Christmas Time

- Vii SIllAo uiiS
Christmas is the time of the year
that makes you feel like going up to
an old enemy, slap him on the back
and say, Come on, Bill, shake!
You're almost as big fool as / an"
You talk and act friendly to strang-
ers as if you owed them money
you giggle in crowded cars and laugh
when the car jerks your strap neigh
Dor loose from his pile Of bundles that
settle on your brow.
Even the motorman has a grin on
his mug, and the conductor is polite.
Everybody is full Of the Christmas
spirit and some with the other kind.
Everybody is happy and genial.
Look at the janitor. Even he is
happy and it doesn't hurt (there's a
reason).
The clasp on your potketbook
won't stay shut and the money slips
out easier than a raw oyster OF your
vest.
Well, we've been trying to explain
just how Christmas time makes a
fellow feel, but anyhow 1t makes a
fellow feel so hooie in the filbert and
happy, If he went to see a wrestling
match they'll throw him out for ap-
plauding too loud-there, that ex-
plains it best.
