Home Seasonable "Goose Hangs While turkey has long been the traditional Christmas dish in Can- ada of late the goose has been forging ahead like a shot in many lands as the piece de resistance of the Yuletide meal. The goose rates especially high in the Scandinavian countries, heading an impressive list of meats and fish served during the Christmas and Holiday season. In Sweden, celebrants like to see a suckling pig decorate the groan- ing board, along with the many dishes associated with the Smorg- asbord. France and Ireland look with " |high favor on the goose, and the 'MERRY CHRISTMAS TABLES For a long-to-be-remembgred Christmas dinner, add a gay Yule- tide centerpiece.

During the Middle Ages, the Church, particularly the higher officials, took over the practice of wearing jewelry. The nobility, too, set great store by ponderous jewelry collections.

Make Sure Gifts Arrive in Time First on every Christmas Gift Shopping List this year should be the gifts that you are going to have to entrust to the mail. If you want to make sure that they reach their destination before Christmas Day, then'don't wait un- til the last minute. Everything now points to the heaviest burden of Christmas mail in history. One cardinal rule to remember is that the farther the gift has to travel the more time should be allowed for the postman to make the delivery. The other important rule is that care be taken in packaging the gift for mailing. Best plan is to double wrap the gift. Do it first in gay gift wrap- ping, after making sure that the git will not rattle around in its x Then put the "gift wrapped" package into a corrugated contain- er of sufficient strength and secure- enough bound for you to be sure that the package will not be dam- aged en-route.

Many of these are repro- ductions from the old masters, while many others created especially for the Christ- mas card industry. The Nativity theme, which nat- urally lends itself to an almost endless variety of interpretations and a wealth of detail, long has been a favorite subject of Chris- tian artists.
