The children do not want to play with their toys, but they are-.4nuch too excited to sleep, the grownups wander rest- lessly, craeking nuts a it eating, candies . . . what's to da then? There are always the books, the glossy, new,'unread books, and the Christnias , magazines that we had zio time to read before; .but •the children, what of the. children? We want to read? Well then, why- not read aloud, to one another? Even the smallest child will derive enjoyment from listening to an adult reading aloud and the older children will, enjoy taking part in 'a family reading session. It is Christmas, so of course we will start with the second Chapter of St. Luke. ".4nd it came to pass in those days. . Poetry? Well, why not try READING the Christmas --carols ..in.stead...of_smv2g,: _thexial, Some of them are Very beautiful and they are all easily understood tlie-Chlidleil. Away in a Manger, The First Nowell, Good King_ Wenceslaa,' We Three Kings, to mention, just a few that make really wonderful Christmas reading. In one magazine this month I noticed a selection of readings made by Charles-- Laughton. Unfortunately, Mr. Laughton seems, to have been rather Carried away by his own talents and most of the pieces he has chosen would be difficult to read without intensive practice. There is 'a short excerpt from the writings of the late Dylan Thomas, though, which is really worth reading. It is a conversation about. Christmas between Thomas and a small boy . . . Christmas in Wale, ten, perhaps 20 years ago, and it is quite the most beautiful description of a ""family Christmas"that I have ever read. Mr. Thomas himself recorded thi# conversation before his death, but if you are unable to beg, borroW steal the reCOrding, then I do recommend you to try reading the piece Aloud yourself. You will not have to work -at it, the words practically read themselves, and both you and the children will thoroughly enjoy it. ' Whtther you read a1Oud tb one anOther or not, Christmas will pass all too soon, and the months of preparation will be eaten, unwrapped, played with or smoked, almost before you know it. I hope your Christmas will -be a truly joyful one, with just enough of everything and not too much of anything. Merry. Chr , Yeau . to. the. Croderligh, Mr.. and Mrs, W. J.
