IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE

THAN TO RECEIVE

WATCHED a man and his wife choosing Christmas

presents in a big store the other day,

They were both prosperous and well dressed; the man wore a alik handkerchief and à gold wrist waich, his wife ran to an expensive fur cont.

Yet when it came to choosing the presents the husband ob- viously wanted to save. "Wouldn't fifty cigarettes do for Ken- neth," he said, "or we could send him the ashtray you won in the bridge tournament ?

"Well, perhaps fifty would be enough," sild the wife..

So Kenneth got only fifty cigarettes. It was the same with the tobacco pouch they chose a moment later. The leather they picked on was nice, but hogskin would have cost only a little

Taking not Giving

PSYCHOLOGICALLY, I could see at once just what kind of people this man and woman were. They were the sort of people who go through life taking all the time rather than giving.

You can probably think up some one in your own circle who is always a taker rather than a giver. You will usually find that these fakers have never really grown up in one way or another. They expect friends, even the whole world, to give them things just as their parents once did; they have never learned to stand

on their own feet.

Yet all the time they realise that they ought not to be taking without giving. Their Intelligence tells them that they are being weak; they have a subconscious feeling of quilt-a

that they feeling their weight in society.

give as many presenta as they like without cm- barrassing their friends; they find, too, that their affection is returned as at no other time of year.

Christmas gives every one chance to adjust the balance between their giving and taking Instincts. It helps Them

To people of this kind Christmas is as good as an annual cure. At Christmas the takers have to give. And when they give they will get rk at the same time of the subcon- scious feeling of guilt and weakness which follows them round the rest

of the year.

George is a sales manager for a firm. He finds it is a compelltive market, he must never cease from spurring his travellers on to bigger

sales figures,

tomers threatening to sue them if

George good; he never feels quite so happy as when his family open his presents on Christmas morning. Suit their own Taste

HAVE you ever notleed that some people when they are buying presents choose things they would Ilke themselves? 1 have known a middle-aged fisher give his brother, keen gardener, books on fly tying.

Such people are

· egocentric, or self-centred. At the club they are club bares, at the offles office bores, in the home they are house bores.

Egocentrics have a great oppor tunity at Christmas nf recovering mental balance by thinking of other people and what they would like for presents.

Santa Claus is Right

ONE

NE more point: You may have thought that it is silly to dress up as Father Christimas, and that modern children do not want Father Christmas. Not a bit of it.

There are perfectly sourd psycho- logical reasons why children will always clamour for Santa Claus.

The chik knows that Mummy an people who sometimes feel cold, Daddy are really quite ordinary eross, and tired, who take away loys at bedtime, who say "No more cake, Mary"

But somewhere in the back k every child's mind is the vision of an ideat parent. A parent who is always giving, never taking away; some one who is rather like Daddy (but more benevolent), and wears dowing clothes something like Mum- my, too.

The appearance of a live Sunto Claus sets at rest a host of unreal- ised childish longings and helps to keep children happy and contented until the day comes when they cun face life as it really is.
