Somehow time really got away from us this year. In all honesty it must be said that the two of us aren't such very good housekeepers at any time, and beginning about December 1, the dusting, window washing and general house chores sort of take back seat to preparations for the holidays. Santa might find his way in if he really came down the chimney, but he'd never make it through the upstairs hall. It's filled with unwrapped presents, ribbons, stickers, paper and all the rest of the Christmas clutter, as well as a basket of ironing to" be dorte and another one filled with mending. The same goes for Potppurri's "second office." It never looks very tidy, and now it has a card table in the corner covered with address books, cards and stationery, and stacked hither and yon are some packages which are waiting for the Christmas tree, piles and piles of newspaper 'and magazines waiting to be read, ' some empty boxes which we're sure we'll need before the presents are all ready - and Just plain junk which we keep promising ourselves to throw away, or something. Potpourri's new found friend, Ada Castillo, enclosed a little bit of poetry with her card which could have come straight from our typewriter, if only we could write poetry. It reads (we hope the author will forgive us for a slight re arrangement of the lines to fit into this column) "Some times before sleep I lie in sudden fright, thinking of the. clutter in my closets, of unanswered letters, aging laundry, and waiting bills, and the icebox filled with half-eaten things. What if I should die before I wake, to stand before the Gates, an unfinished man soiled and askew!" There is more to Whitney Balliett's poem, but these lines tell our fears per fectly. The smart and industrious Germans have been respon sible for many inventions and "firsts" and among those are the first Christmas tree ornaments of glass which are now familiar, in almost every land where the Christian religious festival is observed. It is said that the ornaments, hand-made, originated in the little glassmaking town of Lauscha in Cen tral Germany. The early decorations were brought to Ameri ca by families migrating from Germany and England, who included them among their prized possessions. Later they were imported for sale, were eventually copied by the Japa nese and Czechoslovakians, and sent all over the world. This year it is believed that over a billion ornaments will be hung on the nation's yule trees. Many of them are now made on a ribbon machine which was originally de veloped to make electric light globes at the rate of more than 2,000 per minute. When the ornaments are first formed they are of clear glass. They are silvered on the inside, then lacquered in many colors on the outside. The modern ornaments are much less fragile than the original ones, and often do not break, even though dropped. Potpourri dashed into the postoffice Friday morning and became the last person in a line of 6 or 8 adults waiting in front of one of the windows. After a few moments we noticed that although the other window was open, no one was standing there. As we wondered why they weren't ac cepting packages at the other window, a man came in. walked up to it and at once was waited on. So we joined him and inquired "why are all those people standing in line over there when this window is open also?" The man on the inside of the window said patiently "I don't know" and the man on the outside said "Because people are stupid." Well, it's a poor postoffice that doesn't provide at least one good laugh at the expense of "the people" at this busy time of the year. Some one down In Los Angeles who is supposed to know, says that the nation's 26 million dog owners are expected to spend 40 million dollars for luxury Christmas gifts for their pets this year. In addition to this, another 30 million dollars will be spent as the regular monthly bill for prepared food for dogs according to Bob Bartos, prominent dog authority and manager of the Friskies research kennels. The UPI reporter added that gifts for the doggy set under the Christmas tree will include such items as mink-trimmed coats, rhinestone collars and perfumes with such doggone names as Kennel No. 9 and scent-station. A woman at a party not long ago told me that some nutritionists in this country declare that dogs in the United States are better nourished than their masters. ' , Maybe the well-dressed, intelligent looking man on the outside of the postoffice window last Friday morning has some justification for his remark. We keep grumbling about Christmas, and saying how commercialized it is and that Amercians have lost the real spirit and meaning of the day (and we have - in some ways) but about this time every December we give in. Whatever it is, and whatever it has become, Potpourri still wouldn't like to live where Christmas wasn't celebrated. Merry ChristmasI-O.S.
