AFTER CHRISTMAS: The time
right after Christmas brings a let
down feeling to many, the Christmas
rush and festivities are over and it
is time to start thinking about the
activities of the new year.
But the time after Christmas can
be —and should be —a time to rerpem
ber ihose who remembered you with
Christmas gifts and cards. Writing
thahk-you notes while the Christmas
spirit is still not so far away is a
good, satisfying way to spend any
spare moments.
Those few days after Christmas and
at the beginning of the New Year
are also a good time to remember any
sick friends or shut-ins who could not
enjoy the Christmas season as you did.
Just a personal note, a word to let
them know you are thinking of them,
can bring a great deal of joy.

The Christmas tree must come down
after another Christmas, and the dec
orations will have to go back into
storage. Check the ornaments and
lights before you pack them away,
discarding any broken or burnit out
bulbs, so that the decorations for 1953
will be ready when you need them.
Check your table linens to see'that
they are free from candle wax and
other stains. Candle wax may be
readily removed by scraping off the
excess and then by placing a blotter
over the wax and pressing with a hot
iron.
Special attention should also be giv
en the floors after the Christmas cele
bration. A thorough sweeping may be
in order to remove any Stray needles
or fragments of broken ornaments.
