good spirits may enter.
In Mexico there is a custom that
dates back to tavern days, when a
lighted lantern was hung on the tav-
ern door if there was any room in
side. At Christmas time the Mexi-
can people hang lanterns outside
their doors to show that there is still
room within their heart for Christ.
England is the home of the "yule
log" or Christmas block. Houses and
churches are decorated with ever
greens, especially mistletoe, to which
additionally sacredness has been at
tached since the day of the Druids.
The custom of singing carols at
Christmas time is very popular in this
country, also.
In the United States it is a custom
to exchange gifts at the Christmas
season.
In France, although the French
celebrate Christmas as Christ's birth
day, gifts are not exchanged until
New Years Day.
All Christian countries have some
form of Santa Claus. He is known as
Santa Claus in the United States,
but his name differs slightly in other
countries. This saint is known among
the little children as the person who
brings them presents which they have
desired. He is only the spirit of Civ
ing among older people.
