Christmas
Brings Its
The happy seasonal time approacheth. Some newspaper scanners
will be reading "only 16 shopping days 'til Christmas."
Planning to catch the consumer at the time of least resistance,
namely, when he is still stuffed with the remains of Thanksgiving
turkey, these bold ads are designed to make him spend less for
food so that he will have more
"Just . think," signs will read,
"our special pre-Christmas sale
will give you an opportunity to
pick up wonderful bargains, such
as genuine Indian pottery, mark
ed doWn from $5 to $7.98. Just
the thing for mother-in-law!"
Home at Last!
Soon everyone • will .be asked
to give outright to everything
from the Old Ladies' Home-on
the-Hill to the Policemen's Christ
mas Ball. The latter galls a cer
tain portion of the population—
those who own cars.
But the holidays are actually
a time of great joy for everyone,
rich and poor. Students get to
leave school. They go home to
eat, to sleep, and. to drink cider.
Actually, without the presence of
of a roommate, many will find
it too quiet to sleep. Those who
do sleep, will wake up with vague
recollections of eight o'clocks.
Throwing snowballs at the mail
man who delivered a below-grade
Will work off some of the excess
energy which is bound to pile up.
Fortunate indeed is the student
who gets out of putting up the
tree and trimming it. If one's
family harbors pint-size offspring,
one may find it difficult to ex
plain why the chimney should
not be swept in preparation for
Santa's visit.
. Dad's New Car
The worst nightmare of all is
Christmas shopping. "Do your.
Christmas shopping early," ad
vises the man on• the radio. Yet
somehow, mother-in-law's pottery
will be forgotten until sometime
Christmas eve. This will necessi
tate a last minute dash to the
hometown business district.
Some unfortunates may add to
the holiday season's accident sta
tistics by ramming dad's shiny
car into someone else's rattle
trap. No need to wonder at 'the
identity of the late-shopper. Ten
to one it will be friend radio
announcer.
Acquisitions during the Christ
mas season, other than gifts, may
include bronchitis, resulting from
carolling, and probably will in
clude sore backs and chins sus
tained in active combat while
decorating the tree.
But all too soon students will
be - wending their way back •to
the institutes of learning in an
ticipation of a fast recovery in
time for semester vacation.
