For them, it is a time of hushed whisper, mysterious secrets, hidden packages, bright expectation, beautiful stories of the first Christmas and fanciful fab les of jolly Santa Claus. But most of all, Christmas for children is a time of receiving. For youth, Christmas is a period of both receiving and giving. Friendships are remembered, kindnesses paid back, relatives sent gifts, but still for youth the import ance of receiving is uppermost, for there are so many earthly things that youth desires. And then as youth fades into fuller maturity and new home ties are found and other friends are made, Christ mas reaches its full significance. For in this season it becomes a time of giving; of making others happy; pre paring delicious dinners; bringing families together; re membering personal sacrifices, and helping others who are unable to help themselves. Then as life begins to fade and hands that were once so capable in preparing dinners and making gifts begin to shake, Christmas again becomes a season of receiv ing, loved not so much for the actual gifts but for the thoughtfulness that prompted them and for the joy oi being remembered. But for young and old, Christmas means joy and hap piness ; the renewal of family ties; the recognition of the £ uonds of love and friendship, and the happiness of giv ing and receiving at a time of reverent remembrances.
