CHRISTMAS REVELRY

A figure everywhere dominant in the celebra-
ton of Christmas in the middle ages was that of
the Lord of Misrule also called the Master Of
Merry Disports. In Scotland this same master
of the revels was known as the Abbot of Unrea-
son. while in France his title very much the
same-"Abbas Stultorum-or Abbot Of Fools.
The king, the great lords of his realm and other
important personages must needs appoint such
a leader and organizer of their Christmas festivi-
ties. In Scotland, previous to the Reformation,
the monasteries used to elect such functionary,
but in 1866 law passed for the suppression
of the Abbot of Unreason along with all the
other burlesque and fantastic features of the
Christmas celebration.
The barons and knights kept open house at
Christmas time for fortnight Revelry regned
throughout this period, and on Christmas day the
grand feast, given by the feudal chieftain to his
friends and retainers, took place with great pomp
and magnifcence. The boars head was first and
foremost the board, and its entrance to the
banqueting room heraded by great blare
of joyful trumpets. Borne on a gold or silver
platter by the server at the head of a procession
of mobiles, knights and ladies' the foremost dish
OF the feast made the round of the hall to merry
mlnstrelsy When it was finally given it's place
rosemary and bay were spread around it, pippin
was placed on it's tusk and mammoth pot of
mustard close at hand
The boar's head was put down by act of parlia-
ment in the time of the commonwealth and after
that although it was officially freed OF the ban it
never quite recovered its former place as a part
OF the Christmas feast.
The peacock dish next in Importance to
the boar's head. This bird sometimes appeared
at the board with all its feathers on and its bea
gllded its skin having been removed before cook
ing and carefully readjusted after it was ready
for the table.

In Massachusetts 1t was the worst OF all, IOr
keeping Christmas denounced as pernlclous
custom, and any child daring to think OF as much
plum pudding on that day would make him
self liable to repFoof by the authorities All along
the stern and rockbound coast the only Christmas
trees i'll the days of the Puritan domination were
those that nature had planted there and had
adorned in December with feecy snow. The fires
burned brightly on the open hearths, but there
no invitation to the good saint to descend the
chimney when the embers had burned low. AS
far as the children knew, Christmas was just like
any other day in the calendar Even after the
Puritan reaction against the forms and customs
of the old church had spent itself to some extent
the children of the seventeenth century still ex-
pected gifts in honor of the birthday of Christ.
In New Amsterdam the outlook little bet
ter for the children The Hollanders had brought
with them their ST. Nicholas, and his birthday
celebrated joyously by young and old just
before Christmas, but this day was kept too, by
the Protestant Dutch heartily by any Catho-
lies. Of course, they had not many real toys as
we know them today, but in the shoes that the lit
tie HOanders set by the fireplace in the shining
kitchen, which also the living room, were
homemade sweets and cakes and homemade
gifts Many of these were of useful character,
such as hand-knit caps and mittens, but now and
