Dancing Out the Christmas Tree
In Sweden, Si Knul\ Day is the traditional day to discard
the Christmas tree and end the season’s festivities
Children’s parlies arc the favored way to strip the tree of its
decorations, after which the children arc free to "plunder"
the edible treats and small gifts that have been placed on the
tree especially for the occasion Finally, everyone “dances"
the tree out the door Singing special songs, they pick up the
tree and toss it out into the snow’ Swedish children look
forward to the dancing-out parlies almost as
much as Christmas itself and what
better way to combat the post
'' Christmas blahs'
jtj- Many children, many cares;
no children, no felicity.
nae Cut down the rim of a broken plastic laundry basket to
use as a draining tray for wet boots.

throwing over your lap while
reading or watching TV At
bedtime, set the temperature
at 61° F and snuggle under
the covers A programmable !
