Wl*S
December Is for Playing
Sometimes the busy holiday season has us scurrying
around so fast that we forget to stop and play But
considei Decembers history. Charles Dickens' A
Christinas Carol was first published in December 1843
The founder ol Parker Biothers, George S. Parker, was
bom in Decembei 1867 During this month in 1851. the
first YMCA was opened. This was also
the month that the first ball-bearing
roller skates were patented in 1884
In Decembei, the first table-tennis
Emj tournament was played in 1901 and
'SSF Monopoly debuted in 1935. So light
a fire, get out your books, board games, and Ping-Pong
paddles, and take time to play
Play consists of whatever a body is not
obliged to do.
-Mark Twain American writer (1835-1910) from The Adventures o( Tom Sawyer
To reduce dryer use (and cost), run towels through an
additional spin cycle in the washing machine first.
