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.
