Take Time Out For Christmas Games Everyone’s a child at Christmas time, and that’s why there’s noth ing as much fun when family and friends gather as game-playing. Since Christmas groups usually include both children and adults, game that the whole family~ will best. j The following games can be played with no special equipment, I other than that on hand. r. WILLIAMS AGENCY fcDiKf) to pou for the gulctthe, ib ?ou n i’ours! fjabe a iHlerrp Christmas! IRVEY HOLDING STRIBUTOR OF ESSO PRODUCTS Charades . . . Christmas charades is a lively gagme that the whole family will enjoy. Divide the group into two teams. Individual members of teams are then called upon to act out a word, character, phrase, scene or situa tion — and since it’s Christmas, all the charades should have Christmas overrtones. Subjects are supplied on a slip of paper by the opposing team and then passed on to the “actor.” From here on, it’s his job to see how quickly he can get his team mates to guess what he is acting out. “The Night Before Christmas,” “Jingle, Bells,” “A Partridge in a Pear Tree,” and “Filling the Christmas Stocking” are just some of the many, many subjects that can be used. Word Play . . . A popular pencil - and - paper game is called “word play.” The object of the game is to see how many words can be made from a phrase such as “Merry Christ mas to All.” A time limit is set, and the rule is that no letter can be used in any word more often than it appears in the phrase. In other words, words made from “Merry Christmas to All” can include no more than one “e,” “i” or “o,” while they could contain as many as two “m’s” or three “r’s.” Since word play involves com petition among its players, jt’s ”■» » f*. advisable to allow the children to compete against one another, while the adults battle it out among themselves. Santa’s Sleigh . . . “Santa’s Packing OHiis Sleigh” is a quiet Christmas game that provides fun and hearty laughter. ! It starts simply enough with one member of the group saying, “Santa’s packing his sleigh, and he’s bringing a toy dog.” Then each person repeats the sentence, adding another gift to Santa’s sleigh. The object of the game is to repeat correctly, in or der, the complete list of gifts in Santa’s sleigh — and it’s harder than it sounds. i As the list gets longer and long er, more and more players just can’t seem to remember the whole list and its order, so consequently they drop out, until only one is left.

You can have one if you can identify yourself in one of the pictures of the Wake Forest Christmas parade which are on display at Central Carolina Bank. Go in between now and Jan 10 and see of you’re one of the lucky ones. Many spectators are included. No strings are attached according to the representative from Long Meadow Farms. Never inquire into another man’s secret; but conceal that which is entrusted to you, no matter how hard pressed to reveal it. Clown COFFEE FOR TEA The Moravian Candle Tea, still observed during the Advent sea son by thousands each year in the Single Brothers House at the Old Salem restoration in Winston-Sa lem, N. C., is a simple meal and not a religious sacrament. It con sists of a special bun or sugar cake and usually coffee, rather than tea.

SNOW NOT PART OF FIRST CHRISTMAS 1BHES i|p’s cheery voices raised in Christmas ress the good will we feel for lends. Thanks and Merry Christmas! IS Hardware Co, Wake Forest, N. C. Americans who dream of a white Christmas with Santa Claus pop ping down the chimney to the tune of “Jingle Bells” can thank as sorted writers and poets and the northern climate. Christmas in the land of Christ’s birth, how- , ever, is another matter. What is Christmas like in Beth lehem? There’s generally no snow, for one thing, for winters are mild in the Judean Hills around Beth lehem. No Santa Claus listens to children’s pleas, for he’s an Amer ican invention based on a Euro pean saint. And there’s probably no decorated Christmas tree in the village square; that custom orig inated in Germany. Instead, the focal point of Christ mas in Bethlehem is the Church of St. Mary of the Nativity, sup- I posedly built over the spot where I Jesus was born. Here pilgrims from all over the world gather on Christmas Eve. Plirst there is § carol-singing in the square facing WAITING FOR SANTA What a busy, happy season — Holly wreath adorns the door; Tinsel, ribbon-scraps, the reason For the litter on the floor. Lovely scents come from the region. Where the cooking’s always done; And the packages are legion. Everyone is having fun! Cranberries are cooked and jelling, Cookies fill the big, fat crocks; Boys, playing games, are yelling— By the chimney hang the socks. I said: “I will not sleep a wink”. Dad gave his big, wide smile; Mom added; “That’s just what you think — You will dear, after awhile!” “I never sleep the NIGHT BEFORE, ’ =:imr,lv can’t — because T’d miss the knocking at the door, Of dear old Santa Claus. This is The Day of all the year That I enjoy the Most; Now that it’s here, I cannot eat. Please Mom,!— no eggs or toast’.” Evelyn A. Justice the church. Then all enter for the solemn midnight mass. After the ’ iservice, an image of Christ is car- j Tied in a procession down into the i grotto, and placed in a manger | where it lies until J anuary 6, the Feast of the Epiphany. After this ceremony, some may wander into the fields outside the' town, where perhaps shepherds long ago heard the news of the birth of Christ. All this takes place, of course, on the eve of December 25. But that’s not the end of Christmas in Bethlehem. For the Eastern Or- thodox churches celebrate the holiday on January 6, and the Ar menians observe it on January 18, which is January 6 according to the old style, or Julian calendar.
