It's Chronic ? This
Santa Claustrophobia
The spirit of Yuletide is closing
in. It's later than you think?
haven't you seen those little no
tices (usually tempered by car
toons) telling you ominously that
there are practically no shopping
days left until Christmas?
| It seems to me that either the
years are getting shorter or that
the periods between Christmases
are shrinking. It seems but yes
terday when I was looking over a
whole mess of Christmas wrappings
and ribbons, trying to decide whi.t
I could salvage for next year.
Nowadays you scarcely have ex
claimed dutifully over a pair of
gloves four sizes too small than
warning that the deadline for over
seas Christmas packages is ap
proaching very fast.
Personally, my annual attack of
Santa Claustrophobia now has its
onset in July, just when the ther
mometer is reaching record highs.
There's always someone around
who has just returned from Eu
rope, California, Canada or some
such place to announce with com
placency and superiority that she
has found the most wonderful lit
tle out-of-the-way shoppe where she
did all her Christmas shopping in
about 15 minutes. This not only
fractures any feelings of friendship
I might have had for the person,
but it starts me wondering about
my own Christmas shopping. How
ever, I do nothing more than won
der.
Personally, I have always been
a stout advocate of last-minute
shopping. By Christmas eve, I al
ways say, you are in just the right
mood for shopping and it's fun to
buck the crowds because most of
the people have been to office-par
ties and are in no mood for com
bat.
But because Christmas now
comes much sooner than it used
to, I have a distinct recollection
of last Christmas eve. It was
around fi p.m. in the evening and
I was running like a pursued fox
from store to store trying to check
off some 17 names remaining on
my list.
"Next year," I said grimly, while
elbowing a red-faced and deter
mined gentleman from a vantage
point at a perfume counter, "I will
start my Christmas shopping really
Thaw You
TM INK. r
you hear the postmaster general
early ? like day after tomorrow."
My idea was that all through the
year I would pick up a little item
here and a little item there ? when
ever I saw something that made
me think of Aunt Ella or Uncle
(i us. ? \
So here it is again? practically
Christmas eve, and i haven't
thought about Aunt Ella or Uncle
Gus since I made the resolution.
I can't imagine what would appeal
to them ? so I suppose Aunt Ella
will get another oversize eye-drop
per to baste an oven-roast and Un
cle Gus, who doesn't drink, will get
some new type of bar-supply as my
present.
My ambition, if I recall, was to
open my closet door on Christmas
eve and find within, all neatly
marked, a complete assortment of
Christmas presents. 1 opened the
closet door the other night and I
found the only things therein? ex
cept my own scanty wardrobe ? are
four wrapped and dusty Christmas
presents which I neglected to de
liver LAST Christinas. This in
cludes a nylon slip for a cousin
who doesn't like nylon, and a cou
ple of detective stories for remoter
relatives. The last undelivered
present is a compact, and I never
got around to putting a tag on it
and 1 can't remember for whom it
was Jestined.
Obviously none of these four
giftees are going to give me pres
ents this year ? and they are going
to be downright embarrassed when
my year-late gifts show up.
I figure it's already too late to
have my Christmas cards printed,
so I'll have to decide right now
either to stop sending cards or sign
them in my own handwriting, with
a personal message.
