Anticipating Santa Claus

Christmas even in its most sordid
form of observance-even in its
simple exchange system of gift
giving. Suppose the gifts given
were all merely a form of ex-
change-a give and take. Would
it not be far better to exchange
than not to give at all?
Let us for the moment forget
that there has been any thought
or any discussion of the merits of
Christmas and let us face the
fact that
Christmas Is Coming
and let US make our preparations
for it's observance i'm the most
lavish way and in the broadcast
spirit. Let us begin to do the
buying early. Let us begin max
ing little gifts and big ones by
hand. Let us settle on the gifts to
be given to aunty and mother
and baby and the rest. Let us
begin right now.
Surely an early beginning will
add to the pleasures of your holi-
day aso Begin now!
