The Church family hopes,
through your newspaper, to
• A convey our best wishes to all
your readers for a most merry

Until last year, we sent
Christmas cards to many in
Idaho, but the increasing cost

number of cards I wished to
send simply became too

much. That is why, in place
I of sending
cards, Beth in e
and I have begun hosting a
series of Christmas parties in
cities throughout Idaho for
senior citizens. These parties
have now become something
of a Christmas tradition for
us, and. by expanding the
number held each year, it is

can recognize the special
contributions that senior citi

It is a great privilege to

happy Christmas and a
prosperous New Year.

A Festive Name
"Merry Christmas" In
June? September? It is for
a lovely young lady In Sac
ramento. California, whose
name is truly Merry Cheree
Christmas!
In answer to endless in
quiries and as many jokes,
this charming young wom
an never tires of explaining
that her name really is
Merry Christmas, and is
spelled just that way. She
is used to people thinking
It’s funny and the constant
teasing, but enjoys the fun
of it as much as others.
Miss Christmas, whose
fame has spread all over
the world, spends a consid
erable amount of time an
swering the many people
who write her. She starts
writing her Christmas cards
in September.
Asked about marriage
proposals and changing her
name, Miss Christmas re
sponded "Well, I’ve serious

And sparkling gifts commemorate
The Christmas that we celebrate,
It’s harder to appreciate
The way it did originate.
At midnight, by a stroke of fate.
A Child was born upon that date,
Whose mission was to set us straight;
And though the news would indicate
Our world is in a sorry state,
Remember that it’s not too late.
So in our Church let’s congregate.
Where we can all assimilate
The message we’ll communicate,
Of peace and love instead of hate,
That men throughout the world await.

raised the old - fashioned
way and I guess I’m looking
for an old-fashioned type
of person who thinks like
I do. I really like the tra

Christmas."
