HOOPER Christmas On The Farm Exeter don’t suppose Christmas on farm is any different from Christmas in the city really—but it seems different. Like today for i n st a n c e— awakening to that soft, silent snow, deepening and deepening, the long .lane to the road getting •fuller and fuller. Cleaning it out >with the tractor only to have a blizzard push it full again. Going to the mail box through deep snow to find he hasn’t been there and looking ly filling • through. Is everything? Of course ■the question in everyone’s mind, Will we be getting to town for the Tree? Will all the presents and cards arrive that makes for that extra excitement? The child ren worry about seeing the toys in the wonderful shops just once more. Father wonders if Mother would mind cash instead of a be-ripboned gift (it sure would save him a lot of embarrassing hunting), Mother looks on her pantry shelves wondering—is there enough of this and that, checking in,, her mind-—there’s that chicken in the freezer if we can’t get the turkey-—it could do —without visitors, and if we’re, snowed in. they are snowed out. There’s plenty of apples in the cellar and we could pop corn and make, our own candy. Then smugly thinks about having all th.e presents tucked away and wonders if Father as usual has left everything until the 24th •instant. Christmas M o r n i n g—Farm children always seem to be up with the birds—ours wake up the birds. This is one morning we are up in plenty of time for chores, These are done hurriedly ■but well, with that delight of the Tree -beckoning. Breakfast is sketchy. With the radio tuned to carols we all sit around and let the children give out the gifts. All this time there has been a wonderful aroma permeating the house—-turkey. Of course everyone sniffs and drools, never remembering poor Mother prob ably had to get out of a nice warm ’bed at 4:00 a.m. to, set the stove going, so the ’bird cOuld bq cooked in time. But it smells wonderful anyway—mixed with the tang of oranges, cigars, coffee and the woodsy smell of fir, Then the radio or television is switched to the Christmas ser vice. There isn’t always time to go to the church service but the holy portion of the day is not -forgotten. Sometimes, the new doll becomes the baby in the Manger. The toy animals become ;part of the scene. It is always there—'throughout the whole day, Happy visitors arrived like a fresh breeze, brisk and full of fun, happy talk and hungry tum mies. Dinner and dishes over, tired babies to bed—the men sit in the living room, replete and content, either mumble together or doze, While the women folk sit in the kitchen to gossip about other iChristmasses and eat chocolates, dress dolls, work puzzles, admire over again some •gift and finally wonder if any one is ready for supper. Every one protests they aren't, bu manage somehow to nibble their way through a table groaning with goodies until only dirty dishes remain. This time the menfolk depart to the barn to help with the chores and admire the cattle, etc., while the poor aunts and cousins clean up the Mess, put the children down for a much-needed rest. dt has. been A crowded day, a happy carefree day, a day to talk over later; maybe not much has been said but those not there have been thought about. A warmness has bean spread about A 4eeling of friendliness that is somehow different this once a year.Boon it is tinie for leavetaking, The cars crunch to the door, frosty footsteps are heard, hearty voices ringing out a thank yon for a Merry Christmas, and don’t forgot falling ■breath on the up. Then with a last final Of tires, ’the visitors are _ Dad falls exhausted to the most comfortable chair and Mother has just enough energy left to make a pot of tea and carry it in and sits with him to mill over the day which has been so good, but thankful Christmas only comes once a year and somebody else is holding New Years, DID YOU KNOW? On Christmas night the bees get together and hum Christmas carols, the English say, and put a sprig of holly on the hives to wish the bees well . , .
