PERSONAL Mr. Jim Shortreed of Huronview spent a couple of days last week with Mrs. Shortreed at his home in the Madill Mirror We have been bombarded with Christmas since November. It may sound almost sacreligious to interpret Christmas as a burden but the fact remains that people are finding it extremely difficult to "get into the spirit of the season." Maybe broaching this subject is just another re- minder that Christmas is becoming an expensive investment. The people who suggest we drop, it from our calenders are more serious than we realize. .But back in my cluttered brain something is trying to nudge it's way to the surface of my memory; something about the real meaning of Christmas. Don't sigh, I know you all know about the "shining star" and "Peace on Earth, Goodwill To Men", that's old hat. Wait a minute though, not so fast, surely the real, true meaning can be found in one of the oldest stories in the world. I believe the meaning comes in the form of a gift that is the most valuable in the world. It would be perfect for Mum and Dad, your brother and sister, the neighbour next door, even the person •- who has everything. The baby, Jesus, received it and you yourself have had it too. No matter how much a person has already, he will certainly appreciate more. It really doesn't cost that much, perhaps a small 'sacrifice of yourself and a little tending each day. It can bring a smile to the saddest face or make the poor, richer than they could have dreamed. It will be , as year round gift, coveted in everyone's heart t makes things a little brighter and problems a little easier to handle. The gift of course is love and see you knew it all along. Have a very Merry ChriStmas and remember as the late John Lennon said "all you need is love". Lynn N colson I The best gift McCallum, Geo, Williamson and Mr, and. Mrs. Ralph Traviss.
