Title: Christmas Number of Post Script, December, 1949 Chrome PM 1949 Dec-8
Description:
[Front of card]: "Modern Youth..." A department store Santa Claus took a seven-year-old youngster on his lap and started to ask him if he had been a good boy. Before he could say a word, the lad bopped him soundly on the whiskers. "That," he said, "is because you didn't bring me that train you promised last year." --P.S.-- "Pointed Paragraphs" Christmas is approaching, the time when father owes best. Family ties are stronger at Christmas--and louder, too! This is the time of the year when everything becomes Santamental. --P.S.-- "The Silver Lining..." No Christmas tree expensively decked for show...Can compare in beauty with one decked by God with snow. --P.S.-- "Truth in a Thimble" Another Christmas advantage is that you can make people forget the past with a present. "A Child's Interpretation" A six-year-old discovered a doll in her stocking. But she wasn't very happy about it, and informed her mother, "I prayed for ten dolls." "I guess," said mother, "God didn't answer your prayer." "Oh, yes, He did," came the quick answer, "He said no!" --P.S.-- "Time Out for Caroling" I heard the bells on Christmas Day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet The words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men! --Longfellow "Christmas Meditation..." Just for a few hours on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day the stupid, harsh mechanism of the world runs down and we permit ourselves to live according to untrammeled common sense, the unconquerable efficiency of good will. --Christopher Morley --P.S.-- "Trite Truth..." Many a Jane Has snared her Joe With a tiny sprig Of mistletoe! --P.S.-- "Christmas Holidays--A Resume..." Anticipation Preparation Recreation Prostration Recuperation --P.S.-- "Golden Thread..." We err in thinking that Santa Claus enters via the chimney when he really enters through an opening in the heart. [Back of card]: As we approach the Trail's End of 1949, we take time to extend to you our sincere wishes for a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous 1950. The A. Burdsall Company
