However, I expect it isn’t a world-shattering event, one way or another. The boss is taking a few weeks off during the holidays —so if things seem a little dif ferent around here—they are! Our family from Medford will be here, the Lord and the weather permitting, and our daughter will be home from college. So we expect to have a very nice family visit. My husband and I always par ticularly look forward t o spoiling our grandchildren a little. « • * Speaking of Christmas—I have always felt a little smug about being particular to spell the word in its entirety— when suddenly the other day I was reading that Xmas is very proper. The use of Xmas for Christmas originated in the early Christian church, ac cording to World Book ency clopedia. In Greek, X is the first letter of Christ’s name. It often was used as a holy symbol. * • * Christmas celebrations once were so rowdy that the Puri tans in England in the early 1640’s legally forbade the ob servance of Christmas. The Blue Laws of Massachusetts Bay Colony and New Haven Colony once forbade the bak ing of mince pie—don’t really know why. Perhaps too much “spirit” in them. ♦ • * Did you know that some stores depend on Christmas shoppers for about one fifth of the sales for the entire year—Green Christmas? Ev ery year we have good in tentions (I do at least) to do our shopping early—like in January! But it never seems to work out that way, either from lack of money or enthus iasm. Oh Well, I am all full of good intentions (early) for my New Year’s Resolutions. The other day I got provoked at myself for charging so much so destroyed most all of my credit cards. So what hap pened? Today I saw a real good buy on an item we need ed—and had the store send it out. Card or not—my credit was good over the phone! ♦ » ♦ I heard a young college fel low talking about Coffee Houses the other day—and didn’t realize they were so popular. Guess in the larger cities they really draw the Teen Age crowds. From coast to coast young people are es tablishing them—doing their own decorating, cooking, wait ing on tables and In general giving them a place to go to have fun and find creative expression. Budding folk singers are often found in these establish ments—and it seems to be a blamed good idea. Speaking of coffee—It was n’t always a social drink. In its earliest days it was con sidered a cure for any type of ailment. The Arabians, for instance, considered it an ex cellent stomach medicine. The English up until 1675 adver tised it as a “very wholesome drink with many excellent virtues”— how about that, all you lucky ulcer sufferers. Got sort of side-tracked on Christmas—and must get back to the working part of it. Happy Holidays! Community Calendar of Events Wednesday, December 14 Order of Rainbow for Girls at hall, 7:30.
