In turn, great works of art depicting the story of the birth of Christ have, through the years, en- riched the lives and enhanced the spiritual insights of millions. Earliest Christian art was simple and graphic, as clear and easy to appre- ciate as a comic strip. Later, religious paintings became stilted. Then, Italian Renais- sance painters instilled renewed warmth and hu- manity into art, renewing, too, individual art appreciation, through their natural, lifelike creations. Their work gained much from the stimulus of the changing times and the new approach to art, fos- tered by the support of the Medici and commissions for paintings and sculpture from the. church. For instance, Raphael, famous for the "Sistine Madonna," came to Rome from Florence to do a fres- co decoration in the Vati- can at the same time that Michelangelo was painting the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Artists from other coun- tries, too, traveled to Italy, there to experience and be inf luenc ed by Renaissance thought and feeling.

Twas the night before Christmas when a!! through the store, ! Not a creature was stirring, but a can of Benjamin Moore; f The children were nestled so safe from fire's harm, J Since I just had purchased a new smoke alarm; ! While Ma with her roller, and me with my brush, | Were trying to finish the job with a rush,-- ! When out on the lawn there was such a racket, The mailbox had fallen, and needed a new bracket. The site on the lawn made me look out and stare, | I saw Santa, the reindeer, and supplies from OAKVILLE PAINT and HARDWARE f Santa walked in through the door not a moment to spare, As,he unwrapped his bundles and sat in the chair. He spoke of the store and all that it brings, I said that I knew, and have purchased several things. He said they have wallpaper, hammers, shovels, and paints, and the stock in general carried out by mere saints. The manager that works there is so very keen. Worked with hardware, and mixed paints since he was nineteen. If you need any advice, don't be afraid to ask, He knows how to help out with most any task. Be it painting or wallpaper, or little nuts and bolts, Or those faulty sockets that give you the jolts. Thanks to your purchases you've been very dear, We hope to see you now and in the coming New Year. byCina DeSanto "MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR' from
