So. . . at 11:30 there you were, searching mad ly for that parking place which was waiting for you at 9:00 o’clock. At last you found one (a parking -h'.ce). .. mere 10 blocks from the downtown shopping district. You faced the invigorating wind with quick steps, which soon became froz en. You finally discovered yourself in the midst of an enormous mob consisting of that species of animal better known as the frantic last- minute shopper. Their spirit and en thusiasm reaches you; and you get carried away, yes, actually carried away from the store you wanted to go to. Finally you entered a store; at least you hoped it was the right store. At long last, you forced your way through the throng and by sheer strength you reached the counter. With your last breath, you gasped out, “A red necktie, please!” The sophisticated salesgirl gave you an indifferent glance and said coolly, “Sir, this is the Ladies’ Lingerie Department. You will find what you need in the Mens’ Sportswear De partment located on the third floor.” In an attempt to get to the third floor, you were shoved into a freight Service Cluhs Plan Activities For The Yuletide Season Christmas holidays will find many W.

A little worse for wear, you accidently, and much to your surprise, reached the Mens’ Department. After listen ing to a very strong sales talk you decided on a purple tie. Freeing your self from the very persistent sales lady who kept insisting “this moose- head ashtray is the perfect gift for Uncle George,” you continued on your way. It is then that the Christmas spirit icaliy hi, you. After picking yourself up off the floor, package by package, • you again attempted the impossible, trying to get through the crowd. After five hours and 15 attempts to get off the elevator, you again faced the biting winds in the trek back to the car. Reaching your car, you found that the police have left a token of re membrance in the form of a gaily decorated Christmas card reminding you that you’ve overparked. However, later as you reminisced over the day’s activities, you realized that you’ve enjoyed it all, and that it is all a part of Christmas and the Christmas spirit.
