Start your own traditions
Here's a Christmas sampler from Dette
Hunter ,and Jocelyn Shipley's new book
Making Your Own Traditions.
Every parent everywhere is beseiged
with the question, "How many more days's
until Christmas? Dette and Jocelyn have
come up with some novel ways to "count the
days" until Christmas comes.
THE ANTICIPATION CHAIN
Cut paper for a simple link chain (strips
cut from fairly substantial colored paper
measuring three quarters of an inch by six
inches).
Number the strips one to 24 and put them
in order. if you have time, write a special
message (Dec. 21 - school concert) on each
link before you stick it together.
Form first strip into a circle and glue
together, slip the next strip into the link and
glue.
Starting Dec. 1, have your kids remove
one link per day. They'll quickly see that the
length of the chain is the number of days left
until Christmas.
COUNT THE DAYS COOKIES
Make or buy plain cookies.
Spread out and number them from one to
24.
Use tube icing or drizzle the numbers on
with homemade icing on a spoon.
Let dry well, then pack and toss in the
freezer.
Take out one day until Christmas.
Trimming the tree, no matter when the
family does it, is an exciting time. It's even
more special if some (or all of the
decorations) are made by family members.
Jocelyn and Dette have collected some fun
and easy decorations to help you have the
best dressed tree in town.
VIC'T'ORIAN PAPER FANS
Pleat paper into one inch folds.
Fold the pleated strip in half.
Tape two pleated sides together in the
centre.
Staple a bow to bottom and insert an
ornament hook. (But don't rush out to buy
hooks - fans will sit nicely on the branches
without them.
NOTE: Pleating is great for developing
hand -eye co-ordination.

CHRISTMAS BIRD
Cut simple shape for bird's body from
cardboard.
Slip a pleated strip of paper (see fans) into
the slit, then unpleat it and it's ready to nest
in your tree.
NOTE: Suspend a bird over the Christ-
mas dinner table in the Swedish tradition to
bring good luck to the household.
especially if the traditionally non -participat-
ing parent (like dad) cooks the dinner this
year!
May the
holiness of the
season bring
you faith and
understanding
...always!
