0.RHILE Christmas is, Of course,
w still primarily thought of as the
birthday of Christ, some of the
modern methods Of celebrating the day
are not strictly those of the land and
countries in which He lived. These
methods are rather an outgrowth of the
customs and traditions of the tawny-
haired northern races of Europe, those
imaginative and sun-loving peoples
who gave to us both Santa Claus and
the Christmas tree.
The very name Christmas is of COM
paratively recent origin. though there
ls g. remnant of the old heather time
ID the term Yuletide, for some time now
obsolete. Among the old Teutons Yule-
lde was the highest festival, as 1t was
also among the Saxons when they still
nwelt in northern Germany and before
they had left the snow-carpeted castles
pf their homeland gods.
Among those people the most i'm
sportant event in their year was the
winter solstice. Just why this was so
( u obvious. In those cold northern
countries the sun was not always

Sbeaming warmly down, as 1t did in
sunny Italy and summer STEPPED
Greece. When all the northern world
was held In letters Of ice and snow, 1t
was naturally welcome sight to our
heathen ancestors when the sun chang
ed his retreating course and, turning
wrathfully on the icy foe who had fol-
lowed him, drove the usurper back to
his palace of ice. Then the days grew
longer and the nights shorter, and heat
and warmth returned to the earth, and
the first premonitions Of the distant
spring filled the earth. 1t was no Won
der that the people of the frozen flords
and Ice covered rivers and dark forests
II the north then grew light hearted
ind rejoiced.
This winter solstice was supposed to
take place about the 18th of December.
and from the evening of the Gath day at
December to the 4th day of January
extended the period known Of as
Twelve Nights. during which the
change In the zodiac was celebrated

~ was during the Twelve Nights that
the Spirit Hunter rode through the air,
Weakening all the life slumbering in
nature by his magic storm song, OdIn
as the Spirit Hunter is the most an

the different Teutonic tribes and is
common to all of them In England
