The eaglets grew rapidly, and in the

to leave the nest and scrambled off
into the nearby woods, where their
parents still supplied them with food.

The use of evergreens at Christmas
time is older than the Christmas tree,
the Christians seeming to have copied
It from their pagan ancestors. In a

the use of evergreens at Christmas
time: Against the feast of Christmas
every mans house, as also their parish
churches, were decked with holme.
ivie, bayes and whatsoever the season
Of the year afforded to be green. The
conduits and standards of the streets
were likewise garnished, among the

port of Christmas to the people, was
