  This is also a Christmas holiday party. For this you will need either small evergreen branches for the Christmas tree, or better yet, the little dwarf trees in pots. Ask mother to let you have some of the ornaments from your own tree, and have plenty of colored paper, paste, scissors, also popcorn, needles and thread, and tree hooks. If you can have a little netting, some colored worsted, and candy, you can find use for them. After your friends have come, make the ornaments for your trees, such as gilt and silver stars, strings of popcorn, and chains of colored paper. Using a doll’s stocking as a pattern, cut the net in the shape of stockings, overhand two pieces together with colored worsted on three sides. Fill these bags with candy, then overhand the top together and hang on the tree. Hot chocolate with sandwiches is nice for a winter afternoon, and your friends will enjoy it after they have finished trimming their trees. Girls having a doll's Christmas party Come spend the afternoon with me, Be sure to bring your dolly; We’ll trim for her a Christmas tree, Now won’t that be real jolly? As Christmas time will be here soon, Please come and spend the afternoon, No matter what may be the weather, And we will sit and sew together. Unless we hurry, I’m afraid We won’t get all our presents made. A toy dog on wheels, a Jack-in-the-box and a Teddy bear |
