What's in a name?
There are many names which
signify the Christmas season. Noel
is the French word for Christmas.
with Father Christmas called, in
France. Pere Noel, and the tradi-
tional Yule log-shaped cake, a
French creation, known as the
Buche de Noel. Noel is related to
the Italian name for Christmas,
Natale, and is derived from the
Latin natalis, or birthday.
The abbreviation Xmas is a
shortening of Christmas. The "X"
is actually the Greek letter "Chi,"
which is the first letter of Christ's
name as it is written in Greek, the
language of the New Testament.
The use of Xmas is by no means a
recent phenomenon, as it has been
common since the 1100s.
Yule is of Scandinavian origin.
The long northern winters were
traditionally punctuated by the
festivities of Jul, a word which was
metamorphosed into Yule when it
passed into the English language.
Jul was probably the name of a
season - approximately wint;q- -
which ran from mid-Nrry ember
through mid-January. One of the
major parts of the ;ul celebration
was the bonfire - an image of light
and warmth in a season of darkness
and cold - which eventually became
the Yule log, a symbol of continu-
um.
May
joy
and harmony fill
every heart and home.
Wishing all a
Merry Christmas
