Create your own Christmas boxes by measuring the height and perimeter of your box (without the lid), leaving 1" all around for overlap. Brush rubber cement on the box and on the paper. While cement is till wet, apply the wrap to the box — one side at a time, smoothing out wrinkles or bubbles. Slit the wrap at the corners and glue top and bottom edges down. Measure underside of box. Cut the paper to its size, and cement in place. To cover lid — measure its depth and the perimeter of the lid sides. Add 1" all around for overlap. Cut paper to size. Measure top of box and cut paper to its size; cement in place. Glue on bright geolnetrical designs made of contrasting paper. FOR MOM: Wrap the gift in pretty paper, then use a tape measure as a ribbon, tied around the box and in a bow at the top. FOR DAD: Wrap dad's gift in red paper. In one corner, glue a pink triangle, Cut out black felt eyes, red felt nose and mouth, and glue in place. Glue on balls of cotton for hair, moustache, and beard. FOR SISTER: Wrap the present in pretty paper. Tie a ribbon around it if you wish. Ar- range lollipops like flowers. Cut out green paper or felt leaves and glue at lollipop's base. FOR BROTHER: Criss-cross the gift's bright paper with a wide ribbon. Tape a cou- ple of new, tiny cars to the ribbon road. 0 shopping easy as one, two, three. YOU COULD BE A WINNER!

Before leaving on your trip, check the weather conditions of the route you will be traveling. 2. Give yourself plenty of time to reach i your destination without the feeling that you must rush. 3. Buckle seat belts and use the child restraint devices. 4. Just in case you run into bad weather or have car trouble, take blankets along, and carry a bag of sand. 5.
