Christmas Chimes
Do not make Christmas a day of balancing accounts of gifts. Santa Claus comes down the chimney when love kindles the fire. Christmas is the day when the children get up without being called. Better is a little gift where love is, than a necklace of diamonds for appearance's sake.
The most approved invitation etiquette for a Christmas dinner is that prescribed in Luke xiv., 12-14. Give your wife something for herself, not a piece of furniture or an article for family use. Ditto as to your husband. How much brighter the fires on our own Christinas hearths will look when we know that we have been the means of brightening a fire that had grown dim on some other hearthstone. Good Housekeeping, 1889
