CHRISTMAS Is the children's time
with all the intriguing activities
of the season centering around
them ...
Quick last minute shopping tours,
with time out to gaze in gorgeous store
windows or to drop money in the Sal
vation Army bucket to accompaniment
of the tinkling bell.
Trimming the Christmas tree is al
ways a near-Christmas eve highlight
as is gathering around the piano to sing
the beloved carols.
But most exciting is hanging the
stockings and going to bed while "vis
ions of sugar plums dance through their
heads."
Yet not all the activities center
around the children, for it is a time of
festive adult gaiety as well, with a large
number of parties filling every day of
the week between Christmas and New
Year's.
