LOUISA'S LETTER @ 81111

Dear Louisa, We have a very large family and it grows larger each year — however, we enjoy getting together during the holidays and we have worked out our plans so that it is not one person’s responsibility. Each family brings a card table and cloth for their children and their part of the dinner. When the meal is finished the different ones get rid of the food, rinse their dishes and pack them up to take home. Some use plastic

plates and put them in the garage . G The only thing that worries me is the gifts. This part of the occasion has become a headache when there are so many relatives to shop for. Don’t you think it would be better if we cut out gifts altogether? Tired Shopper —N.C. Answer: Many large families continue giving to one another but they limit the cost and the number of '

gifts. One family I know confines their giving to the children in the family — others draw names and one person gives a gift to the person whose name he has drawn. I don’t think that your Christmas Day would be quite as happy if you cut out giving altogether. Louisa
