Holiday Visits Holiday time is chock full of visits to friends' hordes for fireside chats, parties and dinner. A full social schedule means a full list of bread-and-but­ ter gifts as special thanks for holiday hospitality. There's a simple solution to the question of what to bring the hostess. And, the gift-giving gets the young­ sters into the act, too. It all starts in the kitchen with an easy-to-follow re­ cipe, Christmas cookie cut­ ters, food coloring and candy trimmings. Once the batter is ready, the kids have their chance to cut out their favorite cookie shapes. After the aroma of freshly baked cookies fills the house, the youngsters set up for the next step while the cookies cool. When the cookies have cooled, the children start decorating the treats with candy sprinkles, gum drops and other sweet toppings. Sugar icing can be made, with a few drops of coloring mixed in, for glazing the cookies. The cookie gift tins are then covered with gay wrap­ ping paper or coloring crea- tions prepared in advance. Post Position Fragrances of Christmas are more than evergreens and fresh baked cookies. Men on your gift list can select their favorite after-shave from a three-bottled "Hitching Post."
