Ribbons and designs on gitt
packages are wonderful "icing
on the cake ’ but they look
best when the paper is smoothly
and attractively wrapped around
the lx»x
Horo ore the steps a professional
uses in wrapping packages:
Place the paper far* down on
the table Put the box, upside
down if possible, on the paper
Place it s,> the design will show
L-v * ^*o L*.. I urlvnnt uitn, tits*
package is wrapped and tied
If tne lx>x cannot he turned
upside down cut th*' paper about
1 2" wider than i- needed and
turn the raw edge under Arrange
so that the overlap will come
under the ribbon or trim you plan
to use
Cut the papei wide enough t<>
go around the box and overlap
1 1 2 inches dess for a very small
box', and long enough to extend
a little more than half the depth
of the box at the ends This ex
tending length will have to vary
slightly according to the shape of
the box and should be a Irifile
more for a deep box than for a
shallow one. Don't scrimp.
Bring the paper up over tho
sides, overlapping as near the cen-
ter of the Ik)X as possible, and
fasten with a gunured seal or
with tape
Finish one ena at a time Fold
the sides in smoothly. Fold tho
top, which is to be the bottom of
tne package, down iirsi, then
bring the fold that is on the table
up over all the folds, securing
with tape or sticker
Turn the box over You are
now n arty to add your own

MISTLETOE AM) Yl EE LOG SAII)
TO II 11 E PHE-CHKISTMI.S OlilGI\
No one really knows exactly the
origin, or even the meaning, of the
Yule log We know, however that
it is of pre-Christmas origin. The
Ancient Druids blessed it with
great ceremony to celebrate the be-
ginning of the wintor season.
In some lands even today, the
Yule log is decorated with flow-
ers and wreaths, aim,tinted with
wine, then put in the fireplace and
set ablaze
To bring good luck they tell you,
the log must not be allowed to
burn out during the Christmas sen
son Besides, a part of it has to be
kept dai the fire next v* ir
It is believed that the a lies of
the Yule log have the power to
increase th*' fertility of the land
Thus, in many places the farmers
scatter the ashes over their land
on New Year’s Day .
Atiothot custom that came to us
from pre-Christmas times, is kiss-
ing under the mistletoe Once the
mistletoe was used as a weapon of
death According to Norse myth-
ology, the god of Evil, named Loki,
planned to destroy the god of the
life-giving vvormth Balder
Raider’s mother who was the
most influential of all the god-
desses, obtained a promise from all
living things that they would not
harm Balder All agreed, except
the mistletoe who hadn’t been a-k
ed S<>, it was with a mistletoe ar-
row that Loki induced a blind man I
to kill the sun god However, high |
er powers intervened, and Balder j

I and she, the mother ol Balder, saw
to it that it was nver again used
to do harm.
The custom ol giving a kiss of
love or peace beneath the mistle-
toe is ail assurance that it will
never again be used as an instru-
ment of evil
