Many people, with the total exception of child ren, have come to believe that Christmas has be come loo commercial. In a spiritual sense, this is true to some extent and 1he current widespread campaiRil to "Put Christ Back Into Christmas" de serves the support and belief of ail of us. Economically, however, no other holiday or festive season contributes so much to the welfare of the world. Christmas has hardly passed into the new year belore thousands are at work on toys and myriads of other Christmas specialties for the next holiday. Each year, as the lights of Christmas trees twinkle on a wintry night, how many of us think'of the millions who have gained employment through the Christmas shopping in dustry? And yet. "too commercial'' may be an overstate ment. Is it too wrong, once a year, to make the dominant theme one of giving, rather Than of receiving? Christmas, and the spirit of Christmas, has endured wars and great chaos through cen turies as a time of joyousness and happiness, and giving has always been an important part of the lesti'. ities. The picture of the family united, with presents opened, and children wrapped in the joyousness of childhood's greatest emotion is still, and we be lieve will remain, the Christmas story.
