Where to put this table? Oh, down by the furnace is a good place . . . you‘ll find a spot somewhere out of the way of traffic. A card table is handy for apartâ€" ment dwellers; pushed into a corner of mother‘s bedâ€" #oom, perhaps. You‘ll find the placing of a big sign pver said table which reads, "PLEASE KEEP TIDY" an excellent idea! All this stretches out the enjoyment of Christmas. mnv worrysome things out of the way early conâ€" } ;o. to a good mental attitude, enabling us to ccgl)o unexpected â€"which, as you know, invariably fi. to happen when we‘re busiest! Iop es nAE c 2 uis T A perfect idea, and one which we have used around our home for more years than I can count, is to set up a "wrapping table". Used by all the family, it contains a good assortment of Christmas seals, tags, ribbon, paper .. . as wel} as string, glue adhesive tape, and geveral pairs of old scissors (warning, Mother! hide your best ones!) It sems to encourage the family to get their wrapping done as they buy; with everything set up, ready for them. Nice, too, to be able to give a little thought to the wrappings â€" to be somewhat creative. {The night before Christmas is no time to try to be creative!) ; Take Christmas cards, for instance. Try saving leftâ€"over cards and you‘ll probably find them all stuck tagether by next year. And yet some will buy their next year‘s cards right after Christmas. I‘d say one‘s ideas could change in a year‘s time, and one is liable to look at them askance with the thought, "I must have been out of my mind to buy those!" Time To Snoop I think all would agree that just about now is the perfect time to take a week off from the usual schedule of spare time and get the Christmas shopping done. It‘s not too eatly, and certainly not too late â€" just about right! One is not so liable to buy in haste right now. There‘s time to snoop around and find out what our friends and relations need, or would like to have. Would not one be liable to forget about the storedâ€" away packages? Forget about them and buy more? And what about that musty smell many things get when boxed up too long? The recipient might think you got the thing last year for Christmas and didn‘t like it! Those who start on next year‘s shopping on Boxing Day, or the day after that, are brave souls, if what we hear of the mobs and mobs of "bargain hunters" downâ€" town is correct. As well as risking a poke in the eye while trying to hold one‘s own in the mob; what about the articles fought for â€" are they worth it? Seems to me that late Christmas shoppers have to put up with a poor selectionâ€"what must it be like AFTER Christmas? Father‘s Oneâ€"Sleeved Sweater Gals who are mad about sewing or making things, invariably cross themselves up‘by deciding to make all their Christmas gifts (even to a handâ€"knitted sweater for ‘Father) without leaving enough time to finish the job. While the rest of the family are happily engaged in wrapping presents or trimming the tree (along about December 23rd) "Seamstress Sal" might still have a couple of feltâ€"covered brick doorâ€"stops, and five frilly organdy aprons to finish, not to mention the sweater which will have to be wrapped minus a sleeve. Father won‘t mind. He knows his girl. And she‘ll be so exâ€" hausted after Christmas she‘ll probably decide to give it to him (again} for Easter. It‘s not the gift, it‘s the thought, you know. Another famous saying is "anticipation is better than realization.‘" Preâ€"Christmas dreaming and planâ€" ning must come in this category because to get right down to our Christmas shopping could be likened to the act of plunging into a cold lake for a swim. We can‘t seem to get started, but it‘s wonderful once we dol Can‘t help wondering if there is a creature in the whole world who ever manages to make her preâ€" Christmas "dreams" come true. I almost made it one year. My "Guardian Angel" must have been close by, for it was about December 16th, I think, when I had everything ready (everything important, that is, like gifts bought and wrapped) when suddenly I had to go to hospital. Spent Christmas there â€" which really wasn‘t much fun. It was wonderful, though, how I seemed to feel an urge to get things done early that year. It hasn‘t happened since. The housewife‘s dream might also include a picture of herself coddling the Christmas cake along, following the recipe to the last footnote . . . ("if desired, brush cake at intervals with a little brandy") as she pictures herself going down to the cupboard in the basement bottle of brandy in one hand, paint brush in the other â€"every day or so. The risk here is that in some cases the cake isn‘t the only thing that ripens. Housewives‘ Christmas dreams include cakes and puddings "ripening‘ nicely in their tins before the end of November; hard sauce, shortcake, Christmas candy and mince pies also ripening, or whatever they do (I know what ours would do â€" down the hatch!). Nothing is left to do except little things like help the children make their cards; string povcorn for the tree, make paper chains, or other decor&tions such as those made of egqg shells painted, glued and stuck up with "jules", braid, and other such colorful odds and ends. An Angel Playing The Banjo It must be admitted that it is stretching the truth some to include the decorating of egq shells (for the tree you know) in a housewife‘s list of "little" things to do. To produce ONE egg, beautifully painted outside and in, with an angel inside (playing a banjo), framed in pearls and ready to hang â€" I should estimate would involve the use of one dozen eags, two small cans of paint (different colors), glue, beads, several old pairs of earâ€"rings, braid bits, colored string. paraiffin, and about six hours‘ of time. (We got the idea out of a Christmas magazine.) The other 11 eggs of course would be in various stages of ruin â€" albeit decorated and ready to hang, at least to the children‘s satisfaction.
