,Gast minute gifts got you in a
tizzy? Have you no time to shop
for that distant cousin who sud-
denly sent yOtt an unexpected
gift, or the baby-sitter, a holiday
hostess, a shut-in or the unex-
pected arrival?
Make it yourself quickly with
candy, and brighten it with a
package you can make or buy
anywhere and which can be used
long after the candy has dis-
appeared.
For instance, fill a brandy
Snifter with individually wrapped
stuffed dates. Wrap the dates in
pretty colored cellophane, now
available at almost any store.
Baskets abound everywhere in
all shapes, sizes and shades.
Fill a basket with Mocha-Nut
Logs, tie a ribbon on the handle
and watch the shut-in's eyes
light up with pleasure.
For the strictly practical on
your list, give your candies in
refrigerator dishes or contain-
ers for the freezer. The gour-
mets would delight in receiving
theirs in a casserole dish.
The gift is the candy and the
fact that you made it. Wrapped
in a cardboard box or antique
tea caddy the pleasure it gives
you and the receiver will last
well after Christmas.

Poinsettia, a traditional
Christmas plant, thrives best
in a well-lighted location and
a temperature of about 65 de-
grees F. The flowers of this
plant are inconspicuous, but a
colorful show is provided by the
large scarlet bracts. The red
variety is the most popular,
however, there are also white
and pink varieties.
To prevent yellowing and
dropping of the bottom leaves,
horticulturists with the Ontario
Department of Agriculture have
the following tips:
The poinsettia should be kept
out of cold draughts. Place
the plant in a window where it
will receive as much sun as
possible. In addition it should
not be allowed to dry out.
Plants may be carried over
to the next year. After "flower-
ing" rest the plants in a cool
location for 8 to 10 weeks
and let the soil dry out. How-
ever, do not let the stems be-
come so dry that the bark
shrivels.
After the rest period cut the
plants back part way, place in
a larger pot and supply water.
They should then be exposed
Christmas tree
Victorian style
Legend attributes the custom of
the Christmas Tree to Martin
Luther who, as he was returning
home one cold Christmas Eve,
observed that the thousands of
stars in the clear sky seemed to
be hanging to the branches of the
pines by the wayside. Wishing to
share the spectacle withhis fam-
ily, he cut the first Christmas
Tree and that night decked it with
star-bright candles for his loved
ones.
We are told the idea of the
Christmas Tree gradually spread
to most countries of Northern
Europe and then in 1841, Albert,
Queen Victoria's husband, de-
lighted the young Queen with the
first Christmas Tree in Windsor
Castle. By that time, ornaments
had been added to the tree's de-
coration the result of a legend
that on the night of the Nativity
all trees burst forth with fruit
and flowers in memory of the
birth of Christ.
To many, a Christmas Tree de-
corated in the Victorian style of
this design still symbolizes the
true spirit of the Yuletide.

Murtrie, Hensall.
