If Santa Claus only leaves presents in the homes where
everything is clean and orderly, he'll just have to skip
Pappy and Potpourri this time. 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.
