Children learn the real meaning of Christmas when you let fhem participate in holiday activ ities, says Queenie B. Mills, University of Illinois child develop ment specialist. Baking cookies and making Christmas decorations are two ways in which children can help with the festivities. And even small children can string pop corn and' cranberries, for tree trimmings. Making gifts" for someone special is a project that even a three-year-old can do. Children can fill pretty jars with sand to make attractive doorstops. They can make clove apples to add spice to handkerchief drawers. Even their simple drawings make gifts that parents will cherish. Making Christmas cards shows children that there is more to the cards than the actual sending. You particularly want friends to know that you are thinking of them at Christmas, and children can learn this early, says Miss Mills. • Christmas music is another opportunity to put real meaning into Christmas. Singing carols together as a family can be fun for all. Children of all ages enjoy singing such songs as "Jingle Bells" and "Away in a Manger." By joining in Christmas activities, children develop the Christmas spirit while they are young. Christmas is for youngsters as well as for adults. Avoid Haste In Holiday Season Allowing last-minute jobs to accumulate usually causes people to become nervous and careless. The result is often an accident, says O. L. Hogsett, extension safety specialist at the. University of Illinois.. With the holiday season at hand, you will probably be entertaining. So start * your meals in time to avoid haste and confusion. A simple, easily prepared meal eliminates the need for haste and reduces the threat of kitchen accidents. When guests are expected, plan your meal as far in advance as possible. To avoid last-minute haste, plan to serve meats, salads and desserts that- can be prepared in advance. A good man ager keeps a well-stocked reserve; for unexpected guests. Then she will not lose her composure1 in such emergencies.
