The Christmas Game
People become a bit frantic
as Christmas approaches, and I
don't blame them, Every year,
despite fervent pledges to keep
it simple, the holiday season
seems to begin earlier, grow
mare garish, and finally turn
into a three-ring circus before
the last stocking is hung.
While we all deplore the ex-
pense and exhaustion involved,
we are all ardent players of that
great North American game
known as "Needle Your Neigh-
bor".
That's why the simple little
candle in the window has
evolved into that hideous phan-
tasmagoria of colored lights all
over the front of the house.
That's why the few sprigs of
evergreen over the mantel have
evolved into a living 'room re-
sembling a spruce swamp.
Regardless of such things as
a happy fancily gathering, the
pleasure of the old carols, the
joy of giving, Christmas is not
really a success unless we can
come up with something that
will put the neighbors' noses
out of joint.
And this is where I come in.
I can't bear to see people un -
vice -president, Mrs. Annie Fink -
president, lIrs. Carl Willert;
beiner; secretary, Mrs. Hubert
Schilbe; treasurer, Miss Inez
Yungblut.
happy. Except my neighbors.
After a lot of thought, I've come
up with a few pre -Christmas
suggestions that will turn your
neighbor green with envy, red
with rage, in the proper colors
of the season.
How about a Yule log this
year? Get that old mattress
out of the attic. Or off the bed
in the guest room. Saturate it
in gasoline. Roll it up, tie it
with ropes and hide it in the
garage.
On Christmas Eve, when your
neighbor is gloating through
the curtains at the vulgar nativ-
ity scene in four colors on his
front lawn, take out your Yule
log and burn it on your lawn.
When he rushes out—and he
will—tell him it's the genuine
article, ordered from England,
Then watch hint burn. By the
way, don't over -do it. Don't try
burning your Yule log in your
two -foot -wide fireplace.
A variation on this theme is
an eternal flame. If you don't
have gas, have a line run in to
your front lawn. Tell your
neighbor the guys who are tear-
ing up your lawn are looking
for a leak in your sewer. This
will please him.
Then, some night, half an
hour after he turns on his elec-
trical monstrosity, flip your' gas
switch, and slip out and light
your eternal flame. The fiend-
ish ingenuity of your plan, the
simple dignity of your litle light
burning away, in wind and
snow, will drive him wild. It'll
be worth the few hundred bucks
it costs.
This year, forget all about
that junk for your living room:
Chris t m a s candles, spruce
boughs, sprigs of holly, colored
lights in the ch.andlier. Oh, let
your wife go through the mo-
tions. Women enjoy such fu-
tilities.
But a couple of nights before
Christmas, when your wife is on
a last mad shopping scramble,
throw all that garbage out.
Then take two gallons of paint,
one red and one green, and
paint everything in your living
room one or the other. Your
neighbor will be livid with envy
when you ask him over for re-
freshments. Your wife may be
any color.
A variation on this is to let
your kids help you paint, and
not ask your neighbor over.
Christmas morning, you send
the kids over at seven a.m., in
appropriate colors, and they ask
him over,
Speaking of refreshments,
how about a wassail bowl this
year? It's quite simple to make,
and bound to impress. Take any
large bowl or small washtub.
Half fill with amt -brown ale.
It's an old Elizabethan recipe,
and don't forget to tell your
neighbor this.
Stir in several wassail s.
