Detail typical Christmas The typical North American Christmas combines many customs and traditions - the tree, Santa Claus, lights, mistletoe, gift giving, caroling and card sending - brought to this country by settlers from Europe. Many of these customs are directly related to the birth of Chris$ and stem from church religious ob- servances. Others, though, have a basis in folk customs, some present even before the birth of Christ. Early Christians did not celebrate the birthday of Jesus as a holiday festival as it is known today for seversl hundred years after He was born, The Rev. Cyril Martindale, a Roman Catholic historian has written that such festivals were rejected by early Christians because they were associated with pagan rituals. Later, the celebrations of Christmas was introduced to counteract the pagan feast of the Sun-God held in Rome about December 25. The word Christmas is derived from the Old English, Cristes Maesse (the mass of Christ) and was first called by that name in 1038. An explanation of why Christmas is sometimes written Xmas; "X" is the Greek equivelent of the "ch" sound and the letter "X" is taken to represent the word Christ. Christmas was a seasonal celebration in Europe from the sixth century on. Dutch settlers brought the tradition of St. Nicholas to America in the 17th century. His tradition was the forerunner of Santa Claus. St. Nicholas was the Arch- bishop of Myra and was said to have given three dowerless maiden sisters his money, thus making them marriageable. One version of the story is that the youngest, after her two sisters had each received a gold purse dropped down the chimney on successive nights, hung her stocking in the fireplace hoping for her gift. She received it the third night. St. Nicholas became the patron saint of children. In Europe, St. Nicholas became a figure on a white horse (or donkey) who wore the robes of a bishop and sometimes carried a bunch of twigs in one hand to punish naughty children and a bag of presents in the other for good children. The evolution of this gift-giver into Santa Claus includes aspects of Father Christmas, a folk figure long known in Northern Europe. He wore a red robe trimmed in white fur, was jovial, enjoyed merry making and encouraged kissing under the mistletoe. Washington Irving, the American author, described the. St. Nicholas of the Dutch settlers in 1809 and made him a popular figure in America. The description of Santa Claus and reindeer in Clement C. Moores poem "The Night Before Christmas" imprinted an image on the American Public in 1823 of Santa as a jovial, hearty gift- giver riding through the sky in his sleigh. If you have not already been to the Museum to see the Christmas Display why not plan a visit during the holiday season?
