me when you deliver the gifts
and sign me “Otto Henry Hanak

SANTA'S* VILLAGE
Santa Claus, Indiana and Christ-
mas, Florida pop into the news
each Christmas season, and
throughout the year are visited
by thousands of tourists. Away
out West, in the San Bernardino
mountains not too far from Los
Angeles, California, the star of
popularity is fast rising for San-
ta’s Village, a replica of the
North Pole home of Santa Claus,
complete with plenty of snow
during the winter months . . .
and including, of course, Santa
himself, his elves, animals, toys,
candy, and a 20-passenger sleigh.
Dear Santa,
Please bring me a truck, a
football and a brown pair of
gloves for Christmas, and please
bring something pretty for ev-
ery member of my family.
Your friend,
Adrain Kutscherousky

a truly joyous holiday, filled with
all the peace and happiness
of that first Christmas Day.
MASTERPIECE ... The above
painting, “The Nativity,” by Ger-
ard David, from the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, Jules S. Baehe
Collection, is one of 300 master-
pieces of painting featured in the
widely-acclaimed color TV pres-
entation “The Coming of Christ.”
First shown in 1900, this program
was repeated last year. It tells
the story of Christ and his minis-
try, bringing to life in a striking
realistic still-pictures-in-action
technique masterpieces of paint-
ing of the late Middle Ages and
the Renaissance.
What Indeed
Is Christmas?
What, indeed, is Christmas?
Why is Christmas, of all holi-
days, the most eagerly awaited,
the best-remembered?
The answer must be that Christ-
mas is the one holiday that has a
special meaning for all mankind
The spirit of Christmas was first
reflected in the eyes of wise kings
and humble shepherds who had
journeyed from far and near to
witness a special miracle—the
birth of a promised Redeemer.
Christmas customs change with
the modes and mannerisms of
new generations. Yet the real
story of Christmas remains for-
ever the same. Christmas is the
birthday of Jesus Christ.
However we choose to cele-
brate this great holiday, we must
find it difficult to ignore that
there is in the world about us a
spirit of love and goodness, of
close communion with God and
with mankind. It lives within the
heart of all who have recognized
the true meaning of Christmas.
MERRY v -
CHRISTMAS
Joy at Christinas
Joy to the world.. . and special good
wishes to our friends and their families.
May your Day be an especially joyous one...
filled with holiday happiness and good cheer.

We take this opportunity
to wish everyone a
HOLIDAY CLEAN-UP
Don't discard those holiday
shopping bags. Keep at least
two of them for Christmas
morning—one to hold the pa-
per and ribbon you want to
keep, one to hold the scraps
to be thrown away.

is here again, and
to all our
friends we wish a
holiday filled
with great joy and
good health. May the Day
bean especially
merry and bright one
for you and the
ones you hold dear.
HOLIDAY HOLLY
Most of the holly cuttings used
in American homes today are of
the English variety, grown for
the most part in the northwest
where climatic conditions are
most favorable. Research has pro-
duced several strains of Ameri-
can holly said to be much hardier
and superior in color, foliage and
fruit. These bear such beguiling
names as Merry Christmas, Santa
Claus, Old Heavy Berry and Cro-
nenberry.
FOR THE BIRDS
You don’t need an elaborate
feeder to share Christmas with
the birds. You can trim an out-
door tree and decorate it with
such things as pine cones dipped
in suet, popcorn, bits of apple
and grated carrot, even pie crust.
Blue jays, woodpeckers, nut-
hatches, ehicadees, warblers and
brown creepers are “meat” eat-
ers. Cardinals, juncos, sparrows
and finches like vegetable seeds.
CHRISTKIND
Dear to the heart of Swiss chil-
dren is Christkind, personified by
a girl in white, her face veiled
and her head crowned in gold.
Accompanied by other children
dressed in white, Christkind car-
ries her basket of gifts from
house to house, her coming an-
nounced by a silvery bell. When
^ope your Day is a happy one, filled
with all the special joys of the holiday season.
