EVOLUTION OF CHRISTMAS.

Editor Herald:-Very few of the
millions that observe Christmas give
thought to its origin. If. told, they
would hold up their hands in horror,
and would hardly believe that we
were simply initiating the old pagans
AS all our Christian festivities have
their origin in ante-Christian customs
according to history, there is no
doubt that our Savior was born on
the 25th of december. But. it may be
in the month of May or some other
month, but that is no difference to
the actual fact or anniversary of His
birth. But we hold in commemora-
ton the significance of the event. Our
modern Christmas has it's foundation
in the perennial customs of our fore
fathers, from whom we get the idea,
and we follow in their footsteps down
the ages of time. The Romans wor-
shipped Saturn, and had great reVer.
ence for him, also they thought he
settled on the foundation Of the Rom
an City. Many of our Christmas dec
orations are Roman customs, such as
greens of all kinds, as they used
green in decorating their churches.
The Germans use fir trees in their
Christmas festivities.
The mistletoe was used by the old
Druids. Also the present custom of
kissing under the mistletoe is a
Druid custom.
st. Nicholas or Santa Claus was
born about the year 800. The Ger.
mans say that Santa Claus always
distributed his gifts Christmas Eve
by coming down the chimney.
Cup on the house top, click, click,
click,
Down through the chimney came St
Nick"
Some old men and women do not
believe this, but ask the children.
They will tell you they believe it as
much as they believe that George
Washington cut down that cherry tree
with his Ratchet.
And today who dares dispute it?
Santa Claus has the name Of distrib.
uting more gilts to the children OF
this world than any other man. !
don't care If the other fellow lived
as long as Methuselah, 500 years.
Santa Claus will hold the prize.
