ALEXANDER'S
WINGHAM HARDWARE Dial 357.3631
When your guests have all
arrived and have been greeted
by the music of the minstrels
and the song. of the carolers, it
is time for the most honoured
guest of the evening to arrive.
With much fanfare the"Lord of
Misrule" is announced. He en-
ters with great pomp and cere-
mony and takes his place as the
master of ceremonies for the
evening. '
The Lord of Misrule comes
to us from the Tudor courts
where he was elected annually
to reign over the Christmas fes-
tivities. His word was law, dur
ing the festivities, and the ri-
diculous commands he laid up-
on the guests had to be obeyed.
The introduction of the Lord of
Misrule into our festivities of-
fers an unusual method of intro
ducing the many games with
forfeits which are traditional
for Christmas.
At your party, the Lord of
Misrule will command each
guest to do his bidding. He
may call for singing, dancing,
pantomime, imitations and
stunts of all kinds. Failure to
do the bidding of the Lord of
Misrule results in the payment
of a forfeit, And here another
unusual note may be injected.
The forfeit, instead of being
paid to the Lord of Misrule may
be paid to another Christmas
character, the "hodening horse:
It was the custom in Kent,
England, for young men to go
from house to house with the
hodening horse, an imitation of
a horse's head attached to a
long stick. Two lads, forming
the body of the horse, were hid-
den from view by a covering of
cloth resembling horse's skin.
The hodening horse was ac-
companied by paraders who rang
the bells throughout the town
and begged for money or food.
FIRST NOEL
First published in English,
"The First Noel" is believed to
be primarily a French carol.
The French word "Noel" comes
from the Latin word meaning
birth; "Nowell" is the angli-
cized version. Both mean
Christmas or a "shout of joy" for
the birth of Christ, Tune is a
medieval shepherd sting.
