He's aller gic to evergreen. Saint Nick makes j him violently ill. Almost everything connected with Christmas sends him to bed in pain. Right now his mother is nursing him back to health following an ac cidental brush with a Christmas tree at school. It was his first con tact with Christmas, 1954. 1 His mother, Mrs. Cecil Garrison, said it was! almost inevitable. tJ:aIway-''take him out I of school i when they start having trees because we don't want the other children to miss that joy on account of Scott." she said. "This year we were too late." i Scott was four years old before doctors finally learned the reason for his deathly illness every Christmas season. Since then his father, an instructor of instrument al music, and his mother have carefully planned each Christmas, hoping to keep Scott well. j ) 1 Generally the whole Garrison family goes into hibernation during the holidays. For Scott it's a long, lonely period. ' f And even: with precautions Scott abrupt always bumps into Christ mas somewhere. He's avoided Christmas enough to stay well only twice. ; t It's the smell of mothballs that makes Scott sick when he gets anywhere near anyone with a Santa Claus suit. The sight of Christmas candy makes him death ly ill. The same with ! evergreen. But Scott accepts his plight phil osophically and has not complained even though , he probably ; will spend Christmas Day again this year in bed. : I i f, "I don't mind it muchj except that I always have to miss school right before Christmas," he said. ; Scott can look forward to a few months of normal living when the Yaletide season passes. : But when Easter approaches he has to go ; back into hibernation again. : . i ; It's the Easter eggs they make him violently UL i Headhunting as a ceremonial was formerly practiced by peo ples in all parts of the world.
