A Christmas
What shall I wish for you for
Christmas?
I wish you will have a
Christmas with no hangovers.
Oh, I don't mean the kind that
come from consuming too
much alcohol, although that
goes without saying, of
course! I mean the other kind
of hangovers.
Hangovers are caused by
too much of something, and
most of us are guilty of pack-
ing much too much into this
lovely season. The result is
that we often wake up from
the festivities with post holi-
day blues wondering if it was
really worth it.
Often there's been too many
late nights, too much travell-
ing, too much money spent.
too many people around, too
much mess to clean up, too
many gifts, and too many
pounds put on.
We can't get too much
Christmas for Christmas is a
wonderful time bringing
sweet memories of the past,
and happy feelings as we
gather with our loved ones.
Best of all, it gives Christ and
his wonderful message of love
more free publicity than any
other time of the year. No, we
don't get hangovers because
of Christmas but because of
our misuse of it.
Most of us spend too much.
Many families will be in debt
for months paying off what
they spent on Christmas. We
spend too much on the wrong
things. Gifts are a splendid
symbol of love, but even
small inexpensive gifts can be
a vivid reminder of the
Greatest Gift of all.
We may do too much
visiting with people who real-
„ ly do not need us around in-
stead of spending time with
others -who desperately need
a word of cheer. We protest
there is just so much time, so
maybe we need to be more
selective in our socializing,
going to those who need us
most ... the recently bereav-
ed or divorced, the the sick,
the old, the unlovely.
We want to have too much
fun and wear ourselves out
dashing from one party to the
next, jamming our days with
fruitless activity. Our inten-
tions may be to get to church,
to spend time reading the old
Christmas stories or having
some quiet talks with our
children. Next thing we know,

Of course, we all eat too
much. We can't blame those
imaginative cooks who con-
coct all those fantastic foods.
No, our eating hangover is
caused by our own gluttony so
that we close the day with
Eno Salts instead of
thanksgiving.
So, what I do not wish for
you is a nerve-racking,
energy sapping, Christ -
neglecting extravaganza that
leaves you with a giant emo-
tional hangover.
What I do pray for you is a
time of happy gatherings with
God's people, intimate con-
versations with your children
as they gather from far cor-
ners. Loving talks with
relatives, friends and
ing you up for the return of
your daily duties. l wish for
you no regrets, no after ef-
fects, no hangovers.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Well! The Junior Farmers
certainly came down on me
for the column l wrote on ex-
cess drinking. That's their
privilege, of course, but it
seems to me they missed the
point.
One of the things 1 was try-
ing to do was make readers,
especially young ones, more
aware of the falsehood that
drinking always makes for a
good time. The fact that the
group I travelled with, and
about whom 1 wrote, were

delicious lunch was then

Junior Farmer ( not from this
are, incidently i» was really
beside the point. However,
since I have abviously hurt
and offended them, I do
apologize for naming them. It
could have been any other
group, and in no way did l
ever intend to make Junior
Farmers scapegoats.
What saddened me, beyond
all measure, was that this
group of travellers was
'young' people, who it seem-
ed to me, were acting out a
role that my generation, by
our actions and adver-
tisements, has taught them,
i.e` if you want to have fun,
drink! Now, before I stir up
another hornets'rst, let Inc
hasten to say 1 am not against
young people, whetheror not
they are Junior Farmers.
Raised on a farm, myself,
with about 60 percent of my
relatives still on the land, I
know better than many peo-
ple, that farmers, young and
old, are the cream of the crop.
Their generosity and public
spiritedness does not have to
be extolled by me, because it
is well known.
Besides that, I have raised
four young people, myself, so
I, too, know that most of the
younger generation is in-
telligent, moral and serious
minded. However, as with all
age groups, there are always
those whose actions and
deeds are excessive, and
sometimes dangerous. To
shut one's eyes to that is hard-
ly helping the situation.
In any event, I still say to
everyone... Young People, Old
People, Teachers, Lawyers,
Preachers, Editors, Colum-
nists, whoever you are...to
drink to excess is foolish and
demeaning to your character,
to drink and drive is a
criminal offense and could be
fatal.
And above everything else,
what I wish for you is a hap-
py and safe holiday season.
and a long and unmarred life.
