You might too, if you've done all your shopping via catalogs, and if your kiddies are still pretty little. Of course, if your children are bigger, chances are everything will arrive in,one neat piece. This year the good old catalog hasa wide variety offascinating toys for the six to twelve age group--ant farms, rocket launching platforms that would put Cape Canaveral to shame, fixed Monopoly games, to name but a few. However, if yours be little ones, some ,preparation is necessary to insure a smooth running Christmas Eve and a little badly needed shut-eye before you hear the ratter of eager tiny feet at 5:30 Christmas morn. Perhaps you've yet to pick up your order? That day might go something like this: You leave the kids with a sitter and feeling rather smug (because look at all the time you've saved yourself) back your car up to the loading door. You ring the belland a frantic looking clerk opens up the doors to reveal a huge store room stacked to the ceiling with boxes of all sizes and shapes (it's only a week before Christmas). A dozen or so fairly frazzled clerks are rummaging through the chaos, shipping orders clutched in their teeth, and muttering to themselves. After what seems like an endless wait, your clerk has all your boxes assembled and is working you toward the door. That's when you notice something amiss. Now how in the world is it ” possible to get a tricycle that is 25 inches tall with a 20 inch wheel base into a carton about 20 by 16 by 5 inches deep? And how could that small box contain such a large rocking horse? And you're wondering if there's been a ghastly mistake. If you take my advise you will get out of there pronto. It's downright foolhardy to argue with a clerk a week before Christmas. I once heard of alittle old lady that went in to complain about the walking-talking doll she! bought for her granddaughter, (she wanted one with asoutherndrawl). Well, the poor, overwrought, workblinded, girl stuffed the old gal's mouth full of excelsior and shipped her back to the factory. And as a result she missed Christmas with her family, and a darned good New Years party to boot, before the mistake was discovered. Besides you have no recourse anyway. If you'll go Gras s Valley.
