Wihat you planning? or a modern We are & the spirit «i simplicity that making our Christmas day a show time and =poiling the beautiful sig- nificance of it by turning it into a sgort of grab game. Chesterton says ‘hat “there are too muny people who connect Good Friday ouly with hot cross buns. There are many who at Michaelmas think only of the wings of a goose and uever of the wings of ap arch- angel.” It is better that the children of the household should think not only of their own gifts, but of gifts to others less fortunate than themselves —to the maids, the poor of the church or the neighborhood, lonely relatives, distant and homesick says the Pensacola Journal, There are some people so unfor- tunate that they must eat their Christmas dinner in public. some housewives, hoping to get rid of the trouble of getting up a Christ- mas feast, lure their young folks with glittering promises of the good things and the good times which may be had in some public dining room. It seems to me that the better spirit of Christmas is lost when the celebration is out of the home. A simple feast and a few charades fol- Jowing, in which such words as"mis- tletoe” (miss-tell-toe), *St. Nich- olas" (saint-nickle-lass) are actel out, will have a charm which never comes with an eight course dinner, followed by a card party. The hest kind of Christmas is the one in which a family is drown to- gether by good cheer and mutual happiness. This is of all feasts the home feast and the one which should take place at one's own hearthstone, imitation? ting so far away from we are + Although the business activity of Entered in the postoffice at Lake- | and | kind of Christmas day are| An old tashioned one In fact, | O PR - s o s ] SR, 0.
