Christmas In Many Lands SWEDEN On the day of the Swedish Christmas, the people who live and enjoy it are not the most • important ones. It is the people of the past - the dead and gone, the ances- tors who come back to live for this one day -who are impor- tant. According to Swedish belief, TIE -TACKS for Christmas $1.00 to $5.00 at SAVAUGE'S Jewellery Gifts Fine China SEAFORTH their ancestors return to their former homes on Christmas Eve. By tradition, the living are the intruders on that one night of the year, and they must make up beds and pre- pare tables for the ghosts of those . ancestors. Swedish Christmas begins De- cember 13, when •the little girl in each family becomes "Santa Luciiil"-Lucia meaning "with Light". She dresses in pure white, with a brilliant red sash around her waist, and wears a crown of . evergreen bows, dec- orated with seven .lighted can- dles. In the early morning, she wakens the members of the family by bringing them coffee and cakes -and in this way, on December 13,- is the Christmas season ushered into Sweden. Eleven days later, on Christ- mas Eve, the .Swedish holiday celebrations end -with the tra- ditional trimming of the Christ- mas tree, singing, dancing and a special Christmas dinner, called "Lutefisk".

Greek peasants invoke their priests to -"Please! Please, make the Karkantzari disappear un- til next year . ." A cross, entwined with sprigs of basil is dipped into a copper vessel . of Holy Water - and each room of each farmhouse is sprinkled and blessed. Even. more persuasive, per- haps, in making the Karkantzari disappear is the burning of old leather shoes, faithfully saved throughout the year, over Christmas. As an expression of joy, hope and love, singing has been a part of Christmas celebrations everywhere, since the first Christmas one thousand, nine hundred and sixty-four years ago. In Greece, as in countries the world over, people gather at Christmas to lift their voices - in gratitude, in praise, and in solemn remembrance • of the birth of the Christ -Child.
