CHRISTMAS
GIVIN'
By AUNT AGGIE

COMETIMES wonder about Christmas,
~ as folks observe it now
The give an take O presents, like swappin',
it seems, somehow
An can't help doubtin', little, though
it amt fer me to say,
If He whose birth it remembers approves
O the modern way.
OF course it's nice an pretty, all holly an
mistletoe,
With bundles tied in ribbons an greetings
fyin' SO;
But what sets me a-thinkin', in q sort o
DOUBTFUL fear,
Is whether exchangin' presents Is more'n
selfish cheer.
There want no thought o barter, or gifts
with strings to them,
When Christ was sent to us, back there In
Bethlehem.
The comfort stills in follerin' the example
from above:
The spirit O. that first Christmas was pure
an simple love.

Christmas Burglar
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
In Missouri Farmer

Hear rustling In The hall,
L The creaklng OF a chair;
4 shadow steals along the wall,
A step Is on the stair:
4 mufiled tread thuds TO and fro
While, shrinking In the gloom,
watch and wait, for well know
A burglars In the room.
4 burglar! Just when Santa Claus
Has scampered up the ilue
And mddly dashed away, because
There's much more work 10 do!
4 burglar, with an eager face
And wide and shining eyes
Just as the sun comes up 10 chase
The darkness from the skies!
But what a reckless burglar this
4 burglar without fear,
Whose rapturous little shrieks Of bliss
The household wakes TO hear!
Who tumbles bundles all around
And searches stockings through
And cries aloud that he has found
That Santa Claus Is true!
He had his doubts but yesterday
His faith began TO fall,
He feared the reindeer and the sleigh
We're but fairy tale;
For someone sald-but they were wrong,
The prayed.for toys are here,
The faith that he has held so long.
Still shines, serene and clear.
