ners who have sighted life-saving land after days of non-stop exertion. For there is no denying that for these lew days of precious rest we have to pay a price. To the tradesmen, the pre-Christmas period means hours and hours of exhausting .work, frantically trying to fit every­ thing m and meet all his customers’ demands. To the professional man it means squeezing in still more tasks into his already overcrowded day just to have two or three free ones with his family. For transport, catering and postal staffs it amounts to a marathon endurance test, and for the poor housewife it doesn’t even end on Christmas Eve for still more hours of toil in the kitchen lie ahead. For everyone, too, there is the worry ot present-buying and card sending. And all for what?


Chnstmas has been vulgarised and cheapened. It has become a season of synthetic merriment, a commer- daily-inspired spree, a blatant exhibition oE guzzling and an alcoholic frolic by the wealthy of the world, heedless of the suffering of the starving half; a whole­ sale surrender to the philosophy of “eat, drink and be


_At the back of our minds we are all aware that


. merry”. And we have the nerve to call it a Christian festival, justifying our excess by attaching to it a few straggling remnants of Christian symbolism and duping


ourselves into believing we are observing a religious feast.


Shining examples To the sincere few it is indeed a time for remem­


brance and kindness,, and through all the materialism there shine examples of selfless devotion to others— the happy parties for children and old folk, the efforts to brighten the lives of the sick and the lonely and the true desire to spread the message of “peace on earth- goodwill towards men”. But for the vast majority it is nothing more than an annual binge. Perhaps there will be a little more-than-usual bonhomie displayed to one’s near relatives and friends—an attitude made very easy


vby the abundance of good things—but the benificence is short lived and the altruism strictly limited. For this majority it is merely a secular holiday, a pleasant break in the tedious round. There is, of course, nothing wrong with pleasure or merriment, but these are passing delights that fade with


;thc morning after, and neither has much to do with the Christian purpose of bringing peace and happiness to others which, in turn, bring more lasting contentment to oneself.


We prefer to assess the Christian standards of our


friends not by the largesse they dispense at Christmas, the extravagance of their gifts and cards, the enthusiasm of their stock Christmas greeting, but by their actions and attitudes towards their fellow townsmen, their com­ passion for the ill and the weak, the sinning as well as the sinned against, and their consideration for die poor, the underdeveloped country and the underprivileged —not just at Christmas but in the other, more testing, times of the year.


Yearly reminder Yet, for all that, Christmas is something we would


not be without. One should not get too downcast by the welter of materialism. After all, most holidays, as the word implies, derive from a religious festival, and it would be unrealistic in modem times to expect the festival to be kept strictly to its original purposes. And in spite of all the emphasis on merriment, Christmas still remains the one season of the year when the more benevolent side of human nature shines through, to remind people of the finer things of which they could more frequently be capable. It prompts a little soul- searching, makes us more aware of the hypocrisy of which we are too often guilty, and causes us to reflect on the quality of our living not only in this brief period but throughout the year. And this, to us, is what makes Christmas worthwhile.


WORTH REPEATING


■yVrE are now coming to one of the peak accident periods of the year, and two principal factors are


responsible for a great number of the tragedies. Road conditions can be at their worst, with ice, fog and other winter hazards increasing the danger. And just, at the time when supremely careful driving is essential, many people drive irresponsibly. The gaiety of celebrations blind them to the danger, with the result that injury or death is the price they or some innocent person must


pay. Nobody wants to be a killjoy, but intoxicants were ' ■ tn e


never meant to be a preliminary to driving a lethal machine. By all means let us enjoy our parties, but motorists should have the sense, however inconvenient it may be to them, not to drive after drinking, and pas­ sengers should have the moral courage to refuse to travel with anyone who is tempted to do so. And we do not refer only to the obviously drunk, but to the person who has had just enough to cloud his judgment. So we would briefly reiterate a slogan that loses


none of its importance through constant repetition. If you drink don’t drive. If you go to a party, take a non-drinking driver, and if you have no such companion then go by bus, or at least return by it. Failing that, hire a taxi, leave your car. where it is, ensuring it is locked and safely parked, and arrange to'return for it next day. It will be a cheap price to pay for safety— and above all peace of mind.
