By Goldie Rambo
Suddenly its Christmas—
and all those small (and
some large) details that I
planned on doing are still un
done. 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!

HOW TO CUT HEAT COSTS
SALE $11.88 to $16.95
5 tips that can help you get more
warmth from your heating oil dollar
1. Keep your oil burner clean and
properly adjusted. And use today's
Shell Heating Oil. It contains a spe
cial additive called FOA-6X* This
additive helps keep critical burner
passages free from clogging-assures
better firing.
2. Set your thermostat back when you
go to bed at night—save significantly
on your heating oil bills.
3. Be sure your burner has sufficient
air. Oil needs lots of air to burn prop
erly. Don’t block off air supply to
burner. Don’t allow dust and lint to
accumulate on air intake openings.
4. Don't block hot air vents or cold
air return ducts with furniture.
5. Stop air leaks around poorly fitted
windows by using weather-stripping
or storm windows.
