jolly." Christmas is for joy and laughter; Christmas glows
with merriment. Throughout this community, families are -
putting the finishing touches on plans for holiday get-to-
gethers. Hideaways bulge with mysterious packages; kitchens

Christmas programs. Holiday party plans go forward. It is,.
indeed, the season to be jolly.
"Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm, all is bright." Christ-
mas is for .prayer and peace; Christmas gleams With the light
of the Star that shone so brightly, nearly two thousand years
ago. And throughout this community, the deep spiritual sig-
nificfance of the holy season spreads comfort and cheer. In
churches, the hours of worship reflect the coming joy as, dur-
ing the weeks before Christmas, the story of Christ's corning
is the subject of study, sermon, song and prayer, all building
toward the special services of Christmas weekend.
Uniting in Joy and Prayer
Christmas is a joyful season; Christmas is a prayerful sea-
son. Since the earliest celebrations of this Christian holiday,
it has ever been so,

Squire, Gifts. l
The twin spirits of Christmas festive cerebration and
reverent worship — are woven together in all the lore of the
season. History says that when the time now celebrated as
Christmas was designated, in the fifth century A..D., early
Christian leaders reit that the traditfonal winter merry-
inaleing of pagan festivals such as the. -Roman Saturnalia --
might be hallowed by association with -the Nativity. •
Thus, pagan peoples who had• once looked to mythical sun
gods as the source of the rebirth of life began to turn to re-
ligious observances of the Saviour's birth. Christmas lights
symbolized -faitka.,., hope and life eternal. -.
Today, the glow of the tiniest candle — or the twinkling of .
the smallest electric bulb — still reflects, however-humbly,'the
Light that Christ brought to
the world.
At the heart of the holiday
fun and feasting there 'glows
the spirit of giving. The Wise
Men Sought to honor the Christ
Child with rare and precious
'gifts — gold, frankincense and
myrrh.. Thus, to give of the
best at Christmas is a time-
honored tradition. •
All may rejoice in the oppor-
tunity to give generously, to
please family and friends with
"just what they wanted," and
to share with the less fortu-
nate. •
Yet the best Christmas gifts
are still those that come from
the open heart as well as the
open hand, and the warmth of
.t
a friendly smile, the words of
a cordial greeting add price-
less mea'hing, to the most elab-
orate of gifts.
"Glory to God in the high-
est, and on earth, peace, good
will toward men."
Across the years since shep-
herds first harkened to an an-
gelic chorus, Christmas rings
with the sound of voices raised
in joyful song.
Carol singing at Christmas
is both a tradition and a
source of tradition. Much/ of
the legend and lore,of the ,sea.-
son is known today only be-
cause it has been preserved in
song — in carols passed on
from generation to generation.
"And she brought forth her
firstborn Son, and wrapped
Him in swaddling clothes, and

there -was no room for themin--
