When decorating the tree, position bulbs so they are not touching branches or needles. Use fire-resistant decorations, not lace, paper, or other flammable items, on your tree. Remember to turn Christmas lights off before you leave the house or go to bed for the night. Hang fights in their proper places. Don’t use indoor lights outside. These lights are not waterproof and could short-circuit in rainy or snowy weather. Don’t string outdoor lights inside, jither. Outdoor lights bum hotter tian indoor lights and can create a fire hazard if hung on a Christmas tree. Be especially careful when hanging outdoor ’ights on rooftops or in tall trees. Stay clear of electrical lines and make sure neighter you nor your decrations come into contact with those lines. Buy safety-approved electrical gifts. When buying electrical toys or ap- plaiances, look for labels certifying that the items have been approved by a recognized safety testing agency. Don’t overload electrical circuits. During the holidays, people often plug in extra lights, appliances, and port- able heaters, and run extension cords throughout their homes. Overloading electrical wiring can cause the circuit to overload and start a fire.

Christmas in Mexico A few days before Christmas the Mexican family forms a procession and goes from room to room through­ out the house, symbolizing Mary and Joseph seeking shelter as rhey went Iroininntoinn. Santa’s Creation The first Santa Claus picture was printed in the 1863 H arper’s Weekly and a book of Christmas poems. Thomas Nast, a 23-year-old German immigrant, was to become Santa’s most famous artist. Santa used to be portrayed as the Dutch Santa of Washington Irving’s "Knickerbock­ er History" but he now became the Santa of "The Night Before Christ­ mas.” Now Santa was fat and jolly, decked out in a red suit with a wide leather belt, boots, and o f course a fluffy white beard. It was interesting also that Santa’s designer, Nast, also went on to be­ come famous as the designer of the Republican elephant and the Demo­ cratic donkey.

We wish you the joys and pleasures of this Holiday celebrating the birth of the Holy Child. Many thanks for your kindness.

— One cold winter night, a wonderful thing happened. A great light began to shine from the heavens. Brighter and brighter it beamed down upon the shepherds.

Startled by this heavenly vision, these men had only one thought: “The King has come!” they cried out. “The King we have watched and waited!" Their hearts were filled with gladness. They went at once to Bethelehem-climbing the hills with eager haste. They reached the village, which was all in darkness. In the sky a lustrous star shone down, with a silver light, directly upon an old stable.

The shepherds hastened to the stable where the star pointed the way. It was strewn with hay and dusty cobwebs. Behold, in a manger lay the beautiful baby-The Infant King-wrapped warm in swaddling clothes.

W e're bringing all kinds of good wishes for a happy holiday and m ay It grow In the coming year. Many thanks, friends. gruver state bank GRUVER. TEXAS 79040 Hansford Supply PHONE (SOO) 733-6001 EBK 210 Main 733-2469 Gruver, Texas \
