Each day now, cartoon in
the likeness Of "Skipry" ap-
pears in one of the daily
papers, telling Of the shopping
days left before Christmas. AS
they get less, one can imagine
the Joy in the hearts Of most
children as they await the visit
of good old St. Nick. Older
folk are wise enough to know
that much must be done in the
interim. Soon the college set
will be arriving home for their
longest holiday and will get into
the swing of making ready.
Soon the lists Of shopping for
the table gets longer, and soon
all will be awaiting the serv-
ices in the church that marks
a very special day for Chris
tians everywhere. It is happy
season and one should make the
most Of 1t for the time passes
and the routine of the days
begin once more. How busy
are you? Take time to give
thanks for many things that
are still available.
