BIG POST-HOLIDAY BAWL
SLATED FOR DECEMBER q
(By the Occasional Visitor)

tBy tne OccaSlOnal NlSltOf)
Well, Christmas was great day
in Colville-and every other place
The day after wasn't so bad, either.
You can always crawl around under
the Christms tree and devour tough
little nubbins of popcorn off the
carpet. Sometimes there is a hither-
to non-edible gum drop still left in
the candy sack you got at Sunday
school. December 26 is great
cleanup day, SO to speak.
But December 27, the day after the
day before yesterday, that is the day
Nothing tastes just right. You have
queer feeling in your head and
another in your stomach. You hate
everybody. You weep savagely if
anyone looks at you. You quarrel
with Bud and Sister and finally slap
the baby.--Then mother gets out the
castor oil bottle, and you know the
worst.
BY tomorrow you will gaze
thoughtfully at the sparkly things at
the tip-top of the tree and speculate
as to the possibility that any of
them may be good to eat. You will
relish beef and potatoes in the same
old way. But today you are full of
gloom and castor oil--and Heaven
only knows just what else.
