We do know, however, that the Druids blessed the yule log with great ceremony at their winter feast, at which they also honored the evergreen, as • a tree that was forever green and thus seemed to symbolize im- mortality. In olden England, the yule log often was decorated with garlands of flowers and an- nointed with wine. For good luck, it was not allowed to burn out during the festive season, and its ashes were thought to bring fertility to the soil. When Christianity came to England, Christmas became a predominantly religious observ- ance—and remains so to this day. For centuries, "Christmas,. England!" has been a time for religious gladness and the good fellowship of feasting and mer- riment! In the 1400's, Henry VII in- troduced the wassail bowl, from the Scandinavian countries. It was a bowl containing a mix- ture of hot ale, spices and toast- ed apples—a cup of good cheer, with which to toast success for FIRST CHURCH WMS The Christmas meeting of the McKillop WMS was held in First Presbyterian Church, Sea - forth, Thursday.

On. motion of Mrs. Jack Thompson and Mrs. Fran- cis Coleman, it was agreed to use •envelopes for the collec- tion in 1965. The 'Christmas program was taken from the Glad •Tidings with the president in charge. Mrs. Helen McMillan led in. prayer.

ITALY The Eternal -City feasts eter- nally the Virgin Mary—as does all of Italy, at Christmastime! . ThiaS is the major feast, the Feast of the Immaculate Con- ception, and it overshadows the festival of Christmas Day. One colorful custom of "Christmas, Italy" is the annual visit from the hills of Cala- brian shepherds — dressed in goatskin trousers and multi -col- ored jackets. Piping pastoral flutes, they pause before each and every shrine, and at the door of ev- ery carpenter shop. They do this to honor the carpenter, Joseph, husband of Mary, and to honor her child, the Christ- Child—the God -Man who was born and died on this earth to save mankind. The Christmas scene in Italy is set with bunches of sweet flowers and the graceful olive tree. For Italian children, Santa Claus is not the jolly gentle- man in the flowing white beard and red flannel suit, " but "Be- fana"—a mile witch clothed in rags, who rides from house, to house on a broomstick. Befana, of course, is a good witch. - Like Santa, he leaves pres- ents for the children by the hearth and . good little boys and girls in, Italy, like good lit- tle boys and 'girls in Canada, doubtless can_ hear the sound on the rooftop, in the stillness. of the Christmas night, as Befana makes his noctural vis- it. •, .. .L.wM Today, there are more than 200,000 Canadians of Italian or- igin in Canada, and many of them continue to celebrate Christmas, the Feast of the Im- maculate Conception—and the fun of the good witch Befana-- as efana-as they did and do in sunny Italy. DENMARK • You might feel that nobody in his right mind thinks that. Christmas dinner is for the birds—but in Denmark, that's exactly how it is! The Danes serve a special Christmas dinner to the birds, and it is a gracious and touch- ing ceremony, as is all observ- ances of Christmas throughout ;I)enmaF.if•.

When it comes to Christmas dinner for humans, few nation- alities can match the sumptu- ous spreads laid out .by thekit- chen-Loving Danes — that's kit- •chen-loving Danish womenfolk, of course. To Danish and Danish -Cana- dian children, Santa Claus is a benevolent little man who us- ually lives in the attic -and if there isn't any attic, he man- ages to lide just about any- where around the house. His name is "Jul-Nisse"— and it's a well-known fact that he is never seen by anyone but the family cat! ' This tender little spirit looks after farm animals, and is near- ly always at -the root of any strange and mischievious' go- ings-on around the house. At bedtime, Christmas Eve, Danish boys and girls climb the attic stairs and leave a bowl of porridge and a pitcher of milk by the attic door. On Christmas day, Jul-Nisse has eaten the food—and left them their presents! FRANCE Throughout the beauty of France, from Marseilles to Nantes, south to Bordeaux, ,.ov- er ,to Laon and then to Calais —throughout this great and ancient country—on Christmas Eve the church bells ring! Christmas, to the French, is a time for remembrance—and no one is forgotten. In the small village church- es, and in the mighty cathe- drals of Paris, the people come to make their solemn remem- brance of the Christ-Child—in prayer, in sacred song, and in Solemn observance of the Mid- night Mass.. Christmas remembrance• in France begins with the Mass and extends to the children. Small wooden shoes are fill- ed with sugar plums—the same wooden shoes that were left by, the doorsteps, filled with oats, to help feed the camels of the To the Electors of Hibbert Township My sincere thanks for your generous sup- port December 7th.
