A poor girl wanders snowy streets selling matches with no shoes. She shivers, lights matches for warmth and visions of a stove and mother, then dies asleep on a cold sidewalk with a subtle smile, a tragic holiday scene.
Local children send holiday requests to Santa Claus listing toys they desire. Leslie Dodson asks for cowboy boots and a race car set, Jimmy Pratt hopes for a race track, Juan Sewell seeks a Johnny Astro a Talking Lion a scooter and a spaceman.
Readers can craft festive presents from dime store or throwaway items. Enamel red coffee tins into cherry pots, spice jars into decorative banks, vinegar bottles into glittery damper tops, and paint trays in bold colors. Add flowers, tape patterns, and varnish for a polished finish, using a spray booth to protect surroundings.
