The Rush Is Over ..
Of course, all your decorating
for this day of days has been done
for a Week or more, hasn't it?
And the living -room is a picture of
peace and contentment, isn't it?
While you read this on Christmas
'Eve, after the children are all
snug in their beds, the Christmas
tree is gaily lighting up the room
and showing off the Christmas
stockings hanging ready for old
Santa Claus.
We read of a couple in Denver,
Colorado, who hold open house on
Christmas Day for other folk to
come and see their tree. 'Tis pot
such a tree as we erect, but about
ten small trees firmly put togeth-
er to form a solidly constructed
large tree, just the height of their
living -roam. It has to be solid, to
support the 4,000 ornaments that
decorate it every year.
These decorations range from
special ornaments such as a tiny
harp, whose strings are minute
glass vials of perfume, and a
miniature organ that plays, to old
favorites like the littlest angel,
and colored glass balls.
Starting Christmas Day at dusk,
when 1,000 coloured lights light
up'the wrought -iron fence outside,
visitors in groups of 40 were taken
through the house to view the
spectacle, until January 3, when
the tree is taken down again.
We all are not able to spend
the money involved in such a dis-
play, but our own individual
houses, replete with decorations of
all sorts, our children's expectant
faces as they go off to bed, and
our own sense of well-being,
"God's in his Heaven, all's right
with the world," make the rush
and bustle of the last few days
well Worth any of the trouble to
which we have gone.
Merry Christmas and a Happy
'New Year to you all?
