'Hurry up and open it! I
want you to see what I made for
you!" Blue-eyed little Janie
was dancing up and down with
excitement, her blond curls
bouncing with each step as she
waited for her mother to open
the Christmas gift. Finally the
last bit of gay Christmas wrap
ping was taken off and there
w3 the present itself a gay,
colorful flower picture cut
from a magazine and framed in
deep green construction paper.
There was paste smeared on the
big yellow daffodil in the cen
ter of the picture, and the green
paper frame was cut crooked,
but Janie's mother liked it, and,
satisfied, Janie went on to the
important business of the eve
ning opening the pile of
packages in front of her.
Janie wasn't very old, but she
had found something important
something a lot of older peo
ple still don't know the true
meaning of Christmas. She saw
that "it is more blessed to give
than to receive," and that what
you do give must be given with
love and good wishes, because
"the gift without the giver is
bare."
Christmas doesn't mean the
rush of gay parties held each
year during the holidays or the
expensive gifts given without
much thought to anything but
the dollars and cents they repre
sent. They are as much out of
place at Christmas as a slick
new '52 convertible would have
been beside the lowly stable in
Bethlehem.
Christmas is the happiest sea
son of the whole year, and it is
a beautiful season too, because
Christmas, if everybody believ
ed as Janie does. But surely
sometime the sun on Christmas
Day will rise on a serene world
a world that will have no
more Pearl Harbors, no more
Koreas a world at peace.
Then the words of that beauti
ful song which the angels sang
so many long years ago over the
quiet plains of Bethlehem can
come true, and there really will
be "peace upon earth, good will
unto all men!"
it is a time of peace and good
will and hope for a better world
to come. All our brothers and
boy-friends who are spending
their Christmas fighting in the
rugged, muddy hills of cold
