The Little Drummer Boy . :When the Christ Child was born, many -beautiful gifts were brought to the tltunger, Gifts of great beauty and splendor. But one small boy who was very poor had ,nothing to offer the Lord, and he was very sad. Then he thought, "1 can play my drum for Him" and so he did. Pa -rum m -pup-gum. a-rum-pumtpum. NHe played. the Baby Jesus smiled, showing that at Christmas the gift of love is the best gift of all. This year, for the first time it was decided to journey from Toronto to Ottawa by bus instead of by plane or train as has been the usual custom. The waiting at the Toronto Bus Terminal for the Express bus to Ottawa was antics ated with a bit of anxiety having heard some gruesome tales of lone women being beaten up and robbed in washrooms there. That was unlikely in mid-afternoon, but, being a bit of a coward, the possibility of 'that happening was avoided by refrainii g from using such a facility. After fidgeting in a long, line waiting to purchase tickets the bus was boarded and it left immediately arriving in Ottawa almost an hour ahead of schedule. After the down -at -the -heel mussy appear - mice of the Toronto bus terminal the one in Ottawa was a pleasant surprge. Clean, and well-equipped, the large returant, where one was given courteous attention, was a relaxing place to enjoy a good cup of cbffee and a sandwich, or a meal, after the long bus trip, while waiting to be picked up after my • unexpected early arrival. This year has 'indeed been a Merry Christmas for me, surrounded by members of my family, son, grandsons, granddaughters, of various ages, from 10 to early 20s,' along with' their friends and an almost -three-year- old great-granddaughter. A Christmas Day call from the missing family members in Winnipeg made the day a very happy one. it has remained, since that day, a very pleasant holiday season. Far from the normal half dozen in the home, there has been the coming and going Each day of that many more to keep things lively. It cannot be described as calm and peaceful at times but the days are filled with good fun and laughter with enough restful quiet moments to keep great -grandma from nervous exhaustion. di. a••«•• In an easy'Chair, gazing at the lovely Targe Christmas tree, boughs alight with twinkling light and shimmering icicles, piled lavishly beneath with gifts, 1 could but think how lucky some families are and how bleak this Christmas, devoid of such things, must be for so many Canadian families. Do the,lucky ones really appreciate how fortunate they are? Would it not be great if some benevolent authority would declare it illegal for bills to be sent in December and January. Tax bills, utility bills, fuel bills, telephone bills, insurance payments, repair bills, credit card bills, mortgage payments etc. etc. all seem to come flooding in in what is supposed to be the happy holiday season.
