Happy feet with easy foot ca3re Christmas spirits may dim if you're not feeling comfortable from tip to toe. In particular, hectic, last-minute holiday shop­ ping can take its toll of feet -- causing fatigue, unfriendly rubs and sore spots. To minimize foot prob­ lems for Yuletide shoppers and prevent their occur­ rence, here are some help­ ful anti-friction tips from Scholl footcare experts: Wear shoes that fit prop­ erly. Even well-fitting foot­ wear may rub, so take de­ fensive measures to pro­ tect vulnerable spots -- such as tops and sides of feet and toes, ball of foot and the heel -- by apply­ ing a piece of soft moleskin adhesive to the area. If you've purchased a new pair of shoes, remove them after a day of wear, prop feet up and inspect them. If pink spots surface on the skin, it may signal irritation that can turn into corns and callouses if left untended. Ease these friction points and areas where a build-up of hard skin has developed by covering the spot with corn or callous pads -- always in the proper size and shape. Relieve that smarting sensation when brand new boots rub the ball of the foot by using a shock-ab­ sorbing foam cushion that loops over the toe to fit the area smoothly, neatly. When walking on con­ crete walkways or shop­ ping malls, insert foam- lined insoles into boots or shoes for extra comfort. Kid stuff, delight at Christmas New baby in the house? Christmas is a more spe­ cial time for baby than one would expect. Long before a child begins to walk and talk, he or she is responding to all varieties of sights and sounds, each of which is a very important learning experience. So pull out Christmas records, pin up colorful decorations, light the tree early and gather 'round it -- and let the baby of the family absorb all the joy of this wonderful season! Children love stories, and what better time is there than Christmas for the whole family to share in some old-fashioned tale- telling? Starting a week or so before Christmas, set up an after-dinner story hour. You might want to re­ search the Christmas cus­ toms of different countries for an armchair holiday tour. Or select a good Christmas storybook and read a chapter a night. You'll be surprised to see the closeness and warmth that such a quiet hour together can bring, and it will make Christmas a richer, more meaningful experience for both you and the young ones.
