Have You Done Your Christmas Shoppina Yet?"
Mike order and system to a point. But to me there is something \ planned."   >. ; ridiculously annoying about being 'greeted around the middle of j.   ]. ury, r   .-,,r >;?. November with "Have you done your Christmas shopping yet?" My j taw      f.v  c > .{, first impulse is a sarcastic retort like "Don't be an ass, Of course / c^;, .i-/u 1 haven't!" But realizing that thi~ is no,way to k^-ep friends, T manage a u0- no! Have you?*' I knv.v he-fore.-h'-* open* h<-r mouth that the answer will be "Of cnur-e!" ^\ pressed with all. the smugness arid satisfaction of a- routine mind' which �{**�.ts. up. in"th>- morning-, make? out a long list, allots so miich. per capita'per each name, and announces to a long-Piifferlng husband .(of 'Course--, he'.would have to be long:sufforing . . .''jx-bat .cd?� - ?)� that Today being the 19.th" of November,'>he will g^-t- down town, nnd 'ir/'t her 'Christ n .as. shopping rlone.

I like tp-use up my November in a sort of .'way' .which, stores up for me a ho/lge-podge of 'pleasant memories.- and to cram Christmas into its own alloted month.
I like to rush with a mad crowd just a few days before Christinas. The frantic wear and tear of Christmas shopping' rubs riff my veneer, of .cynicism,, and the .-good; .old Christmas spirit -begins to
trickle' through, my hardenintr arteries. - In November no amount of radio or advertising-, fanfare will or can get me into the Christmas
.mood. I'm ton raUonal. T see everything with a slightly jaundiced eye. I'll even manage to.�'get' t/> a way. of. thinking where I'm ready

The Christmas of 19">0 is one reason why T become annoyed with Mrs/ Beetle-Eyes; That year." thanks to her. .1 startled my family by an announcement on the 1 st of November that it was high time we got ready for Christmas.- All our Christinas shopping, assisted by Eaton's broadside which -announced 'Tre-Christrnas Half-Price Sale", was finished by the. end of November. It \vas," t must admit, an orderly routine- No wear r>r tear.,Sales gir!^.were politely helpful, their only error being their remark} "This is so nice -for. an an layers: ary or a birthday." When, I said rather embarras.sedly~and why 1 should �feerembarrassed X-don't'-k'novv�.-that it "was a Christmas gift; the girls all eye I me as if i were something .downright, peculiar; in a city where anything and everything happens. . - For all my co-operalion. 'the Post -Office slipped up badly'.'Cards .which were posted in complianceiwith Pe-st-Offiee Bulletins, turned up at the doorsteps of.:my various friends with undue"..'haste, and five or .seven days before Christmas, .my plmne would rincr with comments like .-'My, you do believe in doing things .'ahea-d of time' Thanks .for' the 'Christmas card.
