Christmas is the last major happening for the youngsters especially when that jolly old fellow with the belly that jiggles like a bowl full of jelly and the hearty ho -ho appears. Sure he is even. better than E.T. The spirit of giving abides world- wide and the little bit of Scrooge in all of us is forgotten. if there were ever a gift unwrapping contest for the fastest, the wee folk would win for certain. What took Mrs, Santa Claus hours to wrap is demolished in seconds. That old express- ion. "curiosity killed the rat". proves true for the little people have gone through all nine lives of the cat by the time all the presents are opened. The snow has returned as we expected and what a good thing. Who can shop for Christmas when it is 50 degrees out? Sure one starts to think about cutting the grass not shovelling snow. Just think what the children who get toboggans and skis would think if there were no snow. With alittle more than a week left before Christmas, shoppers are rechecking their lists and picking up that tittle something for the baby- sitter or good friend. All that's left now is the holiday season baking and when that starts, the diet you spent all year working on suddenly is gone. but then it's Christ- mas. Dieting and the economy have a great deal in common. When they both fail the end result is the same, the country and you have gone to Keep your chin up, things will get beter as the New Year is just around the corner and a new set of resolutions are to be made. As the year passes again and man and his country struggle to get back in shape. we all remember the turkey and stuffing and plum pud- duing we enjoyed on Christ- mas and all that we gained from this marvellous season.
