christmas everybody isnt that just the loveliest greet- ink it it come from the heart what more could one wish even for one nearest and dearest there are different ways of expressing ones christmas wishes just as there ar different ways of celeb- ratine the yuletlde season but if it nil adds up to a hajaivnrut mas then it covers all that w could aosslbly wish for one another doesnt tt several weejes ago a friend asked me this question what is your first thought in connection with christmas it was one of several on a questionnaire which she had been asked to have completed the query intrigued me and i in turn put the question to several of my friends now i am asking you what is your first thought i con nection wllh christmas give yourwlf an honest answer and you will know just what christmas means to you in the meantime perhaps you would like to know some of the answers uiat were given to me one young fellow said that lo hltju chrlatmas and carols were synonymous- carols a lovely thought it would be hard to think of christmas without them wouldnt it remember as child ren how we loved to sing m in a mnngor that lovely little enrol is still the same isnt it but now we watch and listen ns anoth er generation carries its message in song and story jqy to the world another lovely carol i remember lytnsr in bed alert and listening in my lit tle room across the atlantic wait ing for twelve oclock on christmas eve the big clock in the church on the market square would strike the hour then almost immediately away in the distance 1 would hear the wait playing wellloved and familiar carols sometimes it would be the town band some time the salvation army then as the last strains from the musical instruments faded into the distance enrol singers would carry on spreading the glad tidings with their joyous and willing voices once again the challenge would tints out 0 come ah ye falthrul o come lot us adorvj him another answer to my question this time by the father of n grown family my first thought jn con nection with christina 11 is the get ting together of ones family and the remembrance of other christ- mases past and gone to me christmas has always been a land mark in my mfe i can look back now and recall every christinas at home with my father and moth er in france during the war in hospital and later with my wife and children- around me yes christmas to me is just that a family circle as completers we can make it possibly that answer will be re- peittedlmany times very by those who read this column perhaps it is the simplicity of that christmas so mnny yearn ago of joseph and mnry ami the infant jesuij a complete family picture perhaps it is that which neemk to make a fnmlly gathering so bollc to us of wha ought to be looking back througl if we can remember our homes as a happy time of loving and glvlj sldcrntlon for the 0i1 standing for the yoi can be quite sure the christian message of peace and goodwin dbsnlteiy had a place in oar hearts and our home if we hare such memories then we have much fbr which to thank our parent yea it is surely a wonderful thing for a g person to be able to look back to a happy childhood symbolised by many happy chrlst- mases even though there might not be too much of this worlds goods to do with but if you are young with meet of your life before you and with utile children in your home then whntfver you do give them mem orles memories of christmas to treasure through the years if you are in doubt as to whether you are giving your children the right ktad of christmas ask yourself this question when my children are grown up what will their first thought be in connection with christmas the answer depends on you and so again a happy christ mas is my wish for you n christ
