9 The Frontier Woman . , . Hay Cabled, Corn in Bin, ‘Blue Eyes’ and Family Ready for Long Winter By BLANCHE SPANN PEASE Only three weeks until the big day. Don’t look now but if you see somebody looking smug, Pease is the character. I finished my Christmas shop ping a long time ago, and started spending evenings addressing Christmas cards before Thanks • giving. By the time you read this, all my .Christmas gifts will be wrapped, and some of my Christ mas baking done and in the deep freeze. I’m one of those people who likes things done in plenty of time and I think I get just as much fun out of Christmas as anyone, else and have just as much spirit! Two fat candle Christmas trees sit on the buffet, one green and one red, and our weather bar ometer is flanked with two fat Christmas candle angels. Our folding table had a low yellow dish of greenery and at each end tall, red candles firmly anchored in silver leafed Christmas candle holders. Our windows are gay and bright with fiber glass Christmas scenes and reindeer walking » along the window sills. One of our end tables has a low green, vase replete with bitter sweet and evergreen. Christmas has come to our house and I'm enjoying every minute of it. Right this minute I'm planning the decorations for the Christmas dinner table. If you want to make some ever green wreaths you can use a coat hanger as a base. Make it into a circle and use the hook for hang ing or anchoring. Wire on the evergreen. Fasten in cranberries, pine cones or bittersweet. A big fat red bow at the bottom often looks attractive. Get some sticks of gum, some all-day suckers, or some pepper mint sticks or canes to make the childrens’ gifts more fun. Tie the all-day suckers or peppermint sticks in with ribbon if it’s gum, glue .the sticks on the outside of the wrapper. Even one stick, add a fillip of fun, or pennies glued on the outside. —tfw— 'B’ue Eyes' Wins Subscription — Dear Blanche: ' I’ve been planning on writing you a letter for some time now. So now right after breakfast I’ll get busy and write. My children are still asleep and this it the time I like to get my letters writ ten while I drink my second cup of coffee. That way I can sit down and relax before my day of work starts—caring for three lively children! It's raining this morning and with a weather warning out it ap pears our good weather is over. With our hay cabled in, and corn in the bin, we can be glad we’re' ready for winter. With Christmas just a short time away, it is time to get the tree up and all that Christmas baking done. I try to make some homemade candy along with several differ ent kinds of cookies and some German Christmas bread. I also | usually make fruit cake. I al ways like to make ihem right af ter Thanksgiving. But this year I didn’t get it done, so I plan on baking them yet this week. This year I am going to add a little wine with the rest of the liquid I put in them. We really like fruit cake. I plan on giving a dinner for my parents and sister and family. I think a salad like this one is good at Christmas time. On a lettuce leaf, place a slice of pineapple, then take a slice of banana, cut lengthwise and place in hole in the middle of the pine apple. Then on top of the banana, place a red maraschino cherry. Dot with whipped cream or a little mayonnaise. It is supposed to look like a candle when done like this. I tried your cranberry salad and it’s very good. Wishing ail a Mer ry Christmas. “BLUE EYES” _tlW_ For Your Holiday Breakfast — SUGARPLUM LOAF One cake quick yeast, two table spoons lukewarm water, cup shortening, % cup sugar, two eggs. % cup milk, five cups flour, one teaspoon salt, % cup seedless raisins, Vz cup chopped walnut meats, % cup chopped citron, % cup candied cherries PLAIN ICING Dissolve yeast in water.
