American institute Of Decorators


Not long ago, some one sale
that you can determine how happy
people are, not by the appearance
of their homes, but by the alert.
ness of the communities in which
their homes are located. It ha,
taken time for me to learn the
wisdom Of this philosophy, but
the interest in the Christmas sea-
son tends to convince me.
Travelling from coast to coast
city to city, country to country
has taught me how people live
and want to live. It also has
demonstrated the interest COM
munities take in Christmas. Never
shall I forget Christmas Tree
Road in Pasadena, the tours to
houses in Portland, Oreg., and
Houston. Texas, and the clever
way in which room interiors all
over the country have been deco
rated for Christmas festivity.
Those who succeed in evolving
festive Christmas decorations have
a quality of whimsy mixed with
imagination and a true sense of
play, but they also combine with
these qualities q sense of the
practical.
They know available materials.
They purchase the right tools.
They set aside time and place to
make the decorations, where they
will not be interrupted and where
the accumulation will not disturb
daily living.
They have a theme that runs
through all the things they do.
1t may be color. angels. animals,
stars, bells, glitter. When they
place the results Of long hours of
work. they mass them. make them
big and important, avoiding con-
fusion and clutter.
Fun to make, and fun for all to
see, is the Christmas ornament Of
peppermint candy motifs, Illus
trated here. which originated by
Peter Hunt. The paint designs
follow the simple folk art tech
nique developed by this Province
town artist.
Peter Hunt passes on the en-
chanting adventure in freehand
decoration, and helps you convert
cast-offs into usable and fascinat-
ing decorative Christmas acces-
sories. You can make candle
sticks out of old table or chair
legs.
A discarded cheese box becomes
an ornamental gift box when it is
decorated with the flying angel
Or you can make a charming front
door decoration from part of a
mirror support from a broken
down bureau, after you have dec
Grated it with flower and heart
motifs, and hang swinging bells
on it.
You can also combine Hunts
technique with modern materials,
making angels, snow men, stars,
and snowfakes of plastics.
The Christmas holiday is like

no other holiday. It is a univer-
sal one celebrated in all countries,
and by all people and all ages.
Each family has within it a ira
dition that is hard to change, and
each new family can evolve a
new one within the confines of
the old.
