YULE LOG CUSTOM

ChristMas for twelve days instead
of four. The celebration began With
the lighting of a huge log, Which
wits kept burning for twelve days.
At the end of that time the fire
was extinguished and a remnant
of the fire kept for the following.

Ever stop to wonder what you
really want out of life? Some
people seem to know from the time
they .a.re kids, and go after it, let-
tiag nothing stioul in their way.
These birds can be pretty ruthless.
When they come roaring along the
path behind you, it's just as well
to step smartly out of their way,
if you want to avoid being bowled
over.
I've always known what I didn't
want mit of life, but have never had
a clear idea of ;what I did want.
As the years go by, I find that it
doesn't matter much, anyway. ItIv-
ery so often, as you are charging
madly along toward some real goal,
life will give you an unexpected
shove and you find yourself totter,-
ing off in a new direction. Now, I
just .slumble off along the new
traelt, and it seems to work out
fine.

This annoys my wife deeply. Like
most, women, she doesn't take noth-
offa life, She believes that life,
Or fate, should be taken 1-ty the
scruff of the neck and given a good
shaping. "Surely you know what
you AVANT out of life," she cries
in exasperation, demanding that I
name it, or them. I mumble some-
thing vague and low, about want-
ing a. little peace-Butt for'the life
of me, I can never name anything.
concrete that's my heart's desire.
I don't want a lot of money,
though take, and spend, any
given amounts, I have no desire
for power. I don't even want good
looks, my vanished youth, my
once-luxuriant hair, a big car, an
expensive wardrobe, a. second wife,
obedient children, a posh home, pu-
blic acclaim or private respect.
And it's just as well I don't because
most of those things are out of
roach.
But that's all pretty negative and
I don't blame my wife and kids for
thing irritated. They've been at me
for weeks, and they can't even get
me to say what I want for Christ-
i
flies. I realize how unfair this is,
so I've decided to co-operate, and
to list here exactly what I want
most in the world. I'll expect to
find it under the tree.
I want two years off, No work
of any kind, This gift is to be
wrapped in a magic carpet that will
transport me anywhere, in the
twinkling of an eye, free. I would
dearly love to see the, places and
people of the world. But I'd want
Lo get home for the week-ends, even
from Hong Kong or the Kalahari
Desert.

Nex,t, I want ten more ehildren,
as bright and lovable and annoying
as the two .1 have, They'd range in
age from Itug;h, who is 14; down
to six weeks old. Among them,
:Ltd like a sprinkhng Hof hiaeh and
brown and yellow ones, for variety.
And for the Old' Girl's sake, about
four trained "nannies", done up in
the smile piudoure.
Third, I would like. three or four
times in - my life, when I was cruel'
or cowardly, or mean, given back
to me so that I 'could. try to do
better this time. All the other
times, when I was thoughtless or
lazy, or rude, or vain, or pompous,
or silly, or crabby, or weak, I will
let go, But I'd like those few back,
suitably gift wrapped.
Under the tree I would like to
find, in small Packages, the follow-
ing: a day next spring in which I
would catch my limit of fat, speck-
led trout; a day next summer in
which I would shoot a game of golf
in the low seventies. Just one of •
each, please.
That's enough. That will do for
this Christmas. You'll notice that I
have asked 'only for personal
things. I could have asked for many
other things I want, such as food
for all the hungry of the world,
peace on earth, a long and healthy
life and a big pension for everyone.
But these are outside the limited
Scope 'of the family's resources, so
I've merely asked for a few small,
selfish things.
