The Christmas wish book is worn to shreds.
It's been looked at, memorized, and has been
the cause of many great disputes. The winner
would often be the new owner of the page in
order to ensure they toy or game sought after
is his alone, even if it was just the picture.
No doubt Santa Claus is astounded at the
length of some of the letters he receives. If
each child received everything that they
fancy, mom and dad would regdire a new
room onto the house each year to store their
so called necessities.
But the toys and games today are getting
larger, both in size and price. The old
traditional games of checkers and crokinole,
which passed many a long winter's night, are
rarely heard of anymore. Instead we have
games adapted from TV shows and of course
the popular Trivia quizzes to test ones .
memory and logic in many different cate-
gories.
The wooden blocks, puzzles and cuddly
dolls are left behind for outer space
creatures, creepy creations and the one and
only Cabbage Patch Kid. The video and
computer age has invaded many homes and
as a result the art of communication and
conversation is slowly slipping away from our
youngsters as they live in a world of buttons
and beeping sounds.
Society sure is mixed up these days.
Youngsters are treating dolls like human
beings while adults are throwing babies in
garbage cans. Policemen, who choose a'
career where they dedicate- their life to the
protection of people and their safety, are now
themselves targets of shootings and death:
Outraged citizens are protesting in hopes
of getting a return of capital punishment and
the death penalty as punishment for those
who commit these murders and yet Dr. Henry
Morgentaler can take thousands of innocent
lives every year'and is set free. Doctors take
an oath to protect life and they do all in their
human power to fulfill this promise. Does it
not make one wonder how Henry Morgen-
taler can call himself a doctor?.
Our society, in its search for wealth and
power, or as one might say, in search of the
good life, has lost perspective and sense of
justice. While protesting for human rights
and equality issues for a more liberated way
of life, individuals have forgotten about those
who cannot fight for themselves.
Christmas and the birth of the Christ Child.
is observed and celebrated in all countries of
the world by all religions as such a joyous
event. What a depressing state we must be in
when we terminate life as it does not suit our
plans or will alter our life style. .
Maybe people would be better off if they
would go back to family shared evenings and
play checkers or cards with the kids such as
Old Maid or Snapz We could show them the
world of love and laughter for all ages rather
then send them to watch the violence,
destruction and perverted material we so
often see on our Tv sets today.
