We are asking that people donate new toys, new clothing, food, paper products, soap, etc. We have lists of children all ages, from infants through high school.

To help kids ap­ preciate the customs and traditions of various cultures, Camp Fire, the national youth agency, has a project called "Many Cultures Make Up Our World." According to Debra Connor, project director, environment is one factor that influences how people celebrate holidays. Take Santa Claus, for example. In Syria, a hot Mediterranean country, a man in a fur suit riding in a sled pulled by reindeer would seem out of place. So instead of Santa, Syrian children look for their presents to be delivered by the Youngest Camel, an animal that is familiar to them. In Brazil, where Christmas falls in the middle of the summer, Papa Noel comes in through the window because the chimneys, if there are any, are too small. For the New Year, Japanese families decorate their houses with bamboo, evergreen and straw rope, all common items in Japan. The decorations symbolize long life and strong ties. Many holidays had their beginnings as a way to celebrate the changing of the seasons, says Ms. Connor. For example, Chanukah and Christmas are celebrated near the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. Passover and Easter fall near the spring equinox, when day and night are equal in length. 1250 North Green St. McHenry 385-0806 ALL CHRISTMAS MERCHANDISE Choose from: •Christmas Cords (packaged & individuat)*Tags •Christmas Tree Lights "Wraps "Packaged Bows •Gift Boxes •Christmas Candy
