Joyful Christmas
Throughout thiS community, the Christmas spiriVinds expression, as once again, people
are proving that this happiest of holidays is a time of tradition. A modern Christmas, just
like a good old-fashioned Christmas, calls for gatherings 9f family and friends, With much
merriment, fun ad feasting. Gifts and Santa clans exnress the mood of the season, es-
pecially for the yofingsters. Trees and other decorations, music and song, light and laughter
set the scene, As a Christian holy day, celebrated in church services and private devotions,
Christmas glows with the spirit of good will, arid "peace and good will" issthe wish and
prayer, for all mankind.
All of these traditions of Christmas are wrapped up in one. The true spirit of Christ-
mas is most happily expressed in the exchange of greetings. "Have a Merry Christmas." That
says it all — the heartfelt hope for good things for others, the good feeling that prevails, the
happiness of the season rising abbve problems and crises, the wish to give and to share all
the holiday joys and blessings.
As a special custom that symbolizes the spirit of Christmas, the exchange of greetings.
takes _many forms. "Merry Christmas" is said person-to-person, with smiles of gladness,
wherever friends and family meet, "Merry Christmas".,Iskthe message of millions Of greet-
ing cards which travel across the' miles. And "Merry Christmas" is the theme of today's
edition of this newspaper, in which busipessmen of the community offer their special greet-
ings and good wishes, their words of appreciation to patrons and friends, •
How Many Wise Men? An ers Are Many!
Although St. Mathew did
not use the name "Magi," he
implied it when he wrote of
"wise men," for "magi" was
commonly used in Palestine
to mean -great, illustrious."
Today, Nativity scenes
show three wise men or Magi
present, at the manger along
ith the shepherds, who
hastened^ to Bethlehem on
the night. Christ was born.
Some historians, however,„
believe lhat the visit of the
Magi didna take place until
much later perhaps a year
or even two years alter the
birth of Christ:
Three wise men?
In New Testament stories
of the Nativity, only St. Mat-
thew tells of "wise men from
the east" and how many
wise men followed the star
to the manger is not stated.
The tradition that there
were three probably comes
from St. Matthew's descrip-
tion of three gifts — gold,
frankincense, and myrrh,
Another explan,ation. for
the number three is the•leg-
end that the wise men sym-
bolized all humanity, in turn
represented by the races of
Sheen, Ham and Japhet, ac-
cording to the editors of The
New Hook of Knowledge.
Early traditions mention
varying numbers of wise
men. Twelve was the number
traditional in the Eastern
church, while in the West,
mosaics and paintings show-
ed sometimes two, sometimes
three, four or more wise men.
During the sixth century,
-the idea that, there were
three,:came to be generally
accepted, In legend's, the wise
men„,were given names: Mel,
hior, Gasper, -Ball astir;

How Many Holidays?
Traditionally, Belgians cel-
ebrate three holidays at the
Christmas season,. — • begin-
ning with St. Nicholas Day,
December 6th, when the good
saint brings gifts for chil-
dren. •
Then comes St. Thomas
Day, December 21st. It's a
sort of "trick or treat" day
for school children, who try
to play tricks on their teach-
ers.
The third holiday, Of
course, is Christmas. •
Wrapping Gifts
When German tradition
is followed, unwrapping a
Christmas gift can be an
amusing but complicated
process.
One gift may have many
consecutive wrappings, each
with a differeny,natne ion it,
and the final ,Wittinifig may ,
reveal not a gift, but a card'
telling where the gift is hid-
den.
Other cards in other hiding
places lead to a treasure
hunt, ending in the discov-
ery of the, gift........
Baking Cakes
If the weather on St. Nich-
olas Day, December 6th,
misty, a Dutch legend can
explain it. St. Nicholas is
baking his cakes. -
Traditional cakes— Zelten
or Klosse — are adorned with
different figures. These, chil-
dren are told, are the marks
made by St. Nicholas' donkey
as he steps over the cakes on
his way through the mist.
