many today is day of visiting after spending the heart of life Christmas period with their fam illes at home For others however this is working It isnt quite be same as your average runofthemili working day but it was still up with the ciang of the alarm clock and out into the morning chill But for hospital staff policemen firemen and newspaper men theres little difference Perhaps the good will of Christmas has lingered long enough to make that difference Some of our shops are open for bus iness today cleanng out the unsold Christmas stock at reduced prices And wouldnt it be nice to be able to do your Christmas shopping now All of whidl leads us to comment upon the commercialization of Christmas it might be that we werent looking as hard this year but it does seem that we havent heard quite as much about the commercialization of Christmas this time around as we have in past years DOWN MEMORY LANE 35 YEARS AGO lN TOWN Barrie Examiner Dec 24 1938 Mayor Herb Robertson and

Sunrise Cafe operated by 0b The Toronto Star had frontpage story or two quoting few ministers who railed against cashAregister Christ mas spirit and the usual assortment of columnists and radio commentators earned for the good old days of pure uletide spirit but it seemed old hat For really the commercialization of Christmas is myth Its myth because how one spends Christmas is very much personal choice If buying buckets of gifts that overextend the budget is how you spend Christmas thats your choice If store is open Boxing Day the merchant is simply setting out his wares and advertising to invite you in No one holds gun to your head and force marches you through his doors Look about you If Santa has been overly generous in your home it was no ones doing but your own if you felt obliged to keep up with the Joneses even that was your decision How you spent Christmas and what your family get out of Christmas was exactly what and how much you put into it Soo Wah
