Christmas FeaStS.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

Christmas is universal throughout Chris
tendon, and 1t is observed by Christians
sojourning in heather and pagan coun-
tries, but the menus on the Christ child S
natal day are as varied as are the coun-
tries themselves. While we are slowing
away all that for which the dyspepsia
tablet doubtless was created what viands
and wines will cause similar havoc in
Merrie England, in Germany, in France.
in Latin America? Who started this habit
of Christmas gorging, anyway?
Oddly enough. it seems to us now, the
setting of Christ's birthday as of Decem-
Der % and the custom of feasting on
that day as a tribute to Christ came to-
gether by no design. Indeed, when the
birthday of Christ was held to be any
one Of a number of other dates, notably
January or March 2s, or April 10 or 20,
or May 20, or November II, the idea of
gormandizing on the birthday of the
Savior was repudiated by early Christians
The sage Origen, in his eighth homily on
Leviticous. scorns the very idea of keep
ing the birthday of Christ as if He were
king Pharaoh Disputants were dis
cussing the dates previously mentioned
before December % was put forward by
certain men claiming to speak with
authority.
The first authentic mention of the day
now accepted throughout the world was
in a Latin chronog1'apher of A D. 354,
which was first published in its entirety
by Mommsen in 1850. It says: Year /
after Christ, in the consulate of Caesar
and Paulus, the Lord Jesus Christ was
born on the 20th of December, a Friday
and 10Th day of the new moon" Even
here, however, nothing is said of feasting
on that day.
