December fifth to fill the shoes and
on December sixth the jolly old fell
low enters the houses and strews
goodies all over the floor Christmas
Eve is known as "Strooiavand, ="
which means strewing evening This
strewing custom is common in many
parts of the world
Instead of a Christmas tree in
Italy, they have The Urn of Fate" 4"
This is large urn in which is placed
the Christmas gifts. According to
their age the children put their
hands in the urn and draw out their
presents. Sometimes a blank Is
drawn. but the unfortunate receiver
Is never allowed to leave until he is
recompensed.
A splendid banquet is the impor-
tant feature of the Italians Christ
mas. This is Fish Dinner" Fish
prepared in all styles is served Fish
is eaten a week before the feast
night. In Italy the religious aspect
OF the holiday is emphasized.
Not only the grown-ups and the
children are remembered at Yule-tide
in Sweden but the birds also have a
Merry Christmas. In the yard OF
every farm house is erected a pole on
the top Of which is placed a large
sheaf of grain for the birds Christ
mas dinner. No Swedish person for
gets these little fellows on Christmas
Day. Although the Swedish homes
are always clean at this season there
is a general house-cleaning through
out.
Mexico's celebration Is both sport
i've and religious. They have bull
fights and cocking-mains as we'll as
a production of THE Passion Play"
From Germany we received the
Christmas Tree; Santa Claus hailed
from Holland; the Christmas stock
ing idea originated in France or
Belgium. and to England we owe the
Merry Christmas" greeting.
So we see that in all parts of the
world this happy season is commem-
GRATED, and although each country
celebrates it in its own way the un-
derlying thought and feeling of the
day is the same, be the customs what
they may.

sands of people all over the
EEfEkas world who are likewise en-
Gks tering into the spirit Of the
Christmas season. Let us take a
peek at some of these far away coun-
tries and see low their customs COM
pare with ours.
We will start with Germany, be-
cause the Germans are known to be
the greatest lovers Of Christmas and
its festivities. From them we have
received a great many Of our Christ
mas legends. Months before the glad
day the women and children begin
sewing and knitting their gifts These
presents are generally sensible, use
full ones, and not silly trinkets only
good to look at. Every one receives
q remembrance. No German Is for
gotten.
In the German village of Lausha
the life occupation Of the peasants Is
to carve toys by hand for the little
ones. Wonderful playthings are
made with the skilfui knives of these
villagers. In nearly every home on
Christmas Eve you might find a
Christmas tree. Their trees are
smaller than ours and are generally
placed on the center of the table
Christmas In Germany Is a family
day. The relatives and close friends
are the only ones bidden to the home
The entertaining of large parties Is
left for other occasions.
In the village of Knecht Ruprecht
the villager with his big bag goes
around from door to door handing
all kinds of goodies to the youngsters.
But he also carries a bundle of rods
