Education wi*th Jerry Hawkins, Last Saturday was Christmas shopping day for rny youngest son, Peter. He 15 fne years old, and a real bail of energy. In one hour of shopping he bougbt e!very present be iieeded. He came home witb an expression of,, "well, that's over", and a sense of pride in what be bad bought. lis only concern was how to get the purchases up to bis room without people seeing them. Witb these new plastic bags wbich people can see througb, it becornes a bit difficuit to sneak things, into the bouse at Christmas. We solved the problem by ail leaving the area and giving him a free route to bis room. Once Peter had everything secureiy bidden in bis roorn, be started on the next step of bis Christmnas giving procedure. He immediately gave eacb percson a dlue asý to wbat' he had bougbt for tbem. He basiearned over the years not to give too good a dlue or else people guess correctly, and then he is ail upset and disappointed. So now, bis dues aren't 50 clear. My dlue was that whatever it is cornes in a box, whicb you must admit isn't too precise. Nonetheless, 1 realiy do know what it is. For the last two days Peter bas been srneliing of after sbave lotion, so I guess be is testing out my gift. 1 just bope there is stili some left when Christmas cornes. Oh well, it's the thougbt, that counts. Yes, it really is the thought that counts. I have found that these gifts from the kids are s0 filled witb love that it really doesn't matter what they give me. The Margot Samuel Gallery Sale The Under $100 Gif t Sale at the Margot Samuel Gallery continues with. an ever- changing exhibition and sale of works. Every day new works arrive and the selection is constantly, increasing. New Works by Janet McGhee and Laurine Sage have just arriv- ed, and works by other well known area artists are avail- able.

Sally Wildman shows water colors and Dubi shows small, color- full collages. Joan-Marie Dean is represented by color- ful mono prints. The Gallery, at 899 Nelson Street, Oshawa, is open daily except Mondays, until Decem- ber 24. gifts may be purchased with no time wasted, but they sure are bougbt with the receiver in mind. Tbey want the gift to be the most wonderful thing I have ever received. It's niee to see the kids learning the joy that cornes with giving. one of the big problems children have with giving is that they want to please so mucb and to show their love so much that they will spend too great an amount of money. When my oldest daughter was about Peter's age, she spent ail the money she had saved for a year on Christmas. In fact, she was asking for ber allowance for two montbs abead so that she could finish ber shopping. We appreciated ber generosity, but surely Christmas shouldn't put anyone, let alone a ten- year-old cbild, into personal bankruptcy. It took a while to have ber appreciate that the price of a gift was not wbat was important to us. We went so far as to put a price limit on the gifts the kids could buy. That brougbt tbem a lot of peace,' and forced them to sbop wisely. It' was fun to see how pleased Peter 'was on Saturday when be bad stuck to bis budget. He had three cents left over. The joy of giving, the joy of, receiving, budgeting and sensible shopping are just some of the things parents teacb at Christmas. But, like so many tbings educational, the rewards remain with the learner for a lifetime.
