Once more Christmas with all
its magic has nome and gone.
Never have l seen so many
brand new bicycles Whizzing
down the street. Santa Claus
must have left one under the
tree of every child big enough to
ride one.
Personally, this has been a
wonderful Christmas. l acquired
the spirit early. Maybe it was
because of the furry of practic-
inf for Christmas pageants.
Is there anything more angelic
looking then shining freshly
scrubbed faces, hair plastered
down with some of Daddy's hair
oil, white choir gowns and red
bows? The cutest thing was see
ing two wee angels cages 81
white robed and tinsel crowned,
trying to help each other from
tripping over their celestial garb.
Finally, they had to be rescued
by kindly choir member and all
was again calm and serene. My
daughter seemed to think of
Santa Claus in terms of colored
lights. Every decoration with
bright lights was hailed with
Look! There's some more Santa
Caus!"
l was a little perturbed to find
that Santa Claus was being quite
materialistic until 8 year old Jon
came to me with the request,
Mother, may we bake birthday
cake for Jesus birthday" You
may be sure we baked that cake
"a chocolate one-dear to every
boy.
