At Christmas time, you will
find all the stockings hanging in a
row at our house They were
made by my sister in Michigan
quite a few years ago
It’s a tradition for everyone to
descent the stairs at one time to
see what Santa brought with
the youngest leading the way
As a child, my brown cotton
stockings was one of seven
tacked to the wainscoting m thef
kitchen We always found an
orange, English Walnuts and
hard candy in the toe.
After examining our find, we
were allowed to step into our
ankle-length underwear while
backed-up against the hot stove
downstairs, instead of going up to
our cold bedrooms
In the evening it seemed we
invariably had bad weather to
travel the four miles to our
Church for the Christmas
program Following the
children’s recitations, each child
received a large orange and a box
of chocolate candy
It seems ages ago

It seems to me that art
teachers must be one of out most
prolific groups During the
course of one year, a child in
elementary school brings home
wide assortment of creative
work Some of these pictures last
a few days and some a few weeks
on the kitchen door or
refrigerator Others, actually
have been enjoyed for years.
Our problem is that we have
enjoyed over 30 years worth of
productive activity in the field of
art
And what do we do with all
these objects of art 9 Why, store
them, of course.
Each child has his own bulging
box in his room And, hopefully,
someday when they move away
the box will go with them Or, will
it 9 ’

Speaking of art, an innovation
at our Church this season was a
Christmas art competition Forty
local artists entered pictures with
a religious theme They were an
interesting addition to our
Christmas worship

As the Christmas glow adds to the spirit of
the season, we think it a fine time to thank
all our customers for their very loyal and
friendly patronage. A Merry Christmas to all!
