There are angels, toy soldiers, elves, dolls, kings, frosty the snowman and of course Santa and Mrs. Clause. I'm sure I'm speaking for all the proud parents and relatives of these beautiful children when I say, ‘‘A very special thank you to Sister Evangelist and Mrs. Rees for their patience and love.” I'll bet my last dollar, which incidentally will be coming up shortly with this Christmas shopping, that in Binghamton, N.Y.

Prayers for a speedy recovery. Elaine Mattioli enjoyed her birthday with a party for several of her friends, Dec. 20. When I first met Mr. Donachie, I knew at once what a bright star he is. Little did I realize that some 40 years ago, Mr. Donachie was already shining. Last week’s edition of the Post, ‘Only Yesterday,’ I read that Mr. Donachie was a member of the football all stars. P.S. I bet he can still tackle a few anythings and anybodies.
