Men aren't really hard to buy for
Have you ever felt as if you were wander-
ing through a maze when you tried to select
that special Christmas gift for the man in
your life?
The Christmas shopper has a vast selec-
tion of men's items, which can range
anywhere fronik modern to old fashioned and
from inexpensive to costly.
Today's young people have chosen the
digital wrist wathces as one of their top
choices for the man in their life. These wat-
ches reveal the time in illuminated digits
and are powered by tiny energy cells. The
watch never needs winding.
Wine -making kits have become popular
gifts for the man who does a lot of home
entertaining. They are convenient, money
saving and fun for the whole family.
Jewelry is also a recommended item for
the modern man. The holiday shopper can
choose from a large variety of neck chains,
personalized wrist bands, and stylish rings.
An ideal gift for the man who relishes fond
memories of the past could be a set of
Everyone Iikes cash
If you hate Christmas shopping, the gift
for you to give is cash. It solves the confused
gift -giver's problems as well as proving
itself to be a liquid asset.
The only reason most people avoid giving
cash is because of its lack of novelty. No one
gets as excited over a $10 bill as they might
with an antique ring. And let's face it, we
want to see the receivers of our gifts happy
with our offerings. That's why it would be
nice to disguise the money we give.
One way to give cash is in the form of gift
certificates.
Another way to disguise cash is to tuck
some away in'a stuffed animal. Take out the
stomach lining and replace it with crisp new
bills. Nothing will disappoint a 50 -year-old
more than seeing a stuffed animal for
Christmas. Think of the mood elevator it
will be when he counts that money you hid.
If you think the the traditional green bill
will excite your friend the most, give him
the standard 'cash card. He will be able to
easily locate the cash in the pocket.

decorative antique wall placques. These
wall hangings come in a variety of colors
and shapes such as the old fashioned Model
T Fords, street cars, and old stage coaches

Pocket wathces of the 1900s have recently
become fashionable again. These elegant
old timepieces are decorated with an
engraved scene taken directly from the
yellowed pages of our history books. The
watch dangles from a gold or silver chain
and can be easily attached to your man's
pocket or belt.

Christmas in July?
What if Christmas were to come in July?
Wouldn't it be pure agony to go shopping in
the stifling heat, wagging packages from
store to store while crying children beg for
this or that toy? And would the twinkling
lights give, the same cheery glow on a hot
summer's night? And what about mowing
lawns around Nativity scenes? Candles
would melt in windows ever before being lit.
Stockings would be hung by fireless
fireplaces and what would Christmas cards
look like without snow scenes?
Although it's true that no one really kncws
the exact day of Christ's birth, and many
scholars feel it's almost certain it wasn't in
wintertime, still it seems very fitting to
close the year with Christmas. Then. too,
the crisp cold air and sparkling snow lend to
the beauty of the glad tidings that a Saviour
was born and that His love still shines on us
today!
Thank God Christmas comes in
December!
