To Dad's nàew fishing pole, for example, the teen- age boy of the fa 'mily can add. a set of home-made flies. The tradition of, caroling during the Christmas season is not completely iost,. for- tunately. Many churches and' organizations have grouips of carolers that go to hospitals, convalescent homes or to neighborhood homes, each year at Christmas. Many churches or com-' munity choruses make, a tradition of presenting the Christmas portions of Han- *del's "Messiah" during the, hofidays. The whole family can attend such a presenta- tion or any other progrýam of christmas music, to capture, the holiday spirit and spend some ime together.
