Christmas Home Decorating Ideas Making your home look like a giant Christmas card is not only a lot of fun for the whole family, but something you can be proud of all during the holi- day season. Your lawn and home, including the doorway, windows, roof and porch, are a broad canvas upon which you can paint a Christmas greeting with light and color. How you do it is limited on- ly by your ingenuity and pock- etbook. But don't be carried away with enthusiasm, start in a small way, and build up your decorating scheme gradually. The decorated doorway is the focal point of holiday hos- pitality. Remember that after it has been decorated and shine a holiday floodlight on the doorway so no detail will be lost. Then the whole en- trance to your home will say, "Merry Christmas To You All". Indoor decorations become "alive" if made with colorful Christmas lights. Many readily - available materials, Christmas lights, and your own ingenuity, can make interesting, original ornaments for your home. For Christmas entertaining, color- ful luminous ornaments on ta- bles, buffets and fireplaces, or as window decorations, bring compliments galore to a proud hostess. The style of tree you select and the manner in which you light it are as personal as the decoration of your home. Style of decorating and lighting the indoor Christmas tree has varied down through the years, but the traditional, natural ever- green tree continues to be the favorite. And the favorite dec- oration continues to be multi- colored Christmas lights, with colored ornaments, icicles and tinsel. But Christmas trees have taken on a modern look, tool Christmas strings are now avail- able with white sockets and cords so that they will blend in with trees that are flecked or sprayed in soft pastel tints. Many modernists prefer tree lights of all one color, such as all red lights on a pink or gold tree. Some prefer to use no Christmas lights at all on the tree but instead to place a holiday floodlight or two where they will be concealed behind a piece of furniture and direct- ing the beams at the tree. In- cidentally, floodlights come in red, blue, yellow or green, as well as plain white, They are useful all year round for both indoor and outdoor illumination. Here's a new idea; Try ob- taining a tree this year that is sprayed in a soft pastel tint, then obtain one or more of the new white indoor Christmas tree wiring packages with twelve white sockets. Then purchase the new Satin Glow lights, which come in packages of five, with red, green, white, blue and yellow lights. IN DENMARK A Danish Christmas custom is the "Jul -bock", a long pole with a goat's head, whose duty it is to butt in when the child- ren misbehave. A husky lineman was brag, ging about his strength and bor- ing all those around him. Tired of the noise, a skin - and -bones member of the crew bet the braggart $25 that he could wheel a load in a wheel- barrow which the muscleman couldn't wheel. "You're on," said theboast- er. A wheelbarrow wasobtained. "All right," said the little gtlY. "Cet in." --Me Bell make him 5 ry a�H There's no finer gift for him than an 'Arrow' shirt.
