Scrapbook and Gift-time

Elfin Ones: . ■ You may be surprised to find so much of Christmas in our Ring tonight, for, after all the fun and excitement of Guy Fawkes bonfires and the Exhibition, Santa Claus has slipped somewhere into the background. But he is still there, and soon .. . very soon .. . he'll be the centre of attention once more. The last weeks before Christmas just fly on the wings of the * wind, so we must begin to prepare for stocking and gift time. Will you please look through your toy-cupboards and bookshelves, pixie people? Toys and books that are not torn or soiled will find a welcome place in the Ring Gift Cupboard, and next month may be hung upon a gay Christmas tree. As soon as you can please, 'Fairy Ring, for gifts must be sent away early in December. Then there's something else to remember . . . two knots in fyxmr . small handkerchiefs! . . .our Christmas scrapbooks. Do our new, elves know that every Chritmas we have a scrapbook competition and that a special prize is given for the brightest collection of pictures and Christmassy pieces, pasted in a drawing-book or be* tweeh brown-paper pages? Try to make one, and.you'll find it great fun, as well as a delight for boys and girls in hospital, The 3 Elf and I would like to collect a 'specially big pile of scrapbooks A this year. Will you all help? . l' Every elf will want to share in the, gaiety of our Christmas pages. •• Gay little pictures and stories may be sent any day now,- and, of • course, entries for the Christmas competitions. You?li read all about them in. the Ring tonight. " . We must all try/to make this Christmas as bright and happy \ as we can, in spite of the gloomy shadow of war ? so we'll leave ■■' you to think about gifts and all the lovely things that make Christmas the season of happiness all the world over. With love from Letterbox Elf and . JAIRIEL.
