ll Ii l^r- f ■ f V' I v •. ■ i L t m ft a ■ ft C <*age 4 By JANICE 3. CHBISTENSEN iNervous about cookinig a fancy holiday meal? This suggestion from two Vance county honie- maa'kers could well be worth your attention. iFlrst, approach a good friend whose cooking skills nearly match yoour own. Then make plans to [tool yo.r skills to [■■I'e- pare ene feast that can serve Iboth families. “That way,” explains Mrs. Carolyn Stanley, home econo- mi.s e.xtension agent, “each cook prepart's those items that are easiest fur her to make.'' The combined results Is a glor ious meal. These two ctxtks not only di vided their menu plans, they also considered the cost of the items and the time involved in food preparation s o that neither homemaker wa.s overworked. FAMILY HOBBY Decoupage has been good therapy for Mrs. Clyde Zim merman of the Apple Clark com munity, Rockingham county. When Mrs. Zimmerman had to resign fiom her home.nakcr's cliil) due to illness, a friend sug- deeds igesled she try decoupage as a ,hobby ! The homemaker’s husband vol-' ' unteered to help with cutting and sanding the plaqii.es and soon j the couple was in business. | ! They liave found docoupai;o to I be nr.f cnly a relaxing hobby, but! ! a pixrfitable one, says Mrs. Joyce lIMldreth, home econcinics exten-^ I sion agent. | HANDMADE LINGERIE Mrs. I. M. Smith, an Exten sion Homemakers club member from Rowan county lias a new ■ liobby making lingerie out of nylon tricot. j .All of her grandchildren and ' some of her adult friends will rCicive hantlmade lingerie as gifts. Edith Hinshaw, home eco nomics extension agent says. Tile gifts will not be a sur prise. Everyone hinted ahead of time that homemade lingerie was what they wanted. Mrs. Smith, who buys her sup plies at an octlet store, has made 25 pairs of panties and eight gowns. She finds her sc'wing ma chine with the disk attachments, especially zig-zag, a liig help. Holiday Favorite Theme Of Writen; (Whenever the talk turns to Chrislinas books and stories, somebody's sure to mention Charles Dickens. His “Christmas Carol,” pub lished in 1S43, is synonymous with holiday conviviality, and Its un derlying theme stresses the spirit ual truths and blessings of the Nativity. "(God bless us .every one,” cried Tiny Tim cratchlt, and the cry still echoes. While Dickens may be a word for Christmas, many another au thor has written of this religious festival and merry feast. Among the best known exam ples may be scenes from chil dren’s iierature. Louisa May Alcott’s “Little Women,” published 1SG8, may seem old-fashioned in some Ways, tout girls today still rejoice in the story of Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. These fictional heroines come to life for their readers, and nev er more so than in the Christni'as- season story that opens the book. THt KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD, KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. C. when the March family gat festive breakfast for a poor fam ily. While they breakfasted on bread and milk, the girls felt they truly feasted, for they knew the joy of sharing. Another old lavoiti er ?'FFshf Another old favorite is Kate Douglas Wiggins “The Birds” Ciiristmas Oarol,” of 1887. Though better known as the a.tiior of “Rebecca of Sunny- brook Farm,” she wroe this brief but touchinij; stchy of the Birds’ invalid child, whose short life exemplified the prlnclp-les of Christmas. In the present day, the Amer ican author Truman Capote, who clr.i.ns the invention of a new literary form, the nondiction novel, h'3s written of Christmas, too. 'His “A Christmas Memory,” a short story, appeared as a tele- sion drama in 1966. CANING EVIL . Because candy canes have the legendary ability to ward off evil, iiiey beca-iue pari of Cliiist- mas, bringing good. “P^ .Huge Tree Man's Symbol A French story of the 13th (century relates how 'a huge tree was discovered in a forest, its 'branches lit with candles. The story explains that the tree is mankind. Its candles rep 1 resent people good or bad, and | the child is the Christ child. i Classics Provide Yuletide Melody In this -century, hymns and car ols of the Nativity have been composed by Peter Warlock (“Bethlehem Down”) and Gus tav Holst (“Mid-Winter”) — among others. Often hymns and carols have (been set to the music of classic composers. One e.xample is , “While Shep herds Watched Their (Flocks by Nj(ght,” by Nahum Tate. Music for this came from Handel’s opeia, “Sii’oe,” as adapted Richard Storrs Willis. by Decking Halls Has History ‘tChrist was born on Christmas day, Wreathe the holly, twine the bay.” From England of long ago come the words of this carol, showing the early role of the bay tree and its greens in dec orating for Christmas. Its use harks back to ancient -Greece, when both the bay and the laurel 'bedecked homes and public p-’.aces in sym'bol cf tri umph. As traditional Christmas greens, they reflect the same joyful spirit, say the editors of the Grolier Universal Encyclope dia. Holly of course is still popular I as Yuletide greenery. But nowa- j days, when it’s time to deck the ! halls, bay leaves are more likely ' to spice holiday cookery, rather than holiday decorating* BEES GETt' BUSY GOAT GIVES On Christmas Eve, bees h’um One of Santa’s most unusual holiday carols and melodies, says stand-ins is the “Jul-iBock,” a legend. ' 'goat, once the Danish gift-giver. JINGILE BELLS Most-sung American secular carol is “Jingle Bells,” written by James Pierpont of Massa chusetts in the 1850’s.
