Christmas with the Germans means

Germany that we have adopted that

The tree seems to be the very key

such person as Martin Luther
lived. since IL Is 20 him that the
modern world is indebted for that
special Christmas JOY.
After Luther's cloister days he mar
ried and had numerous little Luthers
and IL was to his own little family
group that he first gave the idea OF
the Christmas tree.
We are told that one Christmas
Eve. on his way home from another
town he passed through a snow COW
