newpaper but I'm sure it
would be jUst as easy to make
them out of all of the bills
that we get for the presents:
that will look very nice under
the tree on Christmas mor-
ning;.
How to get the menet' that.
will pay for these presents is
a problem that most kids
come up aainst at the end of
Novernbtr or the 'beginning
of December, The other day 1
was babysitting and the little:
girl asked me bow she could`
ever afford' .to buy presents.
for all of her friends and
family.
It is quite a problem if you
aren't old enough to babysit
or have a paper route or a
part-time job. The only thing
that I could' tell her was to
help her mom with the dishes
or look after her littlebrother
and maybe she might get
some mone
y. at' . other
things: you. could waydo to earn
money for Christmas pre-
sents include shovelling
side walks when the snow
finally makes its appearance.
I- asked some of the kids
around Seaforth how they got
money. presentsto buy Christmas
Annette '•Blom of RR 2,
Kippen says, "I don't have to,
work to get extra money in
the fall because I work in the
summer and put that money
in the bank." Annette also
said that last year she sold "
greeting cards for the Junior
Sales Club of Canada. She
found out about it in :some of
the magazines : and other
books that she reads:' When :I'
asked Annette is she ever
makes any of the presents.
that she gives to her family,
she laughed: "No., 'cause
I'm not artistic enough!"
Another' girl said "I like to
make things•, for Christmas
because they're a: lot more
cheap!" She used the ex-
ample of making macrame
plant hangers. She said that
$2 or $3 could make enough
plant hangers for'' at feast:
four people. ' That includes
the price of the jute and
beads if you want theme
Plant hangers are much more
fun to make than • something
in a kit because you canmake
your own original designs.
Brenda Pullman of North.
Main Street said "I babysit
on weekends to get extra
money for Christmas and
work for Mrs. Miller, the
caterer on weekends too. Ii
usually babysit only when
I'm not working •' for ;Mrs.
Miller:
Brenda also included that
she makes things out of
macrame and needlepoint for
relatives and friends li then
asked Brenda if her family
ever drew names out of hats
to see. who they'd buy
presents for instead of buy-
ing presents for everyone, as
many people do. Brenda said
"Sometimes we do but some,
times it's.too busy for us to
get,'around to pulling, names
out of a hat." '
Another girl, Allison Scott,
said that shesaves her
alloWattcet up and if she
doesn't get enough to pay for
all of her Christmas presents
she does odd jobs around the
"house and gets paid, for
those.
Allison also said that she
often makes plaques out of
plaster of paris and jewellery

Leanne Whitmore of R.R.
4 Walton, said that she and:.
her sister Melissa save up,
their allowances and money
that they get from their
Mom. "Melissa and;I got 10c.
from Mom once for just
washing the: dishes!" Leanne
recalled. When 1 asked
Leanne if she ever made
presents for Christmas she
said', "No, but we make
Christmas cards and wrap-
ping paper. Mom buys sten
cils and we make the designs.
on paper,
Leanne also added that
although she didn't know
how, youcould always knit a.
sweater for someone. "We
don't pick names . in the
family ' cause we like to give
and receive from everyone
but we do pick names at
school. i
These are just some of the
ways that': people earn and
save money to buy Christmas
presents. You can save by.
making some of the, presents
that you have to buy for or
you can buy for just one

earn money by doing odd
