There are many ways a family can attempt to put renewed emphasis on Christmas as a celebration of the coming of the Savior, however. One charming custom you Can initiate in your own family circle is the making of a Jesse Tree during Ad- vent, the four weeks before Christmas. This, tree is named after the ancestor of Jesus because of the Old Testament verse: "And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek; and his rest shall be glorious.” (Isaiah 11:10) A small tree or large branches can symbolize the root of Jesse from whence the Christ Child came. Have the youngsters in your family draw and cut out Old Testament symbols from. construction paper, to be hung on the Jesse Tree Appropriate symbols for your Jesse Tree could be a crown or six-pointed star to represent David, tablets symbolizing the Ten Com- mandments, an ark to rep- resent Noah, an apple sym- bolizing Adam and Eve's sin, a rose to represent the mother of Jesus, and a sun to symbolize Jesus,-the light of the world. Read portions of the Old Testament to the young- sters before they create their. Jesse Tree symbols. This will help them to under- stand what the symbols mean and also help them understand the history of God's people. When Christmas comes, suggest t h at the youngsters put on a pageant, with the help of Mom and Pad. (You There is melody in the air, resounding in song. Christ- mas is the perfect time for musical expression! Many popular holiday songs were originally written to impart the knowledge of the birth of Jesus and the meaning and merriment of Christinas. These songs became known as -"carols," derived from the French word "carole," meaning round cinnre Early carols were simple songs with primitive dance ac- companiment. The first, documented American Christmas carol is thought to have been writ- ten for the Huron Indians by St. John Brebeuf, a French missionary. This carol, now translated to English, re- mains part of Christmas song and dance in modern Quebec, Canada. The custom of Christmas caroling, dates back to the 16th century when singing groups traveled from home to home, wishing friends and neighbors the best of the season. Though greeting cards 'have replaced the necessity of in-person greet- ings, the tradition of door: to = door Caroling is still widely practiced today. Group singing is now in- cluded in religious and other services — emphasizing the importance of Chriitmas carols Most of us would agree that Christmas and the whole world is brighter and more meaningful when =Sid is used to express the beauty of this holy and happy Yuletide season.
