Christmas Is Just
Around the Comer
---------------—------------ ---------- ---
How many seasons in a year . . . Four, you say? I
think there are five—spring, summer, autumn, *winter . . .
and Christmas! Isn’t that right? And don’t you think it’s
wonderful to have Christmas come right in the middle of
the longest and dreariest season of the year,-—a season
within a season, as it were? Imagine winter without a
Christmas—week after week of wintry weather with more,
darkness than light, days of blizzards, followed by a white
blanket of snow. But just as we get terribly fed up with
the weather, along comes Christmas; -Christmas . . . with
all its colour and story, its beautiful traditions and spirit
of good will!
Then, if we are wise, we forget all about the ele
ments and set our hearts in tune for .singing. Away from
home, who lets the weather worry them anyway? We say,
“Ah, shucks, I’m going home, no matter what!’’ And, if
we are among the stay-at-homes, we look forward to our
folks coming for the Yuletide season. We work and,bake
and scheme. We Trim the tree and wrap the presents and,
although just about tired enough to drop, we greet every
one with a cheery “H-appy Christmas!” And have you ever
noticed, friends, that with every “Happy Christmas” that
we say, so part of it comes back to ourselves? We just
can’t come around wishing other folks happiness without
sharing in it too.
And another thought: Just as we welcome Christmas
in the middle of winter, isn’t it also possible to exper
ience an even greater sense of gladness when we remem
ber that in this troubled world, with its threats of war,
its strikes, disunity, and the hungry people, there is yet
always Christmas,

mothers telling the little children about the Christ child
that was born long years ago—-born to bring peace to a
troubled world. And, perhaps, as she tells it there will
creep into many a mother’s heart a new hope—ia peace
that passeth all understanding.
Friends, don’t let bitterness spoil this Christmas sea
son; don’t let ourselves think “Oh, what’s the use . . . All
this unrest, all these high prices—where’s it all going to
end?” Let us give ourselves a Christmas present of faith
in the future, and let us be content with the little things
of life—the friendly greeting, the little unexpected kind
nesses that come our way, and the happy comfortable feel
ing that comes to us with every spontaneous desire to help
make Christmas a little easier, a little brighter for some
one else. And where better could we start than with the
children—not just our children but children everywhere.
