CHRISTMAS OBSERvANCES.
Customs Handed Down to Us from
ByEOne Ages.

Customs Handed Down to Us from
BygOne Ages.
It is an interesting fact that nearly
all of the present observances of the
sweet Christmas time which have been
handed down to us from bygone ages
are relics of heathenish barbarism.
The practice of decorating with ever
greens has been ascribed to various
sources. Decorating with flowers and
evergreens was a pagan manifesta-
ton of rejoicing and worship. This
custom was also observed among ma
tions both of Gothic and Celtic origin.
a superstition among the .votaries of
Druidism was that houses decl1ed with
evergreens in December would be Wis
tied by sylvan spirits and that the in
mates would be unnipped by the frost
and cold winds.
The mistletoe bough was held in VEN
Grafton by the pagans, as it was like
wise respected by the Gothic and Celtic
nations. Among Celtic nations it is
known to have been an object of great
yeneration. The ceremony of collect
ing it by the Druids was one of the
highest solemnity. It is said that the
oaks on which it grew were sacred to
them. The reverence it inspired was
based upon the wonderful healing pow
ers it was believed to possess.
If hung'up in the house twas cons1d-
cred guard against evil spirits.
Its introduction into Christmas fes-
rivals might be appropriate as
emblematic of conquests obtained
over the spirits of evil and dark
ness. The reverence of the mistle-
toe among the ancient Britons ap-
pears, however, to have been limited
only to that which grew on an oak,
whereas, the pearly berries, which
bring a blush 10 the cheek of the mod
ern maiden, may be gathered besides
from the hawthorne. lime and old APP
pie trees as well as the Scotch and sill
yer fir. There existed tradition that
the maid not kissed under the mistle-
toe at Christmas would not wed within
a year.
The Yule log was considered by the
ancient Druids protection against evil
spirits. There were various superst;-
tons mingled with the ceremony of
lighting it. It had: to be lighted with
clean hands in order to extract it's vir-
tues. 1t was deemed an evil omen if the
light went out during the night. The
Yule log is still kindled ON Christmas
eve in various parts Of England
