Carol Started in Middle Ages as Country Dance
Today's Christmas, carol is a
domesticated descendant of a
lively folk dance, The carol
started out in the Middle Ages
as a circular country dance,
called a "carole" in French.
Some of the early Christians
looked askance at dancing,
however, and the carol soon
lost its steps.
The lyrics of the songs that
had accompanied the dance
began to change, too, and
eventually the " macaronic"
Parties Are
Fun, Can Be
impromptu
Parties on Christmas Day
are not only fun, they're al-
most inevitable! The family
gets together, neighbors drop
in, other friends arrive to de-
liver gifts and greetings and,
suddenly, it's a party.
For groups large or small,
parties planned or impromptu,
the editors of The Book of
Knowledge suggests these en-
tertaining ideas:
EXCHANGING GIFTS. At-
tach each gift card to a long
string, then fasten the string
to the gift package. Make a
gifts chimney from cardbiard
covered with Christmas wrap-
ping paper, or cover a round
container such as a waste-
basket.
FindingIlu Cil'Is
Place the gifts in the fire-
place and have guests or mem-
bers of the family find their
gifts by following the name
cards and strings, through
the other entangling strings,
to the gift packages.
CAROLS. Singing carols to
piano, radio or record accom-
paniment is a favorite Christ-
mas Day pastime. For larger
groups, a variation on this is
to have a "carol mixer."
Using several carols, give
everyone the name of a Christ-
mas carol. Each person walks
around the room humming the
assigned carol, and listening
for others humming the same
tune. Those with the same
melody band together in a
group.
Then each group sings its
selection for the others — and
as a finale, all groups sing
their separate carols at the
same time.
ARTISTS' MARCH. Have
each person pin a card or
sheet of blank paper on the
person in front of him. The
leader starts a single -file
march around the room, to
Christmas music.

While marching, each per-
son struggles to draw a rein-
deer, or other appropriate
Christmas subject, on the card
pinned to the player in !milt
Of him. To add to the difficulty
and the fun, the leader can
take the file around in circles
or weave in and out of the line.
After the march is over, the
results are exhibited and, if an
extra gift is handy, a prize can
be awarded to the person
judged to have drawn some-
thing that best resembles a
reindeer.
CHRISM ItIS'I'S1 1`+ 1192
First Christmas in the New
World was celebrated in 1402
by Christopher Columbus and
his crew, who were dinner
guests of an Indian chief, ruler
of the island of } aiti.
style appeared. This consisted
of taelting a Latin phrase on to
the popular lines, so that the
people sang;
Make we joy now in this
feast
In qua Christus natus est
They didn't necessarily under-
stand the Latin, although it
carried on the sense of the song,
but the stately Latin words gave
theta a religious image.
In 1223 St. Francis. of Assisi
started the custom of placing a
creche, er ai ituxe Nativity
scene, in the church at Christ-
mas time, People began to act

one of the steps in the devel-
opment of mystery plays — and
then to compose carols to sing
with the plays. These led to
the French noels, strictly Christ-
mas songs, which, in turn, in-
spired the English carol.
Carols, both secular and re-
ligious, flourished in England
until the Puritans, substituted
their more spiritual hymns,
These carried along their- fess
earthy messages for more than a
century, until a demand forbear
ter Christmas music brought
back the carol.
Lights for Tree
Traced to Luther
Decorating the Christmas
tree with lights is a custom
that some historians trace
back to Martin Luther, the
Reformation leader, Encyclo-
pedia Americana researchers
say, and tried to reprodue
