Tradition of 'Boxing Day'
goes back to ancient Rome
ASS
"Therefore Christian men, be Ye who now will blesS the poor,

at*:41;NoNopti4zN-wii tg4o?..§. yC 4,1",,,,wqmtvw Every Christmas there's a
mad scramble at our house to
get the cards out on time and
every year we swear that next
year we'll do better.
It is sad to report we've
actually done worse this time.
The cards still sit under the
towels in the linen closet where I
put them last September after
making the purchase from one
of my favorite small Christmas
card sellers.
However, I am indeed
fortunate to have this space to
wish the readers (I hope there
are two or three), my friends
and all my kith and kin, A
Happy, Happy Christmas!)
Christmas is a wonderful,
exotic time. It's a time of
wonder, excitement and joy. It's
the time to remember the
teaching and self-giving
philosophy of Jesus.
So many of us over
commercialize it and make it a
time of blood, sweat and tears in
our wild rush of shopping and
making ready for the
celebration,
But surely most of the
feverish activity is over now and
we can more leisurely
contemplate the deepest sense of
Christmas.
Christmas is really our
response to God's greatest gift of
Himself to us. The shepherds
and wisemen responded by
bringing gifts to the babe in the
manger, These gifts were really
just symbols of the spirit which

the following people who
are celebrating their
birthdays during the
Christmas season:
MRS. ELDON
STEEPER, Corbett will be
80 on December 28.
MRS. MARY BROCK

on December 29 instead of
December 20 as was stated
in last week's paper.
If you know of

better in the near future

service and we are pleased
to hear from you.
they felt , . the spirit of
self-giving.
We become so intense about
" what" we give to others that
we often forget "why" we give
the gift. If we experience the
true meaning of Christmas, our
presents, like the wisemen's are
our response to God's gift of the
Christ Child.
The Christmas spirit is not
seen in the amount of money
that we spend on gifts. It is seen
in our lives to the extent we give
of ourselves to others.
This Christmas let us mend a
quarrel, seek out a forgotten
friend. Write a love letter. Give a
soft answer. Keep a promise.
Listen. Encourage youth. Find
the time. Show patience.
Appreciate. Be kind, Speak your
love. Laugh a little, then laugh a
little more. Take pleasure in the
beauty of the world. Welcome a
stranger. Share a treasure.
Forgive an enemy.
These are but inklings, a mere
scratching of the surface of some
of the simple things we can give,
the influence of which cannot be
measured.
This Christmas let us pray
that the spirit of self-giving,
which we see personified in the
manger will live in our hearts all
our days.

at Hensall
In a quiet evening ceremony
December 19, Rev. H. Currie
united in marriage Sylvia P.
Louise Stewart and John William
Fahner at Hensall United
Church. The bride is the
daughter of Mr. & Mrs. Alfred
Stewart, Hensall and the groom's
parents are Mr. & Mrs. Clarence
Fahner, RR 2, Crediton.
Attending the bridal pair
were Judy Desjardine,
D ash w o od and Cameron
McCarthur, Crediton.
A reception was held at the
home of the groom's sister and
her husband, Mr. & Mrs. Doug
Dowson.
Mr. & Mrs. Fahner will reside
on Waterloo Street, Exeter.
Back in great-granny's day a
salad ran to cold slaw, pickled
beets and wilted lettuce. She
usually brined all the character
out of cucumbers and other
vegetables. But who can blame
her? Cook books of 50 years ago
had little to offer in the way of
salad preparation.
We've come along way in the
making of these delectible dishes
since the Roman's of Caesar's
domain sprinkled salt on their
greens. The Latin word "sal"
means salt and is the origin of
our word "salad."
However, I suspect long
before the Romans, primitive
man curiously sampled sweet
grasses, pungent herbs and
savory weeds to add variety to
his diet.
Shakespeare evidently
thought of a salad as being
predominately green when in
Anthony and Cleopatra he refers
"to my salad days, when I was
green in judgement."
He, was careful, however, not
to have his characters overstep
the bounds of social propriety.
In A Mid Summer's Night's
Dream he adjures his amateur
actors to "eat no onions or
garlic, for we are to utter sweet
breath."
To-day delicious salads are
made in every flavour and color
using many ingredients cooks of
past generations would never
have dreamed about.
There are recipes and more
recipes and still hostesses look
for something new and different.
We looked over dozens of
recipes and hope we've come up
with one or two you may find
enticing enough to serve along
with your own time-tested
favorites.
The day after Christmas,
December 26, is known to us as
"Boxing Day". This name comes
to use from many centuries ago.
In ancient Rome, Boxing Day
was part of their Saturnalia. An
earthen box was placed in all
outgoing vessels. These remained
closed until the vessel returned
and Boxing Day arrived. The
box was called the Priest's Box
and the contents were
distributed among the ipoor,
In almost all Euopean
countries Boxing Day became a
time when gifts were given to
the needy, and also when the
needy might solicit gifts. In
England the postman, the
dustman, the lamplighter,
apprentices, employees received
boxes. It almost seems as though
Christmas giving for one's own
immediate family was on
Christmas Day but the receiving
and giving of monies or gifts
from or to persons beyond one's
family took place on Boxing
Day.
On the day after Christmas if
the money were boxed, the box
would be broken and the money
counted. This custom was
eventually called "Boxing."
Each present is a "Box" and the
day of present-giving is "Boxing
Day". In Holland and Germany
a similar custom prevailed.
Children were taught to save
their pennies in pig-shaped
earthenware boxes. It was called
a "Feast Pig." This may be the
origin of our piggy banks.
Let's not forget that Boxing
Day is also Saint Stephen's Day.
It is said that Stephen was a
junior official in the Palace of
Herod. Like the Wise Men, he
too saw the Star and decided to
foresake the King's Hall. Herod
offered him food, riches and
gold to remain. Stephen refused.
Herod had him stoned to death.
In honor of Saint Stephen many
years ago, a carol was written for
King Wenceslaus. King
Wenceslaus was King of Bohemia
just at the end of the 14th
Century. He was a good man and
a good king, giving where
needed, and helping his country.
The carol which we sing about
Good King Winceslaus was
written by J. M. Neale, an
Englishman. The last verse of
this carol expresses the spirit of
both Saint Stephen's Day and
Boxing Day .
It's Christmas — and
the world is bright with joy
and gladness too
And may it be
a happy time
in every way
for you.
