- GEORGETOWN, Jan. MANY people
throughout lower Delaware yesterday
observed what is known as "Old Christ

According 90 tradition handed down
for more than a century, there are
hundreds Of people who believe that
January Is the real Christmas Day.
They contend and the statement is
vOuchsafed by some Of the oldest and
most reliable citizens, that regard 'css
OF the severity Of the weather, hops,
daffidils and elder will peep through
the ground before sunrise on "Old
Christmas Dsy," even il the earth is
covered with a blanket of snow ard
the ground Is frozen. IN cOmmemora-
tion OF the birth of Christ, there arc
many who enjoy the festivities with
their families on December 81 and also
have big dinners January 6. Poss by
there we're but few In Sussex county
who were up early enough yesterday
TO examine the spots where daffodils
hops and elders grow TO ascertain il
they really id peep through the frozen
ground. Many years ago parents used
to tell their children at midnight on
January The cows and oxen would
fall on their knees and below, and that
the roosters would crow as they id at
no other time Of tho year. However.
people cling TO The idea darOugh0ut

was changed there was a mxup, and
that the real Christmas nay should
