CHRISTMAS CHRYSOLITES.
By
Krys.
A summer opening—the Christmas stock-
The great Christmas presence—Santa Claus.
At Christmas never look a gift cigar in the ash.
Lombard Street stock-kings don’t hang out on Christmas Eve.
A white Christmas makes a grave under taker.
A Christmas three—Stocking, Santa Claus, and present.
Icy pavements show which way the Christinas slippers go.
Christmas Tippers”—Those who kiss teneath the mistletoe.
It isn’t the longest stocking that catches the most Christmas gifts.
A sign of Christmas—errand boys are getting swifter and more polite.
Christmas is coming, but the sweet “buy and buy” is already with us.
A cheap Christmas present—Offering your heart to the girl whose money you love.
Christmas Eve proverb—One stocking < n the mantelpiece is worth two on the feet.
The cheapest kind of a Christmas gift—‘l present you with the compliments of the season.”
A cast iron turkey may be a substantial Christmas gift to a poor relation, but it is ruinous to digestion.
Now for frolic, fun and folly, And away with melancholy, While we dance beneath the holly, Never missing as we go, Pouting lips of pretty Polly, Posing ’neath the mistletoe.
