This is a year that has three Sundays this week, or at least it seems that way. Is it because of my age or do you find it confusing as well? I have a terrible time trying to keep track of the days, so it was fortunate (or was it?) when the newspaper called to remind me that the story for this week had to be in on Tuesday by noon. Now ordinarily I would write the column early Tuesday morning, but somehow this week it slipped my mind. I guess the reason for that was because Tuesday will be our Christmas Day and somehow I had other things to think about. Making adjustments for Christmas is not new to me and with Nancy in the nursing profession we are still following the same pattern. Most hospital staff members are given the choice of Christmas or New Year's and in many cases they alternate years. If the choice is based on New Year's Eve parties it is easier to work Christmas Day and make an alteration there. Last year we celebrated Christmas on the 23rd and that was a bit weird, because we had already had all our festivities when people were still rushing around doing their last minute shopping. I'll be too busy to encounter the shoppers this year but it will seem strange attending the Christmas Eve service at church and being involved in the exchange of greetings as we leave. When everyone says Merry Christmas, I'll more than likely reply, "Yes it was, thank you."

But you have to admit, it seems more like Christmas, and, for those who asked for skis or other snow fun equipment, they will be happy to be able to use it. The news has been reporting the en- thusiasm all ski resort owners are ex- periencing this year. You don't have to be as old as Iam to remember years when it wasn't this great. At this point I began wondering what I did on Christmas Eve away back when. So I went to the attic and unearthed my first diary. Why was it in the attic? Well isn't that where all the an- tiques are kept that are not in use! It wasn't that exciting but it whipped me back a few years, believe me. In 1934 I received my cap. My probationary period was finished. Being able to wear your cap was a very proud moment. Most nurses today detest the use of the cap and many of them do not wear one. It depends on the hospital policy. Of course it is hard for an old timer like me to accept their attitude because I was always so proud to wear one. I felt I had worked very hard to earn it. To me it symbolized suc- cess or achievement. I was on night duty that year which was 12 hour duty 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. When I reported for duty that night with my cap on, I no sooner got in the door when one of the nurses grabbed me by the arm and marched me into the utility room. Too bad someone hadn't taken a snapshot of me, for pictures might speak louder than words. Apparently I had the corners of my cap over my ears instead of tucked behind them. I had walked mighty tall from the residence to the hospital but by the time I was given the gears for wearing my cap wrong, I had come down a peg or two. The diary says in 1941 it was pouring rain on Christmas Eve. I was working in Soldier's Memorial Hospital, Orillia, as director of nursing education and brother Don drove to bring me home for Christmas. In 1943 it was very cold, about 22 below, and that was before metric! Christmas Eve we went to the Hostess House in Orillia. This was during the war and, with a training camp in Orillia, the Anglican Parish Hall was turned into a Hostess Club for the servicemen. We were home early and at midnight one of the staff dressed as Santa and we opened our gifts in the Residence Rec room. The hospital was very busy that year and to add insult to injury I came down with the flu. And after more than 40 years we realize we have to much to be thankful for. There is a: semblance of Peace on Earth, especially in our own little sphere. Families will have spent Christmas together and merchants are happy because everyone "overspent." The flu is still a force which has not been conquered and was prevalent this year. So we come to that time of year when we look back on 1985 and for- ward to 1986.
