There is a tot of though behind sending a Christmas card, at least, most Christ- mas cards. When I was small and in Idadergerten, most of the children in the class brought cards for their friends and classmates at Christmas time. This we all thought was slot of fun, and we continued ' to send Christmas cards to each other all of the way through public sclmig and even now in high school. Christmas cards meant a lot to us then. If a certain Tittle boy sent a mushy Christmas card to the cute little blonde with the curly pigtails, this meant that they were in love. Or so they thought. We always picked our favourite Christmas cards for our best friends and were sure to leave a nice one kw the teacher too. This/was all a part of the caring that went into giving the Christ- Ines cards out. Way back then our favour- ke Christmas cards were ones that had a picture of Santa Claus, an animal or a Snowman. Cards that could pop out when you opened them or ones with the dot-to-dot pictures inside were special as well.-Once all it was not the end of the world. Some people say Christ- mas cards are a big expense when sent by mail. But when you think of it, they really aren't. The Cost of sending an envelope with a message of good wishes, memories, and a note to say hello is worth the possible dollar. if that. People take a lot of things into consideration when trying to decide which Christmas card to send while standing in the aisle of the store. People generally etice the larger cards first Its nice to sent a large flashy card to friend. They will pick it up and decide whether they like the design on the ,front of it first. Then if the front of the card passes inspection, they will open it up and read the verse. Sometimes this verse is what turns, the person away from buying a particu- lar card. Once they read the verse and approve of it, they may turn to one last censid- coition, the price of the card. It always seems the nicest cards are always the most expensive whether they are large, flashy or even have a., nice verse. The Christmas card one person might pick up first might be a cute one with a picture of little children on the front, a cute verse but that same card might cost 90 i-taf ,,r 21" • — DAYS ONLY o': 20% ( OFF rl rl 'ALL WINTER `,;/ BOOTS (it MAIN STREET SEAFORTH 527-1110 ; - r0;,-7'. 47/ • off SOUND EQUIPMENT Example: Stereos, Radios, etc. & ALL HARDWARE GIFT ITEMS Example: Power tools, Handtools etc. , Big Discounts Tues.

It is interesting to see the small children on the front of the Christmas card photos grow up each year. Their hair will change. They grow taller. And a baby one year is a big girl the next. It really keeps people in touch with each other when they send cards with photos on the front so that you will know what your friend's family looks like and how much it has grown since you last saw family mem- bers.
