w h e n w ra p p in g a n d s e n d in g th o se g i f t s . Outer Protection: Use a box or padded


bag to protect the contents. Items can easily become detached from paper wrappings and paper will not provide adequate protection. Use either a good strong box from a supermarket or alter­ natively you can.buy various boxes or padded envelopes from Post Shops in some Post Office branches. Padding: Use a box or padded bag large


enough to allow for plenty of cushioning material (at least 50mm) around the con­


tents. Newspapers rolled into pads are useful for cushioning. Other materials that can'be used include kitchen roll, tis­ sue paper or bubble wrap.


, Numerous items: When packaging sev­


eral items in the same box, particularly fragile goods, ensure that they are sepa­ rated from each other by at least 50mm of cushioning material. Fragile items: Remember, that wherev­


er possible, Royal Mail will handle parcels marked “fragile” with extra care hut once in the distribution system such markings are no guarantee of special'


treatment. Unbreakable items: Although articles such as sheets and clothing can be con­


sidered unbreakable, they may still be spoiled if they are not adequately pro­ tected. I t is recommended that these and similar articles are wrapped in corrugat­ ed paper followed by strong brown paper, sealed with strong self adhesive tape. , Sealing: Boxes should be firmly sealed ,


along all the flaps and edges with a good quality self-adhesive tape. For small boxes the tape should be at least 38mm wide, but remember that the larger and heavier your parcel, th e wider and stronger the tape needs to be. Addressing: Having carefully packaged


your parcel, remember to address it clearly and fully. The addressee’s post town should he written in capital letters


A list of Christmas ■ The word Christmas is derived from


Christ's Mass and was first used in 1038. ■ The concept of the Christmas Tree was


brought to,us by the Germans, who decorated the first tree in Strasbourg in 1605. The prac­ tice quickly spread to Switzerland and Aus­ tria. In the early 1800s the Scandinavians and Russians began putting up trees, and Parisians finally caught the fever in 1840. ■ Prince Albert, husband to Queen Victo­


ria, and being of Germanic descent, intro­ duced the German idea of the Christmas Tree to England in 1841. ■ In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge.


established the tradition of the National Christmas Tree for America. It'was decorated and put up on the White House lawn, as it has been every year since. ■ The first Christmas greeting card is


believed to have been designed in England in 1843 by J.C. Horsley for a friend, Sir Henry Cole. This Victorian invention showed a fam­ ily party, beneath which simply said "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to You." This soon became a popular practice in all English-speaking countries and is most widespread in the United States. ■ The first reusable ornaments were creat­


pn), Anthony (Ralf Lit- le Aherne).
