Week from Saturday night is open season for Reindeer— Remember how we used to
try to ambush Santa and his eight reindeer steeds on Xmas eve ? Gee, but what a thrill
when we found those funny marks around the front door where Santa had parked his
sled. How the dickens he got down the chimney was a mystery, hut the Xmas Dinner
was no mystery. Mother did it, and that explained why everything was so good. Givr
mother the materials and she always makes goo«l. That's our part, and we won't fail
her this year.
