■ / * / z COMES TO US AAAAA A A A A A Do we come agtin to the reason <rf Christmao. •. ar, does the Christmas come to us? Christmas comes to us, as always. AU we need do is wait Pretty strings of lights appear along Main Street Store windows seem to come alive with thousands of toys and gifts and most desirable things. Up and down most any street in town, merry, many-colored windows reflect the spirit of warmth, that is so much a part of the season. Soon we receive cards in the mail, from folks , around town, from relatives, and a few from once-dear/ friends we lost somewhere in the past Begrudgingly at first then with mounting enthusiasm, we undertake the obligations of meeting our own gift and Christmas card list we begin to feel an inner glow, a sense of fellowship with the wond—and by the time the holiday arrives, we are really glad it’s Christmas! Yes, Christmas comes to us, whether we like it or not We cannot escape it But, do we reaUy come to the spirit of Christmas when Christmas comes to us? Not if our celebration of Christmas begins and ends with the program outlined above. Pretty lights that twinkle and glow; pretty cards from friends new and old; is this the purpose of Christmas? Gift giving—trying to remember everyone who is likely to remember us; is this enough when Christmas comes? Christmas brings to each of us the opportunity to share in the most magnificent moment of all time—the birth of Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, the Savior of aU mankind. Yes, Christmas comes once a year, with all the outward trappings we have come to know so well. Yet it is for nothing—unless each individual heart comes again to be filled with the true spirit of Christmas; the realization and appreciation of the fact that on this day God sent his only son to save the world.

Reunion And Feasting Through the ages, Christmas has always been a time ot reunion and feasting. In this country, Christmas is not considered complete unless the entire family gathers at “mom’s” or "grannie’s." Turkey an the table is a tradition and, in some sections, ham is considered a menu necessity. In the time of the Saxons, the festive board was spread with a •’bord-cloth” and the guests waited impatiently for the two specialties that marked Christmas: the peacock and the boar’s bead.

PLUM PUDDING K ; Mun pudding evolved from, an early English dish known as “frumenty.” Tradition*! at the English Christmas feast, “frumenty” consisted of wheat boiled until the grains burst and, after straining, reboiled with broth or milk and yolks of eggs. Somewhere along the line an imaginative cook added raisins, another prunes, some mace, chopped suet, etc., and eventually the plum pudding came into being.
