Christmas Day is supposed to mean to Christians, celebra- tion of the day on which Jesus Christ was born. A remem-. brance ta Ioved once on that day was meant to carry out the themne of love, peace and hap.- pinots; ta commemnorate God's gift to us, and the gifts whien the Wise Men brought ta Je- SUS. It becomes harder and hard- er for people ta rernember these thinga at Christmas; ta remember that these are th-a things that matter: that on these are based the Christian family festival with all its be- loved customs. We do flot be- lieve that it is harder because You and I are at fault. Many of us are trying very hard ta cling ta what we believe 15 thàre truc Christmas. W. believa, that it ie harder because we are having ta brace ourselves lagainst a persistent, high-pow- ered onslaught. Thot anslaught. we maintain, is commercializa- tion ta the saturation point.
