THE HOLIDAY CALENDAR.
“I have a holiday calendar,” a little boy should say to a little girl.
“Where is it?”
“Here.” And directly he holds up his hand with fingers spread towards her.
“See my five fingers. They stand for our five holidays.” Then touching his thumb he should continue,
“This is for Mayday, so sweet,” and then touching the finger next, “Jolly Fourth, with its noise,” afterwards indicating the middle finger, “Thanksgiving and pumpkin pies,” and touching the next finger, “Christmas, for girls and boys,” and holding up his little finger concludes, “Happy New Year to all.”
