Good boys and girls will be in
bed early tonight and at the very
break of dawn little eyes will open
and little feet will hurry down
the stairs. week days when
school is in session are good Cor
sleepy mornings but Christ
mas mornings are different.
ENJOY THE SMILES
The various organizations who
have been gathering everything
from toys to clothes for the less
fortunate have also eased d o W n
and are sitting back to enjoy the
smiles on many faces, m d e
happy through their efforts. 1t is
the Christmas spirit.
Brings to mind a little poem
tucked away in our Log of the
Good Ship Happiness that al
ways seems tc fit the occasion. 1t
runs something like this:
ut amt So much money =.
and it amt so much the style
.. but jest the WAY of givin'
.. that makes the other fellow
smile 1t makes us SOrta
chuckle and we get to
wonderin' why we feel so
Gosh burned happy .. helpin'
the felIers passin' by"
So let's all extend that
helping hand to SOMEONE at
Christmas time it will make
our own so much happier for the
doing. May we wish every one
a sincere MERRY CHRISTMAS.
Until we meet tomorrow at 2::3o
