was he to 'know it was exactly the same as

You say you finally spied the Star Wars
contraption Junior's been raving about for
weeks. It was the last one on the shelf and
before you could reach it another shopper
got her hands on it. You asked the
saleslady for another, but she said that was
the last one. The other customer smiled
apologetically but wouldn't let go.
You say you carefully packed and
wrapPed the kids' parcels, muffling every
telltale rattle and covering every letter on
the boxes. They begged you to tell them
viltat was inside. You said, "Guess!" They
did. And they were right.
• You' say you hurried to the supermarket
to buy those iast minute goodies and
esssentials. The store was packed. Every-
one in town seemed to have the same idea.
Halfway through your ,„shopping you
realized YOU had picked a cart with a stiff
v,heel that persisted in heading left when
you wanted to go right, and the three
people you bumped into didn't seem in the
mood to hear your excuse.

You pro b ably won't sleep on !Christmas
Eve, either. You'll be afraid you vv,on't
wake up early enough to stuff the turkey
and get into it into the oven on time,
You say you •think you're coming down
with a cold, pt;t)bally due to the hours of
running around in snow storms and
plodding through drifts.
--You hope someone -gives -you-a-new-pair
of boots, because during all your shopping
you discovered your old ones leak. But
you'll probably get a pair of blue slippers
that will look lovely beside the pink pair,
the green pair and the yellow pair already
in your closet.
You say you're not sure you're read,y for
Christmas but it's too late now. Your head
pains, your back hurts, your feet ache and
you think you may be ,tooexhausted to
enjoy the day.
Cheer up! It's all a part of Christmas.
And in some moment before the celebra.
tion is over, you'll know it was all
worthwhile.
Maybe you'll hear • it in the Merry
Christmas wish of a stranger you meet on
the street. Or maybe you'll feel it in the
handshake of an old friend. Maybe it will
hapen in the singing of a Christmas carol
by candlelight on Christmas Eve.
Maybe you'll see it in the eyes of
children as they open their gifts on
.Christmas morning- And maybe you'll
know it by the hug that says Thank You. I
Love You and Merry Christmas.
