"CHRISTMAS TRIMMING"

Christmas is such an exiting season and the preparation for that season is one of the most enjoyable activities of the time.

The children's home has already been decorated and as the tree stands majestically in the window, the children become involved in winter play with the expectation of Christmas day.

Our lovely Victorian lady with her wreath and fresh garlands draped over her arm, hurriedly crosses the street on her way home to begin the joyful task of her Christmas Trimmings.

The hood was worn will back on the head, more for flattery than warmth.
