A Column Prepared Especially for Women —
But Not Forbidden'to Men
"I have always thought of Christ-
mas time, when it has come around--
apart;
round-apart from the veneration' due. to its
sacred name and•origin, ilii nnythin
]belonging to'it can be apart from
that—as a good time; a kind, forgiv-
ing, charitable, pleasant time; the
only time 1 know of . , when mein
and women see111 by common consent
to open their shut -up hi rrts `freely
-, and I say God bless it," -,Dickens'
Christmas Carol.
Most sof us will agree with Old
,Scrooge's nephew in this: We all
like Christmas. It is by -all odds the
most papular holiday in the year.
We celebrate Christmas as the day
on which Christ was born and, very
approprately, we carry gifts to those
whom we love and also to 'many in
need on Christmas Day. It is indeed
a time *heti"men and women open
their 'hands -and their hearts." But
while we' observe the many customs.
which have grown up around Christ-
mas we do not often stop to consider
that many of these customs had noth-
ing to' do with Palestine and , have
come tb us from many countries;
some of thein being .far, older then
the Christmas era. Some customs a,e
descended to us firm pagen'`anees-
try, -being . used by the .Christian
-Church to celebrate a Christian feast,
If is supposed that the idea of
feasting on Christmas, Day may have
come about from the encouragement
of the' priests, who, wishing to wit
the people away from the ,slaying of
beasts in saexifice to devils, had
them.,'prepare a• feast for themselves,
thanking God for the provision macle
for their comfort. •
In the early days in Rome the feast
lasted, seven days, beginning on Dee.
17th, and some of the laws governing
these feasts forbade the following of
anywork, except that of cooking ani]
baking; that all rnen,. rich and poo,
should be equal, that all anger, re-
sentment and threatenings should
cease and that all discourses should'
be witty, counduciug to mirth, and
jollity,
The Christmas tree ,is of German
origin and it was not until 1840
that it becamegeneral in England,
when Queen Victoria and Prince
bent had a Christmas tree for their
family, It soon ]became very popular,
of Bourse, spreading all over the
country.
The custom ,of decorating with ev-
ergreens is . no doubt of very early
origin, probably Roman. The holly,
ivy and 'mistletoe, which bore winter
•fruit, were popular because alt other
green things died away in the fall.
Illistletoe was a sacred plant at the
time of the Druids, who were the on-
ly -ones allowed to cut it from the
tree, and at sacred knife was used for
the purpose. Sprigs of this plant'
were bung over the doorways' by +the
ancient., Britons to keep 'off evil spin
its, .because they believed that only
happiness was aisle to enter thein
homes under the mistletoe. It was
probably on this account ,that" kiss-
ing under the mistletoe" became so,
popular., The ancient Scandinaviann.
are said to have,used- the -mistletoe in
much the same way as did the Brit*
O S:'
n
(laurel used to be a favorite Christ-
13an decoration in England centuries
ago, but somehow or other it was ev-
entually replaced , by: ivy and holly,
which. are extensively used at the pre-
sent time:
The English people have for.,many
years made a• great deal., of the
Ohristhias celebration :arid some of
the old Christmas carols wird waits
are ver
Y beautiful. Thefollowing
f ole
w g
seemed to put upon everyone the task
of adding something to the enter»
tainntont of the company:
"Let no man .come into this hall,
Groom, page uor yet maeshall,
But that some sport he brings withal,
For 710W is the time of Christmas.
If that he say he cannot sing;'
Some other sport then let him bring;
That it may please at this feasting,
Por now is the time of -Christmas.
If lie say he ,can naught do,
Then for my loye"ask him ono oto,
But to the stocks then let him go,
For now is the time of Christemas."
—Ancient English Christmas Carols.
(Before 1536).
The grandparents of Canadians
brought to this country many p£ the
andient' English customs. W'e cele -1
brete with feasting, we hang the
house. with evergreens and red ber-
ries,- we send gifts and spread good
cheer but our climate ,discourages the
singing of carols in the open air.
What carol singing is done in Can-
ada is usually done to the playing of
a piano ina well -warmed room.
Bub we all love the old customs.
They are usually sweet and innocent
and add much to the happiness of
families, Let their observanee bo
encouraged. Make the home a ]nappy
place at Chvistmastide, as all too
