As in previous years, the number

lucky ticket on the Christmas cake.
Other prizes went to Rev. Father

Good luck will . be yours through
the year."
This old verse is believed in
many lands around the world and
is said to be one of the reasons
that candles in homes are tradi-
tional around the world.
The custom is believed to have
started in Ireland. As the Irish
put it: "Who knows, on some
Christmas Eve, Jesus and Mary and
Joseph may collie again, not to
Palestine, but to the Holy Isle on
the farthest edge of Europe." And
it is the custom that the candle
BRECKE
CHRISTMAS FUN ONCE WAS
BANNED
In their attempt to do away with
all forms of frivolity in England,
j the Puritan Government banned
the celebration of Christmas in
1643. Although holiday traditions
were restored by the Stuarts, the
Christmas season never quite re- '
gained its place of importance in
English icelebrations.
Today it is observed as a relig-
ious day in the churches and as a
day for ifamily igathenings, but has
never again been celebrated with
the boisterous spirit and sumptu-
ous feasting if olden times.
The 'English people celebrate to
a greater extent on Raxing Day,
December 26, marking this day
with gift -giving and parties. This
fest day anfedafes Christmas and
is traced to the custom of gift-
, giving during the R0111111 festival
of Saturnalia.
So, today the ehildren receive
thsir gifts in boxes and it is the
4141 that s;:s.V.SS ess remember their
'Ohl empIsitees with gift boxes.

can only be snuffed by one named
Mary.
Their first use for Christmas is
not recorded in the annals of any
nation, but that the "Christ Child
Candle," burned in the window on
Christmas Eve is, according to an
old legend, placed -there to light
His way if He makes an earthly
visitation and in atonement for
the night of His birth when there
was no room for Him.
