It is from the Druids that the cus- tom of decorating our churches an‘l homes with evergreens comes, for they believed that _ all the sylvan sprites flocked together on these boughs, there to remain until the warm weather came. In midwinter the Druids sent around sprigsof ivy and mistletoe to remind the people to dec- orate their dwellings with evergreens, in order to propitiate the. sylvan sprites ‘and secure protection from frosts and wintry blasts. Holly be: ries long have been considered as giv’ ing wonderful power when worn in the shape of a wreath, which must be made and worn in imitation’ of a crown of thorns and ‘of ber- and the wearer of this crown ries, must go alone at midnight on Christ- mas and sit in the dark, and, in ac- cordance with that ancient tradition, when worn on Christmas eve the holly wreath will evoke visions of spirit forms coming in the air to sing their Noel songs, and all the beasts. will be seen to kneel down in worship. The Yule cake and Tule log, too, have their important part in this cient Saxon tradition for the Christ- mas festival season. The cake had the ame powers as the bride cake has on Christmas night. The Yule log was used to light the Christmas fire the next year because, it preserved the house from fire during the year and subdued the spirit of the flames. Its powers were bestowed in the days of the Druids, when the belting fires were lighted and the brands secured from the fire to light the fire the next year. The ancient Saxons burned the Yule log a8 a symbol of the turning of the sun toward spring. Even the moon contributed its share to Christmas superstitions, for, as the legend runs, if Christmas comes during’ the waning of the moon we shall have a very good year, and the nearer to the full moon the better.
