I love every- thing associated with 1^—the surging crowds, the gay decorations and the concentrated preparations for weeks preliminary to it. Somehow at this time of the calendar I always wish I were a native of Canada, Scandinavia or Russia, where a "white" Christmas Is always guaranteed with each gift! Oh, If it only snows here for this one I—well, maybe I would believe In Santa Claus. If you are fortunate enough to have an open fire. Invite your friends and their friends, too, for surely New York can b« a bleak and cruel place on a Christmas eve. They'll enjoy decorating the tree, hanging holly and assorting gifts as much as you will.
