Mahe Christmas
Family Party
Christmas ' is the gime for family
get togethere. One ei the best
ways to makethese ,gatherings
memorable for all concerned is to
engage in gnan'es which dem whole
illy can .play.
A nice one to start oft with would
be /a Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one
member of the family hide Christ
ams candies ahead of :tints in ver-
Ws nooks and creates around the
house. At a given signal, everyone
starts the hunt and gathers the
pieces. The one who gathers the
greatest number of candies would
be given a prize.
The Christmas Puzzle is another
good one to get things going. Look
through some Magazines, which are
filled with pictures of Santa Claus
at this time of the year, and cut
out enough of these to go around,
paste them on stiff cardboard and
cut them into pieces. Then put
each group of pieces in a separate
paper bag. At the signal, every-
one opens a bag and begins pat-
ting the puzzle together.
The Ghrlttmas Scramble Contest
is good for a group with older chil-
dren in it. This is simply a con-
test to see who can unscramble a
group of words the fastest. Just
for fun, see if you can unscramble
the following: astna, erireden,
ehsgil dynoa, goleknet, erte, strep-
esn, hupnc, alsorc and niborb.

Santa Through
The Years
It's little Wonder that Saint Nick
is especially generous to the Ameri-
can people. History proves that
the Americans have done a lot for
Saint Nick!
They Mee given shim anew name,
a hew face and figure, and a new
means of transportation.
The original European version of
Saint Nick pictured him as a tall
angular fellow who rode on a bony
mare. Both the horse and Saint
Nick Looked as if they hadn't had
a good meal in some time,
The early English settlers in this
country started giving Saint Nich-
olas his "Now Look." The English
children adopted the legendary
Christmas figure from the Dutch,
but the English children had trou-
ble pronouncing "Saint Nicholous."
•Somehow the name changed to
"Santa Kalouf" and finally it was
corrupted to "Santa Claus."
However, this was only the be-
ginning. In 1809, Washington Ir-
ving in his "Knickerbocker's His-
tory of New York," wrote of the
Saint as the guardian of New York
City. Irving described Saint Nick
as a jolly fellow with a broad -brim-
med hat and huge breeches. He
taught Saint Nick to smoke a long
pipe, and, in the story, replaced his
shuffling hay -burner with a trim
wagon.
A short time later, Saint Nichol-
as' transportation was aided by
Clement Moore in his famous
poem, "The Visit of Saint Nichol-.
as," written in 1882. Moore, a pro-
fessor of divinity in a New York
theological seminary, gave Saint
Nick a sleigh, nose like a cherry,
and a little round belly.
Today's Santa Claus is by no
means streamlined, but he is a far
cry from the lean, ascetic, somber-
ly dressed fellow, who, for centur-
ies on Christmas Eve guided his
mare through the streets of Europe°
