But the time has been getting? shorter, and now Christmas will soon 2 be here, and so far I’ve done not aj single thing on my Christmas for this % year. |

post with greens, all the merchants || ha\e done their doggone best to$ create a Christmas scene; but I § guess I’m pretty stubborn, for this? don’t spell Christmas to me. . . there 2 is a .whole lot more meaning toj Christmas than just Santa Claus and % a tree! So I gathered my thoughts|j together, to find what Christmas? really means besides the Santas and® bells and reindeer, and the shining 1 red and greens. I must put the Christ in Christmas and along with him^ Joseph and Mary, all his own folk injj their home together, where the closest^ friends may tarry. ’ ' % It seems for me this spells Christ-^ mas; ‘tis found in the home, not the® store, where our loved ones can all be% _together and commemorate Christ’s % birthday once more. £
