Have You

To those who read this column,
and to the editor and staff, the
age old wish A very merry
Christmas comes sincerely, and
mav there be a return, at least for
a brief. time, to. the mystical:
enchantment of childhood.
Christmas did have. a magical
quality about it for most of usin
_our early years. and so fortunate
are we who can recapture each
Yuletide some of the old thrill. I
remember the school concert as a
high light in.those vears..Getting
the tree and helping to decorate
it. and the house too, was
another...

Looking: back. [remember that
the letters and parcels from
‘England brought..much’ joy,

-especially the letters which
“meant a great deal to my mother.

We were then newly transplanted
into -the wilds from the «Old
Country and all our relatives.”

“The Christmas message speaks .
to all ages and the contagion of it

~ is almost universal. This essence,
$0 vital to us-all,'seems to be well,
summed up in the words, Peace

-and Goodwill; and another. pair,

Joy. and Fellowship. Charles :}.
