The Sandhills Mental Health

TIPS FOR THE
HOST OR HOSTESSES:
?Considerate hosts and hostesses
have non-alcohol beverages
available for their guests. Many
guests will prefer these thirst
quenching, delicious, "alcohol
less" drinks.
?Don't rely on alcohol to keep
your party going strong. Music,
games, dancing, and good conver
sation are some of the most impor
tant ingredients for a successful
party.
?Don't "push" alcohol - when a
guest says "no thanks" to an
alcohol drink, don't insist.
?Always serve food with alcohol -
not just after. Food slows down
the rate at which alcohol is absorb
ed into the body.
Christmas Is A Worldwide Festival
Christmas is the most nostalgic
of all festive occasions and its an
cient joy is truly reflected in the
world-wide customs of this very
special holiday.
The singing of old-time
Christmas carols is a celebrated
British festivity. This charming
custom is still a favorite in b6th
England and America today,
where enchanting voices carry the
musical message of Christmas.
In certain parts of Italy, children
hang stockings near the head of
their beds. An old fairy is sup
ported to visit each child and leave
either sweetmeats or stones in the
stocking, depending upon whether
the child has been good or naughty
throughout the year.
In Spain, everyone must be able
to claim at least one good deed for
the year before Christmas day ar
rives. Many Spaniards stay awake
on Christmas Eve until midnight,
when church bells announce the
birth of the Holy Child.
The pinata breaking is a well
known custom of Mexico. On d
Christmas Eve, a papier-mache'
figure filled with toys and candy is
suspended from the ceiling;
children are blindfolded and then
allowed to break the pinata with a
stick to release the goodies.
In Portugal, children leave their
shoes in front of the fireplace so
that Santa can fill them with gifts
on Christmas Eve.
