Half the fun and sparkle of
Christmas morning lies in seeing
it through the eyes of a child. It's
a day that belongs to children,
really, so why not let them take
part in the holiday preparations
as well as in the day itself?"
One of the best ways to do this
without slowing down the neces
sary actual preparations is to let
the small fry wrap the gifts that
they will hand or send to others.
This- will give them Something to
do (keeping them out of your hair)
and at the same time, let them
feel that they're participating in
the holiday excitement.
If you feel that Christmas gift
wrapping is too difficult for a
small child to attempt, remember
that kindergarten-age children
work wilh construction paper,
build miniature houses and farm
yards and love making things with
their hands.
If, for inslance, the gift is light
in weight, it's a simple matter lo
cut two socks from any gift-wrap
paper and tape Ihe edges together
with matching colored tape. This
also is a good solution for an odd
shaped gift.
You 11 have to work along with
your child to get him started but
once he has the idea, he'll want
to do it all himself. And what if
his efforts aren't perfect?
As decoration for any package,
suggest that he try cutting a
Christmas tree from green con
struction paper. This is done by
folding paper in half and cutting
simple (trce pattern. To trim the
tree, mane a cnain ot rco joops
Irani paper. These are the regular
kindergarten loops, taped or glu
ed together.
A toy drum is created from any
round box or an oatmeal box cut
up. To cover the side ot box, cut
a strip the exact height ot box and
long enough, to go around with a
bit for overlap. Cut a round piece
of paper for the top and fasten it
on with tape. As bow trim, tie red
and green lollypops together with
red ribbon and tape them to top
of tho drum.
For a snowman bow, use two
white pom-pom bows to form the
body and top them with a small
silver tree ornament for the head.
Hat is cut from black construction
paper. Eyes and buttons can be
cut from any colored paper to
blend in wilh gift paper used on
box that snowman adorns.
Santa's pack is easy to copy.
Cut gift-wrap paper in shape of
an ordinary paper bag, taping
three sides. This is especially
good for small, lightweight toys
used for Christmas parties at
school or church.

THE GROCERY BOY:
Even though he tracks up the kitchen
floor right after you've mopped It, he
always rushes right over when you're
in tho middle of a recipe and find
you're in the Just-out department.
THE MILKMAN:
You almost never see him (we hope)
because he comes so early in the
morning! But because Bossy's by
product is always there you're tempt
ed to believe the bottle of milk just
grows on your doorstep.
THE BARBER:
Cuts that cowlick just the way you
like it and doesn't mention the fast
graying temples and the bald spot
that your mirror tells you Is getting
larger. Knows when to discuss Iho
political situation and when to keep
qulctl
THE POSTMAN:
He not only braves the snow and Ice
and summer heat, but Ignores the
pants-hungry look In your watchdog's
eye particularly around the first of
the mouthl
THE COOK:
To love, to cherish till death do you
part. She may make you add pounds
you don't need or want because her
cooking is so good, but that's your
fault not hersl (It's probably mother)
and in that case you won't have forgotten.
THE COP ON THE CORNER:
Always seems to give an extra cheery
greeting in the early morning and has
a way sometimes of forgetting where
his pencil is when you know you de
nerve a ticket. (If Ihe Chief reads this,
we're only kidding!) . . . And what
would the kids do without l)iml '
THE PAPER BOY:
He's almost a Jr. Santa Claus him
self . . , brings something for every
bodyfor Papa a cover to hide be
hind at the breakfast table, for the
kids the comics and for you If you
don't mind our saying so Miller's
budget helping ads each day.
THE TEACHER:
She takes up where you leave offl
Shes' practically a second mother to
your offspring only she really has
to spare the rod. Sugar coats lessons
Into something almost as Interesting
as Hopalong.
