Show THURSDAY. DECEMBER 23. 1976 PLEASANT GROVE REVIEW, PLEASANT GROVE UTAH THURSDAY DFOFMBER 23. 1976 Tempting scent to holiday candles You have only to light a candle to fill your home with the tempting smells of holiday fare. Cranberries, gingerbread, nut bread waft through the air whetting family appetites. Hollyberry and fresh pine scented can-dles add to natural greenery and give an elegant touch to a mantle or dinner n?r.d!p rft".7" available, add to the festive mood of Christmas. To make candles last through the holiday season here are some suggestions: Tapers on a dinner table should be at lip or chin level. The soft glow is flat-tering to all. When blowing candles out hold your finger in the hot wax from spat-tering. Scratching through the outer layer of wax with your fingernail, will re-lease additional fragrance from scented candles. Store candles by laying them flat in a dark, dry place. For slow and even burning, place candles in refrigerator overnight be- - Mistletoe for Luck Today, mistletoe is hung in doorways at holiday time. Kissing beneath it brings good luck to those fortunate enough to meet there. In ancient times, it was believed that mistletoe had more control over luck, good and bad. A bit of mistletoe hung over a doorway was said to ward off evil. A later belief held that mistletoe boughs hung for Christmas had to be re-moved by Candlemas Eve (February 1), or each leaf would bring forth a goblin to harass the household for the rest of the year. THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS Everyone gets into the act at this favorite Christ-mas party. Invite dear friends and relatives for a heart-warmin- g evening for all. The hostess heaps bas-kets with ribbons, popcorn, colored papers and cello-phane, foil, seals, bells, col-ored yarns, scissors, glue, whatever. Each one makes ornaments from whatever suits his or her fancy, and then uses them to trim the tree. Prizes can be awarded for the funniest, prettiest, or cleverest ornament. After light refreshments, guests take home one or two of their creations for their own tree.

What a beautiful quotation. This phrase holds special meaning to mothers. A child, a beautiful child with all the opportunities that we can provide. I believe that all mothers begin marriage and motherhood with storybook dreams of getting married and living happily ever after. Soon realization sets in and we find that our wedded bliss is often interrupted by bills and broken faucets. When we become mothers we have great expectations. We have images of golden children who are athletic, scholarly, honest, virtuous. Our child will be the most popular child in school, of course, and will have beautiful hair and straight teeth. Oh, the rude awakenings along life's path. Long ago our dream bubble burst when Prince Charming turned out to be just another hard working guy who had to learn to tote the barge and pay the bills. Then all illusions vanish when our Johnny isn't Mr. All American and Susie isn't Miss Per-sonality. They're kids, just like most everyones kids, they have their problems and we are tormented trying to help them. Perhaps the time has come, or will come, to look into the heart of thisa unruly often untidy gift. This child who often disappoints you and that you can't hold up as an example, as mothers might hold theirs. As mothers we must look deep within the child that has been given to us, and we must see the inner glow, the beautiful spirit that is within. This whose outward appearance is less than saintly. This child that is often defiant and sometimes sad. Listen and look lor the joy that this child has to offer, the humor, the special talents and abilities. A dear friend once said, "Mary, I wish you peace of mind this Christmas." What a beautiful thought. Of all the gifts that might be given, wouldn't this gift be ap-propriate for everyone? Especially to mothers. So this is my wish to each of you, "Peace of mind this Christmas time." |
