The kindergarten sang, "Ru- doîf the Red Nosed Reindeer. " coached by their teachers Dawn Lord and Janice Hen- derson. This was 'quite an accomplishment for tiny tots.

Christmas is tomorrow, the day after and ail the days after that you count - if you make it that way. For every day there are scores and hundreds and thousands of pleçjL who need the special something that makes Christmas what it is. You may neyer get to know these people. Or you may meet them turming a corner. Or you may discover that they work in'your office or even live with you in your home. Everyone wants a ittie something of Christmas every day. Not a present. Not a box of cigars or a bottie of perfume. Not a doli or a mechanical toy. They want and they need something that each of us individually can give - and feel the better for giving. Something of oursel ves. Kindness. Understanding. Patience., Tolerance. Faith. Goodwill. You could probably coin a thousand names for it - including love - and neyer really namne it. You know, though, when you've givenit. For you feel better inside - knowing you've made someone else feel better inside. It's a warm feeling. It's a wonderful feeling of ... Christmas. Yes, Christmas is a good name for it. And every day in the year we will try to feel it - by making someone else feel it. And we can. For Christmas is always tomorrow.
