Christrnasy boxes
Christmas boxes with the lid and box
wrapped separately are really neat and
what's more, you can use them later as
storage boxes!
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.

Holiday travelling tips
If you check your State's holiday death
statistics, you will probably find a great
percentage of these involved drivers who
had been drinking intoxicating drinks. Why
not contribute to this holiday's joy by stay-
ing away from the driver's wheel if you
choose to drink during the season? Other
travelling safety suggestions are:
1. 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. Report any drunk drivers — it's for
Aik
their sake as well as yours.
6. Be on your honor guard, abiding by all
traffic laws. After all — it's YOUR life!
Happy holidays!
