Candlesticks (Cardboard, scissors)
Cut small squares of cardboard. The candles may be made to stand temporarily upon these by melting the lower ends of the candles and letting some of the wax drip upon center of the cards, and then pressing the candle down upon the melted wax. These may be placed upon the table on Christmas morning.
Christmas Carols

It gives also the address of a firm publishing stereopticon views for illustrating the program suggested.
