There needs to be a moratorium on attacking business men for
"commercializing" Christmas.
It is not the "commercialization" which threatens to destroy the
value of the season. Of course, it needs to be _clearly pointed out that
everyone blows by now that Christmas is not just a.Christian season,
but a cultural celebration. The Church has no more claim on the
season than the lumberjacks who cut the trees,
What the Church needs to do again is to utilize the season instead
of trying to claim exclusive rights in it. There are great gifts even in
the commercialization of it. The idea of giving gifts of expressing
human generosity and kindness, is an idea which should be
propagated for all it is worth.
What needs to be done to make Christmas useable by Christians is
to "de-mythologize" it. Take away its false stories and replace them
by the real stories.
Yep, quit lying to the kids. Start telling them the real beauty of
Christmas gifts. That Uncle Joe or Aunt Carolyn, or cousin Bill gave
them gifts because of love. Make the whole idea of human
relationships expressive of the best in human nature, instead of the
pretense of some big fat fraud from the North Pole who gets credit.
What a great tragedy for children to have parents who save and
skimp for months to be able to love their children in presentation of
gifts. only to have the parents lie about where the gifts come from.
It is no wonder that children grow up to distrust parents, Not
only do the parents fail to share (it is Santa and easter bunnies and
all those lies who get credit for gifts), but parents create distrUst in
the child. For six or seven years the parents insist upon. being
believed when they lie, and then wonder why the kids won't believe
them when they do tell the truth.
Giving gifts is a terrific practice. It ought to be encouraged. But
give gifts in love, not in deceit. Celebrate the season as a great
holiday. Christians can include their concept of the birth of Jesus,
and Jewish citizens can have their own reasons, as well as the Black
Muslims.
In English literature, one nickname for the Devil was "Old Nick."

Take care

decorations
' Christmas trees, lighted
candles, arrangements of
evergreen sprigs - the traditional
decorative touches which spread

throughout the home However,
they' can also spread fire unless
great care is taken. Hal Wright,

Food, offers some tips for a safe,

Never use lighted candles on

metallic tree, spotlight it from
nearby. Do not put electric
First, select a fresh tree.'
Before setting it up, make a
fresh cut so water can be
absorbed more readily. Place the
tree in a sturdy stand containing
water. Water daily to keep the

should occur, the entire tree
could become electrically
"alive".
Use glass and asbestos
decorations which are
noncombustible or fire
retardant. Keep evergreens or
polystyrene foam decorations
away from candles, fireplaces,
and other open flames.
When unwrapping the
Christmas presents, have a large
container available for the
wrappings and dispose of them
as soon as possible. Never burn
them in the fireplace since they
create an intense heat and could
start a chimney fire.

Christmas gatherings just
naturally turn into parties--
friends and relatives drop in
With holiday greetings, and
all of a sudden it's a party!
Party games designed spe-
cially for the season can spur
on the fun.
For groups large or small,
parties planned or impromp-
tu, the following entertain 7
ing ideas are suggested.
One way to "break the ice,"
especially when all of the
guests are not well acquaint-
ed with each other, is to play
a guessing game. A Christ-
mas Personality game can ire
played by pinning a name
such as "Rudolph," "Santa"
or "Christmas Angel" on the
backs of several guests. Then
each tries to guess his name
by hints others give.
Another • way to start a
party is to start the guests
out thinking! Have a little
contest and see who can
spell the most, words with the
letters in "Chrismas."
Musical Candy Cane
A lively combination ver-
sion of Musical Chairs and
Hot Potato makes use of
some unbreakable symbol of
Christmas festivities — a
small package, one of the
sturdier tree ornaments, a
big candy cane,
One person who is not play-
ing puts on a Christmas rec-
ord. Everyone sits in a close
circle and passes the object
around, When the music sud-
denly stops, the person who
has the object in his hand is
out. This continues until the
circle is reduced to one the
winner!
Tiny Treasure Hunt
The simplest searching
game is one in which one
person leaves the room while
another hides a small object
that has been agreed upon
beforehand — a small pack-
age, some wrapped Christ-
mas candy.
When "it" comes back, he
hunts for the object and the
other person indicates that
he is near it by clapping
loudly or saying, "You're
warm."
When "it" moves away
from the object, the other
person claps softly or says,
"You're getting cold,"
*
Pin the Star
Children never tire of ex-
citing party games, while the
adults may need a rest. One
game that is loads of fun for
kids to play and adults to
watch is a seasonal version
of "Pin the Tail on the Don-
key." This one is "Pin the
Star on the Christmas Tree."
It's easy to cut a large
shape of a Christmas Tree
out of green construction
paper and tape it to a wall
or door, making sure it is low
enough for the littlest guest
to reach the top.
Each child gets a paper
star with tape on the back
and takes his turn being
blindfolded and spun around.
The one who can place his
star closest to the top of the
tree wins.
*
Christ illaS Tree
A Christmas Tree game
that everyone can play is a
guessing game, In "Christ-
mas Tree" the person who is
"it" leaves the room while
the other players decide on
a secret word, It must be a
verb, or a word showing ac-
tion, such as run, eat or swim,
When "it" comes back, he
tries to guess the word by
asking questions using
"Christmas Tree" in place of
the word, He may ask, "Do
children Christmas Tree?"
Churches.with a runaway best
seller? You can believe it. The
new hymn book Wished by the
Anglican and United Churches a
few months ago has sold out - all
185,,000 copies. Now officials
are wondering how they can
appease eager church members
until March when the second
printing will come off press.
Already, there are orders on
hand for 20,000 copies.
The first edition was received
from the printer in October and
distribution to congregations of
both denominations began soon
afterwards. Price of the new
hymn book is $3.75 in quantity
lots, $4.75 for less than 12
copies.
Six years ago the two
churches established a
committee of 25 clergy and lay
people who searched out and
examined '10,000 hymns and
tunes from all over the world.
Finally, '507 hymns were
selected, of which 150 are new.
Canadian authors wrote 57
hymns and Canadian musicians
composed 45 of the tunes.
"It's the finest hymn book
ever produced, with the finest
type, paper and design," said
Rev. R, H. N. Davidson,
vice-chairman of the joint
committee, Allan R. Fleming of
Toronto was the designer; music •
engraving was done by
University Press, Wurzburg,
Germany, and printing was by
Southan-Murray of Toronto. In
view of the results, Dr. Davidson
my be allowed his moment of
exultation.
Bishop Frederick H.
Wilkinson of Toronto is
chairman of the committee, Rev.
Safety tips
"The public's failure to use
seat belts is irresponsible and
deplorable: Yet we in the
medical profession are some of
the worst offenders. Thus by our
example we show indifference to
a serious epidemic," Dr. William
R. Ghent, Faculty of Medicine,
Queen's University, quoted by
the Ontario Safety League. .
Obeying the traffic laws is
not the only standard a 'driver
should set himself, says the
Ontario Satety League. Having
the right to do it doesn't always
mean that it's right to do it.
