and a treat from the gaily decorated Christ mas tree A presentation was made from the congregation to Rev and Mrs A Petersen Mrs Pearl Hill made the pres entation Yes at Christmas time we go back in memory to the days of our childhood The day before Christmas was when the tree was decorated with father mother and children all helping Al ways when the confusion was at its height mother would say Next year well do this job earlier But each year it was the same It seemed the proper time to decorate the tree so that we as small children went off to bed with the visions of the dec orated tree an important part of the Christmas Eve picture As we grew older my brother and I took a greater share in the decorations of the house Look ing back on it now we wonder how our parents stood some of our creations There was the time when we had reached the crepe paper age and everything was festooned with red and green chains Quite a few bear ing visible damp marks from too generous a supply of paste Another year it was spruce boughs which had taken our fancy and pictures doorways light chandeliers everything in sight practically bore a branch of evergreen from which we draped a few icicles To give a realistic effect you know As we kept the tree and dec orations up until Old Christmas Dads birthday the house was a rather forlorn looking sight with its needleless branches drooping over the furnishings We were happy for we as a family were celebrating the Christmas season Now our family rituals and Christmas observances were no finer than yours but they were ours and the only ones we can record from our memorybook Christmas Eve was a time when we gathered around the piano to sing the beautiful old carols It was a time when sev eral older couples without child ren friends of our parents came and their joining with us in our family celebrations was as cer tain as the arrival of Christmas itself Twos the Night Before Christmas was replaced by Christmas Carol but always the story of the first THE TWINS AMD NOM CHOWDER UUIANRAMK S3 if Christmas as told in Luke 2 1 homes was read Christmas started early at home There was the baking and shopping to be finished for the overseas parcels And in turn they were the first ones to arrive bearing their British postage stamps On Christmas day itself my brother and I got away early to church as we had to change into the white sur plices of the junior choir Christmas dinner was planned so that mother and dad could both attend the childrens carol service at St Andrews church Halifax The crisp freshness of the choir gowns was a second best compared to the polished radiance of the childrens faces In celebrating Dec as the Holy day and not the holiday they got away from the cata loguing of gifts a trap which ensnares too many of us Yes Christmas is a family matter It is the tantalizing smell of favorite foods cooking It is the postman arriving with intriguing parcels It is the pic ture of mother cheeks quite pink from the ovens heat blow ing a few wisps of hair back from her forehead It is the air of expectancy which hangs about the house It is the children practising for church and school concerts It is mother getting out to extra choir practices But mostly Christmas is the things we cant express in words which add up to making our own family It is those things which we go back to in times of trouble and loss When family circle is broken when we come to that time of empty places at the fam ily table it is to warm happy of our child hood that we return Let us not forget now that we have grown to adulthood to keep those family traditions a sacred part of this Christmas As our children grow up and enter the changing scene of daily living let us give them the se curity and love of happy family living The merriest of to you and your families May joy and happiness and an awareness of the One whose birthday we celebrate be present in your I u SARGENT lit B AND P CLUB HAS CHRISTMAS PARTY
