Remember the story of Charles
Dickens fame when Scrooge a
scrimping,scratching, covetous
old sinner was changed and
began, to have hearts for other
people about him.
Christmas has a magjc of its-
own when people 'become more
friendly and thoughtful-of others.
The real spirit of ChristmaS is tfie'
spirit of giving not getting.
God gave us the gift of his ..only
son tb be a "Saviour of Men" the
world over. May the 'spirit of
Christmas remain 'with -us
throughout the coming year.
"Peace and good will toward
men" (the song of the angels).
During advent days we are
hearing daily, Christmas songs
from tapes ' played on the
tanelreCorder.
"Silent Night" perhaps the
most popular carol,"'Holy Night"
a classic, the "convetry Carol"
perhaps •not so familiar and
written in a ,minor key, "The
Drummer Boy:' different but
delightful, and a campitatively
new one.
During` my' time of searching
for material for our Carol Service,
given b37'S.P.S. annually..
I would 'love to hear "Jesu
Bambino" which includes "0
Come All Ye Faithful". It is
- beautiful and i'eTeat favourite -
A special thanks to Unit 2, of
Northside United Church Women
for oranges sent to the Home and
also to the. U.C.W. for pots of
individual poinsettias, sent to
several of the residents.They
make a welcome, spot of colour to
brighten our rooms.
i was'pleased lo have a pre
Christma's visit with Jim Watson,
a former pupil, with his son Jim.
Jim used to delight us at 'the Jr.
Red Cross meetings when he
sang "The Surrey ' with the
Fringe on top" in his native
Scottish brogue.
