Most photographers of­ fer a pre-sitting confer­ ence when you make the portrait appointment. This is the time to get answers to all your questions about grooming, makeup, ward­ robe and portrait styles. And it's an opportunity to see examples of the pho­ tographer's work which may give you an idea for your own portrait. Since the pre-holiday season is one of the busiest for professional photog­ raphers, be sure to make arrangements for your portrait sitting as early as possible. This will give you the time to study the portrait previews, select the Anal views, and still have all.prints made to order and framed in time for holiday giving. And, for that special someone on your list, con­ sider a portrait gift certif­ icate he or she can redeem at a later date. It's a nice way to ask for a portrait you will always cherish. Lif t up sp i r i t s as you take down the tree The Christmas season is the most Joyous time of the entire year and it's always a little sad to see it come to an end. All the beautiful decorations are boxed away, favorite car­ ols will not be heard for another year, children re­ turn to school and adults to their jobs and gray January sets in. One way to ease the melancholy of the passing season is to pick up on the words of a favorite Christmas song and re­ serve the 6th of January for a "Twelfth Day of Christmas" party. The te­ dious and depressing job of dismantling the tree will seem brighter when shared with relatives and friends in a still-festive style. Before the work begins, have everyone guess the number of ornaments on the tree, then give a prize to the one who finally comes closest to the exact number. Serve everyone a holiday cupcake with a candle on it for making a New Year's wish. If there's a "psychic" in the crowd gather 'round for some fortune telling. Remember that the warmth and pleasure of good hospitality is never out of season, and that with your own thought and imagination you can make the end of the* Christmas season a spe­ cial, enjoyable occasion. NEVER TOO LATE Making a sweater for that special man and it won't be ready for Christ­ mas? Don't panic. Wrap the unfinished article and enclose a note reminding him that good things come to those who wait. INVITING IDEA Looking for something special for a teenager for Christmas?
