The Spirit of Christmas Is In Giving
Symbolising the general feeling of confidence that the trials of the last five years are at last being overcome and that happier and more generous days are ahead, the Christmas rush of present buying and posting is being entered into with increased enthusiasm this ye-ar. Christmastide has greatly changed its character since it became a public religious festival. There are those who hold that from a pleasant function it has developed into a yearly tax that is almost impressive. For most of us, however, it has the virtue thab it is a time when we buy, not from rigid necessity or for self indulgence, but to give pleasure and convey kindness and goodwill to others. To this fact the Christmas festival owes its amazing survival and its ever increasing popularity. It is the one season of the year when young and old are brought together in £ spirit of cheerful goodwill and pleasant excitement.
