Flower
Of Love In Modern or
Victorian Era
Like holly, ivy and mis-
tletoe; flowers share in the
legend and lore of Christ Inas, In terms of the Vic-
torian era, the floral leg-
end is an especially mean-
ingful one,
A Victorian lady wlid re-
ceived a bouquet from her
admirer could either smell
it or read it as if it were a
letter.. Qften, it was a let-
ter.
Young engaged couples,
strictly chaperoned,found
a way to communie,ate
words of affection via
flowers. Each flower had
a special -meaning.
FldWers in sequence
could be used to spell out
a fervent pledge of love.

The Reasons
Why does -Santa come
down the chimney?
Of all the traditions cOn-
fleeted with Santa, his un-
conventional mode of entry,
Might seem the most puz-
cling Surelythe magical
power to drive reindeer
through the skies and who
can cover the earth in a
single night, could- find an
easier way to enter a house.
Like, most of the lore•of
Christmas, Santa's choice
of the chimney has several
explanations.' For instance,
legend has it that the ori -

A
ginal Santa, St. Nichola,
presented- three maidens
with gifts of gold for. a -
dowry. Modestly conceal-
ing„his generosity, he tos-
sed the gold down a chim-
ney, in secret.
Another theory claims
that Santa copied a god -
"'less, who was the first to
deliver gifts via a &limey.
According to this legend,
when the Vikings of Nor
way celebrated the Yule-
tide or winter solstice in
their great halls, a festive
feature of the occasion was -
the appearance of the god-
dess Hertha in the fire-,
place. .
As her name indicates,
Hertha was goddess of
hearth and home, and most
apptopriately arrived by
way. of the chimney,- to de-
liver her Yuletide gifts of
good luck and good cheer.
Still another explana-
tion takes a Practical point
of view. Housewives of
Northern Europe, cleaning
house for the New Year,
used to cdax children to
help with,• -the chores by
saying, "Let'' clean the
hearth. St. Nicholas will
soon be coming down the
chimhey." • „
• The children willingly
set to work, and thus, says
legend, a ' tradition was
born. Even when he takes
to helicopter or jet plane,
Santa delivers his gifts by
way of the chimney!
messages, there were num-
erous tiny dictionaries list-
ing flowers and their mean-
ings.
The flowering honey-
suckle, for instance, spoke
of "bonds of love." A red
rosebud told a lady- that
she was "pure and lovely."
Red double pink Meant
"woman's love." And helio-
trope carried a bold mes-
saFe, "I love you."
• This Victorian language
of flowers greatly influen-
ced the design of 'Christmas
cards of the time -- wit-
ness the card illustrated:
here, from the Norcrosh
Historical Collection of an-
tique cards.
The lush sum -der blooms'
are typical of the Victor-
ian admirationof flowers,
regardless of the season.
Though sentiments may
be expressed differently,
flowers still bloom on mod-
ern -Christmas cards. A cur-
rent card offers . one ex-
ample. Poinsettias flower
an.a background of mistle-
toe, and,.the message reads,.
"Just for you, honey, all
my. love at Christmas."
