"I Leve Christmas," the Lady
Said, "Because
I love te see people happy."
"Loek at that little chap and his wee sister as
they see their magnified faces in the mirror that
queers their little bodies. They are almost bursting
with the fun they give each ether."
That's what Christmas is for, te make happiness
for all around.
In old times there were Christmas festivals, when
jugglers, harpers, singers, masked neighbors,
mummers, went te every home in the village, played
games and music, danced and told stories, and reveled
in a simple meal of coffee, crullers and cress buns:
Before leaving they trimmed the house with red
berried holly and put wreaths of cedar and pine at the
windows, and sang a recessional of their sweetest
Christmas carols.
It is possible te make a joyous Christmas indeed
this year. Let us all de our best at this geed job.
Signed"

Truly fine enough for
these who are dear,
truly different eneufh
for these who are fas
tidious, yet low enough
in price te be practical.
