Hundreds of years ago,
when a Persian emperor re
ceived a potato, he thought
it was one of the greatest
gifts ever given him. Persia
was then suffering a famine,
. and from one potato enough
seed potatoes could be
grown to feed the entire
nation. No wonder the
emperor was impressed.
King Nebuchadnezzar
created one of the Seven
Wonders of the Ancient
World the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon as a
gift for his bride who longed
to recapture the beauty of
the green hills of her former

Happily, the Pilgrims,
who gave us their Thanks
giving, did not give us their
Christmas traditions as well!
Nowhere was the cele
bration of Christmas more
elaborate and festive than
in 16th and 17th century
England. Celebrations some
, times beginning as early as
December 16 lasted till 12th
day, January 6. Everyone
kept the holiday except
the cooks and kitchen ser
vantsand that small minor
ity that frowned on frivolity.
Once they settled in
America, 'those somber Pil
grims and Puritans celebrat
ed Christmas as a time of
religious dedication aid so
lemnity. The Puritans actual
ly forbade under penalty of
fine any joyous Christmas
celebrations. '
New Englanders and oth
er Americans were eventual
ly won over to more exuber
ant English and European
traditions. The sparkle of
Christmas trees, the giving of
gifts, the reunions of fami
lies are among our treasured
Christmas customs.
Today, most holiday
hostesses are also the Christ
mas cooks. Festive roasts
have remained popular as
holiday fare because they
require relatively little at
tention and preparation. The
cooking of these traditional
foods is made faster with a
new convection oven, like
the Farberware Convection
Turbo-Oven. Without heat
ing up your kitchen, this
portable oven will cook
juicy and delicious roasts.
Compact enough to fit on
' a kitchen counter, spacious
enough , for an 18-pound
turkey, the convection oven
can reduce cooking time by
a third over a conventional
oven. This is thanks to fan
circulated air. It also broils
and bakes the way pro
fessional ovens bake.

lover who set a shining
example was Napoleon: he
gave Josephine a tiara
blazing with 880 diamonds
and moved nations for her.

A hotel baron named
George Boldt tried to re
capture his youth by means
of an unusual gift to his
wife. He bought one of the
Thousand Islands in the
St. Lawrence River, then
had it carved in the shape
of a heart. He also built a
castle similar to those on
the German Rhine River
where he had lived as a boy.
But good advice to gift
givers searching for a perfect
present for a loved one is
this from Ralph Waldo
Emerson: "The only gift is
a portion of thyself."
