where the first Xmas tree came from:
and, worst of al, nobody knows whe-
ther December 25th. is really the cor

that the earlier Christ ians looked up

nov that Xmas is celebrated mostly
throughout the world. OF course the
celebrations varying to some extent
but ordinarily there is the same air Of
mystery and expectancy and secrecy
that prevails with US and the homes
are decorated with holly and Missile
