christmas tree shining through a living-roo- m window stir up feel-ings of love and compan-ionship. We begin to reminisce and our memories wander down through the years to many Christmas celebra-tions of the past and we find ourselves singling out those which have special significance for us. Almost everyone can re-member a Christmas when they received a toy that was so magnificent you thought you were dream-ing and would wake up any minute. Then when you finally were convinced that it really was yours, you were certain that if Santa Claus felt you deserved such a priceless possession you must be dearly loved. Or perhaps your thoughts meander through memory ' lane to a Noel when your favorite bachelor uncle paid the family an ex-pected visit and arrived laden with all sorts of un-usual and exciting pres-ents. Once again feelings of being loved swell up in you. For Christmas is love, love shown in a hundred little ways. CW,IHC. Christmas is the love of a mother for her family and those dear to her. It's her opportunity to convey this message, the warm and friendly place she makes her home at Christ-mas. Visible signs: The tempting cookies and pies she prepares with loving care . . . the luscious ham or turkey roasting in the oven. All these many little things are Christmas. |
