 If you haven't, Joan Davis thinks it's about time you did, for when the comedy comedienne returns to the Sealtest Village Store with Jack Haley Thursday. Aug. 3i (NBC, 9:30 D. m) she'll stage Christmas Party with all the trimmings.
 And presents galore will be brought by Jimmy Durante, Kenny Baker, Arthur CDagwoodD Lake, Johnny Mercer and Eddie Cantor among those who have been invited to participate.
 While the whole thing may sound on the wacky side, 1t isn't. at all. La Davis has a sound reason for her seemingly silly off-season syin- phony--a reminder that Christmas presents to the men overseas must be mailed early.
 She'll be helping the New York Journal-American and other news. papers keep this admonition be- fore the public.
 So as the guests of honor gather in the village store to welcome Joan and Jack back to the air, they'll find the stars busy trimming a Christmas tree laden with presents for fighting men on distant battle. fronts.
