A little rehding
produced thefPliowing
information on two
Christmas customs - the
creche or crib scene and
the singing of carols, In
1223 St, Francis in-
troduced the first real
replica of the `manger
scene' in a ,little town of
Greccio in Italy. From
this start the practice of
erecting a nativity or
creche, often In a chur-
chyard or public street,
became a custom in
many towns. Villagers
would gather around to
pray and sing - then
continue singing as they
winded , their way home
through 'the streets. This
led to the beginning of
caroling as we know, it
today. As the years
passed it also became
known as "wassailing"
and even the Puritans,
who abolished Christmas
observances in England
for a time, could not
suppress the carols.
Printed sheets of carols
were bootlegged for a
penny and the poets and
musicians kept right on
composing and people
singing as they still do
today.
Which leads us to add
that many have come into
the News -Record office to
pick up the free carol, and
song sheets which are

Bluewater Newspaper
Network of which we are

plenty of the •free carol
sheets left for the asking.

You can design your dwn wrapping paper. A present wrapped in
specially printed paper can be a very thoughtful gift. Show
someone you care about them by taking the time to create unique
wrapping paper for their present.,
To print your own paper you need:
1. paper — a large enough sheet to
wrap your present. in. Tissue paper or
a flattened shopping bag are good
ideas.
2. paint -- as many colours as you
want
• 3. saucers or bowls to put the
paint in •
4. something absorbent — paper
towel, an old sponge, facial tissue,
cotton balls
5. a stamp to print with
Directions:
I. Get the stamp ready. A stamp can he made t rum mandifferent
things. Anything that is small and can be picked up in.'.our hand
`Makes a good stamp. A crumpled up piece of paper. a feat. a pencil
eraser, a rock, or piece of wood arc just a feu things that make
good stamps. Left Over pieces of raw vegetables make interesting
stamps too. You can carved a potato or carrot to make an unusual
shape. You can use as many stamps as you like to make the design
or picture yob want on your wrapping paper.
2. Get the paint ready. Put about a tablespoon of paint in a saucer
or bowl. You can use as many colours as you want. Make a pad to
stamp on by placing in the paint something absorbent. When you
press ybur starhp onto the pad just enough paint should come off t o
make a clean print on your paper.
3. Make the design or picture. Hold your stamp, push it dow n on
the•pad in the saucer of paint. and then press it onto your paper.
Thoughtful suggestion:
Before you design your paper think about who the present is for. II'
the present is for someone who likes the colour red, you could use
red paint. And if that person likes plants, your design or picture
could be about, plants.
