In many countries, however, the bells ring on Christmas Eve, for according to the ol4 church usage the real begin- ning of Christmas was at sunset on Christmas Eve. Christmas bells tell us that once, long ago, on a Christmas day love came into the werld, flooding the earth with beauty and goodness, when the angels sang about a crib in Bethlehem. tmas fest! al at Hollywood, Cal The pagan Romans were the first to utilize Christmas greens for decorative purpnses. They decorated grewing ever- greens with tiny masks to ingure fertility. The progress from this pagan practica to the modern Christian use is hidden in unproven theories. Because of their ur- changing freshness, evergreens were con- sidered a symbol of efernity. The circle, wiihout end was an emblem of the same symbol. Mistletoe was held ir; veneration by the ancient Celts and Teutons.

The log was dragged ceremoniously fo the family hearth, where it was drenched with wine and kindled with a brand saved from the preceeding year. When flames crackled forth it porfended good luck for the coming year. If the log did not light it was believed fo be an omen of ill luck. The ‘“‘Feast of the Refurning Sun" was an ancient pagan festival, observed by many peoples. W The giving of gifts was insiituted by St. Nichols, who was first considered an ascetic in Europe, when he appeared as an oldster with white beard, on horse- back, carrying gifts for good children, switches. for bad ones. Pelznickle, from the demon werld would accompany him, 7 clad in a fur coat and carrying a switch. St. Nichols, or Nicholas, was bishop of Myra in Asia Minor, in the fourth cenfury. He is pairon saini of Greece, Russia, and the city of Naples. i 3 Y Fea:*ing on Christmas today is pal- lid compared to what it was in days gone by. Turkey was first introduced in England about 1520 and as a mild sub- stitute for the traditional boar's head garlanded with rosemary and laurel. The exofic roasted peacock was clso a fa- vorite at early feasts. Mince pie was eaten in the 16th century as a symbol of the riches brought by the three wise men. It was filled with rich spices and products brought from the mysterious far East. Chris!mas boxes for the poor did not originate in America. They date back to the days of the ancient Romans. They held a feast in honor of Saturn. Boxes were made up and distributed. This has become on important part of Christmas in this country and the plan has been developed and enlarged by religious, civic and other organizations in order fo bring happiness fo hundreds of thousands who would otherwise be overlooked at Christmas. Boxing Day is a legal holiday. % There are nearly as many versions of Santa Claus as there are nationalities: Father Christmas, St. rlicholas, Babquschka, Kris Kringle and many ofhers. But regardless of his name, he is welcomed «nd beloved by ali—children and adulis clike.

Merry Christmas—to ourself, for that matter. But then we feel pret- ty sure that we'll have one for we've put so much work and excitement and loving getting-ready into it.
