his early years. Some of the Christ
mas carols sung in our churches and
at Christmas tree celebrations have
come down from these early days. In
England Shakespeare's time the fest
ivities lasted until Twelfth Day or
Epiphany, IL days after Christmas
Day. Feasting and merrymaking
took the place Of work. The Puritans'
changed Christmas to a day of fast
ing but with the wane of Furitanic
influences the people of England and
the colonies went back to the old OBJ
servance with it's feasting and merry
making though not so extensively.

The Dutch colonists brought with
them the joyous observances of the
fatherland, including Santa Claus
himself, who was none other than the
children's patron saint, st. Nicholas.
The Christmas tree originated in
Germany, along the Rhine, in the
18th century. 1t spread all over
Germany early in the 18th century
and SO years had become common in
all Christendom. Each country had
it's own peculiar customs regarding
the observance of Christmas. Santa

Christmas Best
Of all Holidays
Christmas Spirit SOftens Hard
Natures and ArOuses Broth
erly Instincts

Of all the holidays we like Christ
mas the best. Most holidays are just
that many days when stores are clos
ed and banks are closed and work
men take a day off. But Christmas
is different. Christmas is an institu-
ton and its duration is a season. In
eleven months of the year people
work and strive and fight for their
sustenance and deal with others at
arms length. Then comes December
with the mellowing influence of the
Christmas spirit that softens hard
natures and arouses the bortherly in
stincts within us. 1t is difficult to de-
fine this Christmas spirit but it is
not difficult to feel it. 1t pervades
the whole community. The green
Christmas trees with their colored
lights radiate an influence that makes
the world better. The story of the
Christ child in the manger and of the
three wise men arouses in US re-
newed interest in spiritual things.
Peace on earth and good will toward
men takes another foothold in our
hearts and awakens in us those finer
sensibilities which seemed to have
been smothered in the pursuit OF
worldly pleasures and possessions.
Began in Second Century
While Christmas is Christian
festival, it had it's origin in the pagan
festivals that long a ntedated the
Christian ear. The Yule log, holly,
mistletoe and waissail bowl are all
relics of pagan observances. In early
England Christmas was called
"Christes Messe," meaning "Christ's
Mass" whence we get our word
Christmas. The anniversary of the
birth of Jesus was first observed in
the second century. The date varied
in various countries, some churches
observing it in December, others in
January, April or May, because of the
absence of any accurate knowledge
of the date of Christ's birth. jan
uary was the usual date observed
in the Eastern church and that date
is still observed in the Armenian
ShuISh. LII Vic loul III III SSi-
turtles there were changes in the dates
to December 25, which has continued
to be the date of Christmas in pract-
ically all countries.
Dutch Supplied Santa
During the Middle Ages Christmas
became the greatest of popular fetes.
Churches were adorned with rustic
decorations and quaint little plays
were given portraying events con-
nected with the birth of Christ and
