Christmas — what a fabu-
lous, fascinating, thoroughly
fantastic day for the children!
It's a day for eating the tasti-
est goodies , opening the most
exciting surprises from Santa,
playing with the most won-
derful toys, dolls and games.
In fact, it’s so exciting that
sometimes even the liveliest
youngsters want to rest.
This is the signal for Mom
and Dad to suggest a change
of pace, slich as a slow paced
game to play or something
that’s fun to do or make.
"Basketball Soldiers" could
be the answer.
The soldiers can be made
from leftover ribbons and
wrappings in the house on
Christmas Day, or even from
gift wraps and ties that the
kids have removed from their
own share of Santa's bounty.
Material not immediately at
hand can be added later, but
if there are corrugated board
and ping-pong balls around,

YOUR HOLIDAY MEALS
A compote of sparkling fruit relish adds sweet-sour flavor
and a homey, old fashioned touch to your Holiday meals.
Relishes* such’ as cranberry, were an essential part of the fes-
tive, meal of bygone days. - ■; .. .
For a change from the cranberry syndrome — try this relish
of plumped dried fruits: apricots, raisins, and dates. You can
make up a batch at the beginning of the season. It couldn t be
quicker to make and keeps well in the refrigerator for several
weeks.
And while you’re at it, why not make up an extra batch;
remove the cinnamon sticks, and ladle, boiling, into sterilized
jars to give as holiday gifts.
SPICED DATE RELISH
13/4 cups cider vinegar
3/4 cup water

1 (8-ounce) package dried apricot halves
1/2 cup raisins
1 (8-ounce) package Pitted Dates jSE
Combine first six ingredients in large heaC^saucepan. Stir over
medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Add next three ingre-
dients Cover, bring to a boil; simmer 20 minutes or until
apricots are soft. Add dates; cook 5 minutes longer. Cool.
Remove djnnamon sticks. Chill. Makes about 1 quart.
