Barb Ramsier’s true Charlie Brown tree and a baby girl born to Dennis and (Mrs) Fleming of Medina Street are noted, with deadlines for Christmas week ads.

Cidinah, a Brazilian resident of Rittman, explains Christmas in Brazil. Holidays mirror American traditions with decorations and songs but occur in summer with temperatures around 80 to 90 degrees. A big midnight mass precedes a feast of meats nuts and drinks, with altars adorned in red roses, roosters crowing at midnight, and children eagerly awaiting presents on December 25 before returning from church and beginning celebrations at home.
