If has become the custom to imagine that every ceremony connected with the Christmas holidays in old England was observed on the holiday itself. Nothing could be further from the real facts. It should be remembered that in England of old, and to some extent even in industrial England of today. Christmas does not refer only to the holiday itself. but to the twelve days and nights immediately following the feast of the Nativity. It would easily be discovered by anybody who took the trouble to give c few moments thought to the subject that it would be nigh physically impossible to fol low all the ceremonials and customs connected with the Christmas season on one day.
