PARIS (UPI) - In France,
they call him "Le Pere Noel."
But he's pretty much t h e
same as Santa Claus all over
the world.
He flies around with a big
sack of toys and manages to
squeeze down the chimney,
look around to make sure the
shoes by the fireplace or un
der the Christmas tree are
polished and then leaves the
presents.
, For the children and the
parents Christmas is a family
affair that really starts when
Papa comes home from work'
oh Christmas Eve.
jFor him the work of Christ
mas has just begun. He dec
orates the Christmas tree
while Mama busies herself in
the kitchen. Grandpa and
Orandma and maybe some
other relatives arrive during
the evening.
!ln families with younger
children Christmas dinner is
often served on Christmas
Eve. Some families are adopt
ing the idea of dinner on
Christmas Day but the real
French tradition aims at mid
night mass , then a feast that
might last for hours iri the
early morning. ; '

In Other
Lands
After the requisite number
of aperitifs it might be as
pastis, or a wine cocktail, but
Scotch whisky is now the "in"
drink dinner begins with oys
ters and a dry Alsation white
wine. Then there's foie gras
(liver paste) or traditional
boudin blance a white sau
sage served with another
white wine.
The main dish is chestnut
stuffed turkey, or goose or
maybe a roast of meat, served
with the rich red Burgundy or
Bordeaux wine. Then salad,
cheese, and the long-awaited
"buche de Noel," a cream
iced sponge cake so-called be
cause it is made in the bak
er's shop in the form of yule
log.
With the buche, generally
accompanied by candied
chestnuts, comes the cham
pagne, probably brought by
Grandpa who, you understand,
is an expert on these things.
Then there is coffee and
brandy, or some of the strong
white fruit - flavored liquers
that abound in France.

MADRID (UPI) - In ad
dition to being a deeply reli
gious pageant, Christmas
brings out the gambling spir
it in most Spaniards.
It gives them a chance to
indulge in one of the nation's
greatest pastimes the lot
tery. No sooner does winter de
scend on the Iberian peninsu
la than Spaniards begin talk
ing excitedly about the fam
ed annual Christmas lottery,
the nation's largest.
This year more than 3,038,
000,000 (b) pesetas (more
than $60 million) will be giv
en away following a nation
al drawing Dec. 22.
Christmas lottery tickets
are on sale not only in offi
cial government establish
ments but in hotels, clubs,
and from man-in-the-street iti
nerant ticket sellers.
There are alsmot a million
tickets numbers, but each tic
ket is subdivided into deci
mals selling for 500 pesetas
($8.33) each. The subdividh
ed tickets are in turn furth
er subdivided into series.
Traffic in lottery tickets
has become more important
to Spanish Christmas than the
exchange of traditional holi
day greeting cards.
- Almofcv every- store, factory
arid business "ih the nation has
taken up offering shares in
a winning number to clients
and friends as a public rela
tions gimmick with a Span
ish twist.
The Christmas lottery has
increasingly gained inter
national fame as a sort of an
Iberian "Irish Sweepstakes."
There are even reports of re
quests for tickets coming from
the Soviet Union.
The drawing of the winning
numbers has become a na
tional ritual: televisied live
and broadcast nationwide.
An ultra - modern electric
system, operated by a group
of children from the Saint Ilde
fonsos Boys School, picks the
winners. The numbers are
whirled around by the ma
chine in a large globe from
nine in the morning until the
afternoon drawing. As the ma
chine selects a number the
children sing it out.
Even before the drawing
Spanish newspapers mobilize
their forces to fan through
the nation to find the "gor
do" literally fat one
which is the title given the
person holding the most tic
kets with the winning num
ber. The winning ticket this year
will pay 525 million pesetas
(almost $9 million).
Though the-excitement na
turally centers on the big
winner, even what they call
here a "pinch" of the gor
do can make it a rich, as
well as merry, Christmas for
many a Spaniard.

HO, HO, HO Nearly everybody you run into on Franklin
Street these days is smiling. This twinkling - eyed little Santa
in the display window of one of the local merchants seems
to know why. In case yon haven't heard, Christmas is less
than two weeks away.
