thronged with shoppers. In the toy departments long queues of children await their turn for a Jet-propelled Rocket Trip to the Moon, or for a dip In the bran-sack of the woollen- whiskered Santa Claus.
There is a rare delight about Christmas shopping.. It can pose the most fascinating and baffling problems.

In general, the distant the relative, the more tenorative the gift must be.
