The president Maithel Wilson presided, and she opened the meeting with a reading "Coming of Joy". The hymn "Joy to the World" was sung. The roll call was answered by the 25 ladies present, "Christmas is...." The minutes of the November meeting were read by Anne Boyd. Margaret Ferguson gave the treasurer's report. Maithel gave a reading. The offering was taken up and dedicated by the presi- dent. There were 25 ladies present. The meeting was then turned over to the convenor Joyce Courtney and she read the scripture. The Prayer of Approach and the Lord's Prayer were said in unison. The hymns "0 Little Town of Bethlehem" and "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" were sung. Christmas music was very much en- joyed and sung by Bertha Scott and Marion Lowry. Joyce introduced the first of the guest speakers, Alice Teraa of R.R.1 Ripley. Mrs. Teraa told the ladies of how Christmas is celebrated in Holland. The celebrations there start on December 5th. Christmas dinner is to all on Christmas Eve, December 24. They do not exchange gifts as we do. Their Santa Claus does not come from the North Pole, but he comes from Spain. Go- ing to Church on Christmas is a must in Holland. Joyce then introduced the next guest speaker, Nena Wyld of Ripley, and she told the ladies of how Christmas is celebrated in Sweden. The celebrations there start on December 5th and last until January 14th, when the trees are dismantled and taken to a chosen spot in the community. Santa (the father) visits each house and gives each child a present. Each has to have a verse on it and Santa reads this before the present is given to each child. So the more children, the longer it takes. Carols are sung and are (some) the same as ours. Mrs. Wyld had four lighted candles on herhead and was dressed (traditionally) in a white nightgown. Her son and daughter were also dressed in white and both carried a lighted candle. Both ladies were enjoyed by all, and it was so nice to hear how Christmas is celebrated in different parts of the world. Joyce Courtney gave a reading "Is There Really A Santa". The hymn "Silent Night, Holy Night" was sung. Maithel Wilson thanked all the ladies for their help during her office. Mrs. Wilson led in prayer, grace was sung. The ladies then went to the basement, where a lovely lunch was served by the lunch committee, and a social hour was had by all.
