Our Christmas, like our race, has been blended from many sources until it is now something esâ€" sen‘lially native, a part of our culture and as closely woven into our national phil:ssophy as democracy and freedom. Like them it involves social responâ€" and Cur relationships with oth@rs. In a broader sense, it becomes almost sacrilege to speak disparagingâ€" ly of giftâ€"giving and of the mad orgy of buying. For no: snly are we buying things to give but, mora important even, we ar» making work, putting our money in cir:wation. The American way of giftâ€"giving bectmes then a soâ€" cial privilege, an obligation we‘d do well to assume with humility.
