Plan for Christmas
Tree Trimming Party
Here's happy holiday idea
tree-trimming partyl Plan
it for Christmas Eve or a few
nights before Christmas, de
pending upon the family's pret
ence. Before the party, unpack all
the tree ornaments and have
them in boxes near the tree.
Check all the strings of tree
lights beforehand and replace
all burned-out bulbs. Check
the supply of tinsel and icicles
and replenish, if necessary.
Have the Christmas tree all set
up in the standard before the
guests arrive.
Keep the party small. Invit
ing only a few of the family's
closest friends. Plan to serve
a simple buffet supper, but have
the table gay with Yuletide
decorations. A favorite casser
ole dish, salad, hot rolls, a spec
ial Christmas cake, and coffee
would make a tempting meal
that could be easily and attrac
tively served.
After supper, let everyone
help trim the Christmas tree!
They'll all find it heart-warming
fun. Later, serve punch
while they admire the beauti
fully-decorated tree.
A party of this sort may wen s
become a favorite holiday oc
casion and a Christinas tradi
tion in the family.

Decorate your stairway with
cards. Starting at the top, place
green branches on the railing,
fastening with florists wire or
