PACKING CRATING SHIPPING off and away. Scrooge Was Wrong j ET'S FACE the fact that just about this time L. Christmas probably gets more groans than cheers. There's all that shopping to be clone, all those cards to send out and a variety of other chores which eonie under the heading of Christmas spirit. In this frame of mind it seems that old.Si-rooge had something of a case when he inveighed against the whole business. Yet no one can really afford to be like him. Let's put it a little more truthfully. No otie really wants to be like him. Despite all the extra work that goes with it, the Christmas season has a special lustre of its own which brightens the whole atmosphere of living. Have you ever noticed how people seem to smile more about this time? Have you ever listened to a Christmas carol and had a feeling of warmth and kinship unlike anything you experience at any other time? Have you ever felt more generous and tolerant at Christmas time than your disposition normally allows? Undoubtedly you have. The effect of Christmas is no isolated personal experience. It has the quality of being able to embrace all in its mysterious winter magic. Christmas is a time of hope 'and reflection and an awareness that life is something more than two plus two making four. For this brief period the gentler instincts of man are allowed their full . range. He becomes a being gifted with extraordinary powers of kindness, prayer and fellowship. He would sooner be friend than antagonist.
