On Christmas Eve the church or coiiinuinlty hall will be the scene of b party. Ten years out of 10 almost everybody rocs to see tho story of the Nntlvlty retold in pantomime, play-aetliiK and song, by the Sunday school boys and girls. Having a part In the Christmas play is an event of major Importance In the life of any yontmster, Tho Nativity Is a play that never grows old, and nil the actors end actresses nrs stars. Afler the piny there's (he Christ mas Tree. Everyone gets a present off the bin, lighted tree and some how there Is Always enough candy nnd mils for tho youngsters to tnke home by the armload. Perhaps nfler Hie community Christmas party there will he s dance for the older folk, merry making fur into the night, Christmas Day Itself starts early as scum as the children get up. They pause Just long enough to ex amine with enthusiasm the presents under their tree, then dart out to compare them with the presents Simla brought lo the rest ot the kids up and down the street, Bimlit Clans Is no fool. He may be pressed for time that busy night, but he never makes the mistake of leaving n sled or pntr of tec skates or skis at a southern youngster's house. He substitutes a bicycle or wagon or sir rifle. And he never forgets to leave plenty of candy, pecans, Eng lish walnuts, "nlgger-toes," seedy bunch raisins, npples and oranges. Big California oranges, not the little everyday Florida kind, Most people In the 8onlh make Christ hum a day of reunion and feasting. By prearrangement, all members of a family, phis iii-iaws. will convomo on the home of favored relative usually one who stayed on the farm for another round of present-circulating, egg nog sampling and dinner. And what a dinner, The groaning board never groans half so well as It docs Christmas with a score or more of relatives in the house, Turkey, of course, com bread dressing, cranberries, mashed potatoes, gibict gravy, baked sweet potatoes and all the rest. Probably turnip greens and butter beans, too. Blackeyctl pens and hog jowto are reserved for New Year's Day, but that's another story. After dinner the kids play and the grown-ims talk. It takes a Jot of palaver to tiring a whole year t the family's hWoiy up to date. l SANTA Li BUY TH S VERY FINEST TOYS ARI HERE IN GREAT ARRAY HIM NOW ON BUDGET TERMS OR EASY iAY-AWAY U71.
