MR. AND MRS. WILLIAM ELFORD
As you can see, our Christmas is
not very lively.
Sometime before the day
ends, we ii4ually have a sing-song
of some of the best loved carols
with the kids taking turns at the
Piano. It isn't a very polished
performance but no one in the
family seems to care. An d always we seem to take
time out to count our blessings.
It may _start with the children
saying thank you for gifts they
have received, but generally it
leads to a discussion about the
bountiful goodness of God who
has preserved us throughout
another year.
For a warm home, sufficient
food, adequate clothing, eye
sight, hearing, the ability to
work and play, good schools,
love, health, sound mind, skills,
freedom . . .(this list can go on
and on) . we are grateful.
What better day than Christmas
day to say "thank you"? * *
This year when the Kellers
get around to saying their thanks
for blessings they have received,
I will include a big "thank you';
for the many friends I've made
in my short time at •the T-A as
women's editor.
You readers have made my
job so much more rewarding
through your interest. Not one
request for help has gone
unheard. Someone always comes
forth with the solution to any
given problem.
If this space is enjoyed by
T-A readers it is because it has
been a joint effort of many,
many people throughout this
area. My one hope for the new
year is that this goodwill Fill
continue to grow between us. * * *

PAMPER THAT ZIPPER
The zipper, a modern baby
boon, is simpler to fasten than
ties or buttons, and more secure.
But, handle with care! Remember
to close before laundering. Zip-
pers can catch on other things

tears.

WITH SHIRLEY J, KELLER
Had a telephone call Friday
from Mrs- M. Gaisford at Huron
Park who accidentally illYented
tasty-.. and very attractive
luncheon dish earlier in the day,
The. lady had PrePared a favorite dip for a party she had
the evening before, As so often
happens, some 'of the dip was
left over in the morning so Mrs,
Gaisford piled the dip in an
avocado half, added wedges of
cheddar cheese and tomato and
some lettuce and celery as
garnish to make a luncheon dish
very much appreciated by her
husband.
She gave me the recipe for
the dip — nice, she suggested, for
a New Year's Eve party, She
serves it with chips or crisp
crackers.
PARTY DIP
1 small tin devilled ham
1 tsp. horseradish (more if you
like)
1 tablespoon grated onion
1 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp. salt
Mix all together and chill
until ready to serve.

If you are not ready yet for
Christmas girls, I'm afraid it is
going to be one of those years
when Christmas dinner is a
delicious hodge-podge of last
minute goodies — and gifts are
more appreciated because there
are fewer of them.
I know about things like this,
for happen to be one of those
women who puts off everything
until, the last second only to find
that moment is filled with
unexpected duties.
Consequently I'm never ready
for anything (I wasn't even
prepared for my own wedding).
Christmas at our house is
wild. The house never does get
the proper cleaning it should
have; the baking and cooking is
seldom done in time for
pre-Christmas entertaining; the
gifts don't get wrapped until the
very last hour before Santa
arrives and then, laziness often
sets in so that some remain
in the store's paper with only a
hastily scribbled card which
reads, "Love, Santa."
And Christmas dinner doesn't
take any traditional form at our
home. The day before Christmas
I ask my family what they
would like to eat — usually they
say turkey, mashed potatoes,
gravy, mixed vegetables and
cabbage salad. I throw in a few
garnish dishes — like cranberries,
a jellied salad and maybe some
hot rolls. For dessert, ice cream
suits everyone just fine, with
maybe a piece of mince pie 'or
Christmas cake.
Still every Christmas is
happier than the last one. I like
to think it is because our family
is one year older and has had
another 365 days of loving and
being loved. As long as we're
together, Christmas is a happy
time.
There are some parts of our
Christmas which are traditional
with our family. As Lutherans,
our children have their annual
Christmas program on Christmas
Eve and for as long as we've had
a home, Christmas Eve has been
Our Night.
We attend church to hear the
marvellous Christmas story told
in verse and song. It sets our
sites on the coming of a Saviour
and puts Santa Claus in the
proper perspective.
After church we go to
Grandma's house to deliver gifts
and have a cup of coffee and
some Christmas cake with the
rest of her family who all,
somehow, aksamble together on
Christmas Eve.
In the morning we're up early
(what family isn't). There are
presents to open, of course, and
a dinner to start before
Christmas morning church
service.
After dinner we rest and laze
and lounge — completely at ease
until we get the urge to make a
turkey sandwich for evening
lunch in front of the television.
