There'll , be. many a Christmas light strung. . and greenery hang this weekend, and every family will have Its own Ideas on dec orating the house. - Bright ornaments are attrac tive to buy - and use, but it's the families who make popcorn strings, cedar garlands and tin foil stars who have the fun. ' An attractive decoration being used In a house this year are the small fir logs (about C Inches through, and' 20 inches long) which form holders for red can dies. Holes, bored to fit, and ends of the log cut oft at . an angle make the candle holders. They are surrounded by ' cedar boughs and holly. .The fireplace was center of in terest In the house, with a minia ture snow scene arranged on the mantel. Tiny cardboard nouses were lighted by Christmas tree lights, 'the electric cord was con cealed under cotton snow. Above the scene were many tinfoil stars. Christmas . morning has many traditions to follow and every family has its own. One decora tion enjoyed by European families of, some countries are the orange Kris Kringles which are made the night before and placed on the breakfast table, one at each child's place. : Use small oranges or tanger ines for the Kris Kringles. With a razor . blade, split quill tooth picks down from one end, almost to the ether,, making 5 or more thin strips. On the end of each put a f raisin, and stick the other end of the quill in the top of the orange. Put a small candle in the center of the toothpick and light It.' This makes a sort of spray, with raisins at the tips to weigh down shredded ends of the quill. Quill toothpicks may be bought these days at the drug store.
