Volunteer and Life Service Band EDITORIAL What have we done to Christ mas that it has become a burden rather than a time of rejoicing? Have we not forgotten that it is a time that oommcmorate the birth of One born in a stable? Have we (we not, in forgetting this, robbed Christmas of the beauty and sim plicity that should characterize it? Have we not allowed the vain ex travagance of this age turn what should be a holy dy into a day of giving expensive gifts. A day of .worry and fret? Of course we want to give gifts, but does that mean they must be expensive gifts? A pot of gay Christmas bloom for some old lady, a box of candy or a toy for some forgotten child may make the Christmas Star twinkle ever so ch more brightly than our most Scant gasture in some oth- direciiejl. Or a personal Christmas message to some friend may mean more in ultimate values than a costly gift. Our Christmas trees, with the Star Shining above, do they sug gest to us the real meaning of Christmas .or do they suggest only -ihe large number of packages pil ed beneath their branches and the fwork and worry it has cost us to put them there? Perhaps we have done to Christmas what we have done to the world. We have tried to es cape from the simple and find realities of everyday living into a world of strife and display .where every man and woman struggles to out do his neighbor. Wouldn’t we be happier if we went back to the real Christmas of simple belief in simple things that ore eternally with us? EDITORIAL Girls and boys, let’s not go home for the holidays determined to be a “gad about” every minute of our time. Let us spend some of our time during the Christmas Season reading appropriate literature. .We do not wish to miss part of the joy and real meaning of Christmas, but we shall unless we read some of the old stories and poems. There are many books which should be read in preparing for Christmas. There are others which should be read on or around Christmas day. Here are a few suggestions: Among the old clas sics loved for years are: Dickens’ “Christmas Carol and Christmas Stories”; Kate Douglas Wiggins’ “A Bird’s Christmas Carol”; Ten nyson’s. “In Memoriam”; Henry Van Dyke’s “The First Christmas”; and Browning’s “Christmas Eve and Easter Day.” O. Henry has written a number of delightful stories of a lighter nature which are appropriate for the Christmas season. One of the best of these is “Christmas By In junction.” If there are children in the home do not fail to read aloud to them of the stories which thrilled you when yau were a child. “Twas the Night Before Christmas” is always enjoyed by children. Even in our busy hours during the Christmas season, let’s find time to read something fine— something suitable. Town News Miss Rena Bradshaw spent Thanksgiving in Roanoke, Va., She attended the V. P.
