It's Christmas time again, you see.
And time again, I'm glad to say,
To send to you a card of cheer.
And Wish you Merry Christmas
Day
That keeps right on throughout
the year.
Another year and again we greet
the Christmas holidays with all the
attendant festivities and merry
making that the present conditions
will allow. Naturally, we are still
ed in our joyful celebrations due
to the sorrow, suffering and selfish
ness in the world today. We cannot
let our spirits rise to the great
heights of olden days when every
thing was normal and the families
intact. But, somehow, we cannot
quite agree with a , lady whom we
listened to as she described her
feelings about how the holidays
should be spent. She did not stress
the fact of church-going nor that
we . should dedicate our minds,
hearts and savings to a special
cause. Her whole theory seemed
to be that we shouldn't allow any
pleasure, happiness or gaiety be
included in the scheme of things.
She said we should remember how
men were dying, people were starv
ing and all the agonies of warfare
that were besetting the earth at
this time. In other words, her idea
was that by our weeping, we would
aid those who were in trouble. She
said that she had erased every
"Merry" and "Happy" on her
Christmas cards. And that she
didn't believe any one on earth was
happy.
That seems to be the wrong atti
tude to take at this time when both
the men overseas and those here at
home are striving with all their
might to bolster up the morale of
both sides of the oceans. It has
never seemed to help matters on a
rainy day to holf an umbrella on
one's shoulder and not open it for
protection. And there never was a
truer song title than, "Let a Smile
be your Umbrella." Smiles are
often made to keep the tears from
choking in one's throat and a pleas
ant and cheerful word here at home
won't push a man deeper In a fox
hole a thousand miles away. But
it most assuredly will boost up the
courage of us who are waiting for
that Great Day when we will raise
our voices in Thanksgiving for the
Peace that has come.
Christmas really should be given
over to the children and young
folk, and how can we expect them
to understand the seriousness of
life as it is in this tragic era. They
will find enough serious events
standing in their onward journey
through life and it seems hardly

fair to saddle them with responsi
bilities too soon. Surely they are
entitled to a Merry and Happy holi
day season. And, please, tell me
how they can be joyous if we are
all sitting around clad in indigo
meditation and somber raiment!
So, let's bury our grief and wor
ries deep in our hearts where no
one can see them but ourselves; at
least until after the Christmas tree
has been hauled away and the
bright new calendar on the wall
proclaims that another year is be
ginning. And by that time, per
haps the smiles we have been prac
ticing will become such a part of
us that we will not want to relegate
them to oblivion. Anyway . . .
MERRY CHRISTMAS . . . HAPPY
NEW YEAR.
