BOXING DAY Tlie day after Cliristmas is still celebrated as Boxing Day in both England, where it originated, and Australia. The holiday goes back to early England, when landlords and employers would set aside gifts that they didn’t want, to give to the needy and to tradespeople. Today in England and Australia, Boxing Day is observed as a holiday from work, giving weary parents a chance to rest from the rigors of shopping and preparing Christmas feasts, and giving youngsters a chance to play wnth their new toys.

Andy Borrelli was the story teller and did an excellent job. Quite a number of parents stayed there for the whole activity. After the yuletide tales were over, the chldren got busy making a Christmas craft out of old Christmas cards. Santa Claus, played quite professionally by Steve Siroky, an Oregon-Davis High School student, showed up and was assisted by a volunteer elf, Tony Gonzales. After the young guests had sat on Santa's lap and told him their wishes for Christmas morning, they were served punch and cookies by Santa’s elf. Next came the part of the cele bration that the children await eagerly — the drawing for prizes. Winners were Kris Trujillo, Laura Wylie. Jill Houston, Rhea Pearish, Jessica Houston, Sarah Yakim, Jacquie Morel. Juiiann Houston. Jessica LaVigne and Rachel Gravseth. As they went out. they were given a bag of candy. Another successful Story Hour was over Nadie Keiper was a guest, invited by the new librarian. Cindy Yelachich.
