Children .are "nestled all snug in their beds" and Mom and Dad run around feverishly finishing up that last little bit of shopping and preparing for the feast on Christmas day. But sometimes We get so caught up with our time-schedules and last minute rushing around that we forget to stop and remember the real traditions of Christmas, And Christmas really is a time of traditions: traditions that have long since passed the test of time ; traditions that come alive each year for a few weeks and that the children of today will pass on to all the generations which follow them. Take something as simple as a Christmas card, for example, The year was 1843 and it was almost Christmastime. Henry Cole, an English gentleman was surveying with dismay his long list of friends and acquaintances to whom he owed letters and Christmas wishes of prosperity and goodwill. But Henry Cole, Director of London's Victoria and Albert Museum had little time to devote to letter-writing. Then he had an idea. He suggested to a close friend and prominent member of the Royal Academy, that he design a Christmas greeting in the form of a card which Cole could simply address and sign and which would save a great deal of tedious handwork. When the card was published, it aroused so much interest that about 1,000 copies were printed and sold for one shilling each — about 16 cents. The design is made of a large Centre panel with two smaller side panels. The middle panel depicts an obviously wealthy family making merry over a sumptuous Christmas dinner. The twO side panels represent the feeding and clothing of the poor. Closer examination of the card reveals a mother allowing her small daughter to drink wine from her glass. This design caused considerable controversy in 1843, and the artist was soundly reprimanded for encouraging this sort of thing. However, for all the criticism and friction it stirred up, the first Christmas card created a custom which is so much a part of the tradition of Christmas today. It is interesting to note that the greeting on the card of 1843 - "A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year To You" — is still the most popular. Another undeniable and probably one of the best loved of Christmas customs is that of Christmas carols. Inspired by the first Christmas night, they bring a glow to people's faces, and a feeling of contentment which blots out day-to-day worries, Probably one of the best known, and my favorite is "Silent Night". The origin of this song has been traced to a tiny Bavarian mountain village called Obern- dorf. Legend has it that way back in 1818, Oberndorf was cut off from the rest of the word by a severe blizzard, The villagers were a very musical people and despite the weather conditions, had planned to hold a musical celebration in their tiny church. Franz Xavier Gruber, the village schoolmaster and church organist, discovered that the organ had broken down, and knowing how disappointed the people would be without music, he went to the assistant priest and suggested he write a special song for the Christmas celebration, He asked that it be so simple that it could be sung without any preparation. Mohr agreed to try and sought to find the words to best express the feeling of Christmas. Gruber composed a little melody to fit the words, Making fudge used to be a tricky business; but now you can do it two ways, You can still use the old fashioned method and hope to catch the boiling sugar mixture at just the right stage, that critical stage that missed by just a few degrees leaves you with eithera stickyunmanageable mess or brittle sugary lumps. OR you can avoid all the pitfalls, and turn out smooth rich fudge every time, without candy ther- mometers, tricky cold water tests or ,endless beating. Today recipes start with light cream and chocolate or but- terscotch baking chips, the kind you use in cookies. Although ten percent (cereal cream) is per- fectly adequate in these recipes, eighteen percent (table cream) makes a richer fudge that's the delight of all candy lovers. It's worth the little extra. These candies are cooked only that first Christmas, to envision the star-struck sky and to glimpse the ray of light that changed the world." This is my Christmas wish my readers and friends. Merry Christmas; and may 1973 see the fulfillment of your dreams. long enough to thoroughly combine all the ingredients, then chilled without beating. You will find that candy made this quick and easy method is slightly softer than traditional fudge. For this reason we find it easiest to handle when shaped into rolls and covered with nuts, The rolls should be wrapped and refrigerated; then you need only slice and serve for a sweet treat.
