A tour up one street and down the other, all over town ls rewarding, as lawns, loottops, windows and doorways sparkle with multi-colored lights ind displays of Christmas trees, greenery and candles. The home ?/ M£ fn<J, Mrs. Fred Hendley on the Bat Cave road is worth a special trip to see each year. The Wyams home on Crawford street nas an outdoor Christmas tree glowing on the lawn, covered with colorful and beautifully arranged h?.huts- The Kimball Miller home, with a large picture window fac ing Catawba avenue, attracts much attention because of the or iginal holiday scenes it features each \ uletide. Kimball Miller, Jr. is responsible for the unique dec oratmn, which this year depicts a skating party on a frozen lake of a beautiful blue, surrounded by snow covered hills. Donnie Gibbs has constructed a oanta ( laus complete with sleigh and reindeer on the roof of his home, and has floodlighted it in such a manner that it is clearly visible from various parts of town. The Gibbs home is on the hill on Maple street which parallels Main street. Mr. and Mrs. M. G. Turn er s living room window is espec ially attractive. It is surrounded with a row of blue lights, and young Alvin’s Christmas tree is visible through the window. All of the merchants have dec orated their places of business in various ways, but the most unus ual is Faw's Plumbing Co. window arranged by Rill Faw who divided the plate glass into small panes with realistic drifts of snow in the right-hand lower corners. All of What Christmas Means to Me. Christmas means a lot to me. It is the birthday of Jesus instead of merely a day of giving and re ceiving gifts. The day is set aside in holy worship of His birth, so we should think of the true meaning of Christmas instead of Santa Claus each Christmas. Think of your gifts you send this year as those that the three Wise Men gave Jesus at his birth, and your Christmas carols as the ones the angels sang that night. If every ~“v' vvivwmvcu viiv. uuc UJL Christmas this year, I think we would have a happier nation. By Carolyn Stroud. What Christmas Means to Me. This is what Christmas means to me, It means Christ was born to die on the tree. He was born to save us from sin; This includes children, women, and men. To some it means business; To some it means happiness. But of course you have to have a tree, Or it wouldn’t be Christmas for you and for me. By Wendell Lee Brown. What Christmas .Means to Me. To me Christmas means the birthday of Jesus. It means the act of Riving gifts as the Wise Men brought gifts to Jesus. To little children it means San ta’s coming and the giving of gifts. Christmas means the giving of Christmas plays with the Wise Men and the Shepherds coming to worship the new born King. Christmas is a wonderful time, and I think we should think of it as the birthday of Jesus instead of thinking only of giving gifts. —By Ann Hall. Christmas. Christmas means a lot of things To all the girls and boys, To little ones it means just one— Santa will bring them toys. But most of all it means to us It was the day that Christ was born. Everyone came from near and far They followed the bright and shining star They found Him in a stable dim Away, far off in Bethlehem. Today they still worship Him Away, far over the sea, And if you will do the same— What a great child you will be! —By Evelyn Rhodes. What Christmas Means to Me. About this time of year there comes an enchantment in the air. There is especially to the young ster- a thought of Santa and toys, which, of course, is the spirit of giving. But the main thing which you should think of is Christ. If there was no Savior there would be no Christmas. The things which make Christmas are Carolers standing in the white glittering snow, and inside, you find candles standing with boughs of holly and mistle toe on the mantle of a nice, warm, cozy fireplace. Adding to this is the sweet laughter of a small cl ild underneath a Christmas tree, shining bright with a color ful array of lights. All this put together makes a beautiful scene of Christmas. -—By Dian Miller. The Meaning of Christmas. Christmas is a time of great joy. Many years ago, a Savior was born in a lowly stable. No one knows the exact date but a person as im portant as Jesus should have a birthday. The birthday of a King gradually became December 25. To some Christmas is the most wonderful holiday of all. It is a day of giving and getting. All around Christmas Day there are decorations, trees, wreaths, lights, and all kinds of greenery. Every body decorates. From the great trees and lights down to the little bells and holly boughs, there is beauty. There is beauty because the hearts of the people are filled with beauty —Frank Justice try THE CLASSIFIEDS! ! I ! -hese, together with hustling shop pers, the chimes, the carols and me lighted churches, show that the Town of Old Fort is ready for Christmas. Baptist Sunday School Parties.
