naturally turn into parties—
friends and relatives drop in
with holiday greetings, and
all of a sudden Ws a party!
Party games designed spe-
cially for the season can spur
on the fun;
For groups large or small,,
parties planned or impromp-
tu, the following, entertain-
ing ideas are. suggested..One way to "break tie ice,"
especially -when all' of the
guests are not well acquaint- a guessing„game. A. Christ
ed with each other, is to play
Christmas Personalty game can beplayed by pinning a name
such as "Rudolph,” "Santa"
or "Christmas Angel" an the
backs of several guests{ Then
each tries to guess his name
by hints others give:
Another way to start, a
party is to start the guests
out thinking! Have a little
contest and see who can
spell the most words with the
letters in "Chrismas."
Musical Candy Cane
A lively combination ver-
sion of Musical, Chairs and
Hot Potato makes use of
some unbreakable symbbl of
Christmas festivities -- a
small package, one of the
sturdier tree ornaments, a
big candy cane.
One person who is not play-
ing puts on a Christmas rec-
ord. Everyone sits in a close
circle and passes the object
around. When the musicsyd-
denly stops, the' person who
has the object in his hand is
out. This continues until the
circle is reduced to one — the
winner!r
-. Pitt the Slay
Children never tire of etc -
citing party games, while the
adults may .need arest. One
game that is loads,of fun for
kids to play and adults. tg
watch is a seasonal Version
of "Pin the Tail on the Don-
key." This one is ""Pin the.
Star on the Christnnas;ree."
It's easy to cut a large
shape of a Christmas 't'ree
out of gree, construction
paper and tape it to,a wall
or door, making sure it is low
enough for the littlest guest
to reach the top. -
Each child gets" a. paper
star with tape on the back
and ' takes his turn being
blindfolded and spun around.
The one who can place his
start' closest to the top of the
tree wins. ,

Christmas Tree
A Christmas Tree game
that everyone can play is a
guessing game. In "Christ-
mas Tree" the person who is
"it" laves the room while
the other players decide on
a secret word. It must be a
verb, or a word showing ac-
tion, such as run, eat or swim.
When "it" comes back, he
tries to guess the word by
asking questions using
"Christmas Tree" in place of
the word. He may ask, "Do
children Christma' Tree?"

Let us hold close

Altered Meaning
The meaning of "Merry
Christmas" has changed
somewhat over the years.
Originally, -"merry" meant
"blessed, peaceful, pleas-
ant."
As the saying goes, "If
we would -but light , one
candle," what a bright
world this would be !"
How about it,men and
women, the rich, the mid-
dling and the poor ... of
Christmas 1970 ?
The beauty and spirit of
the seas brings to mind
most wonderful gifts .. , friend-

riendship,. loyalty and good will. We thank.
you for yours and wish, you a Merry Christmas:
