tury; but the practice of exchang-
ing gifts, banned by the early
church as pagan custom, didn't
come in to practice until several
centuries later, and then only as
a remembrance of the Three
Kings Of the Orient who followed
the star to Bethlehem.
The first Christmas menu in
this country, that of the Puritans
aboard the Mayflower, consisted
Of: salt fish, bacon, brussels
sprouts, gooseberry tarts, and
plum pudding. Quite difference
from today's Christmas repasts! 1t
is in this category that America
can lay practically her only claim
to fame, namely, the Christmas
turkey and pumpkin pie. How
ever, there are some who would
dispute our claim-they say that
it's just a leftover from Thanks

The market place on Christmas

Things and things for sale. !.
Tinsel baubles, giled toys,
Along the Christmas trail!
Jostling crowds Of shoppers;
Trees of fragrant pine
And Douglas fir and silver

A never ending line
OF eager noisy vendors
Crying out their wares;
''Whoever buys on Christmas
Eve
The Christmas blessing shares"
Southern smilax, holly wreathS,
SprigS of mistletoe.
Everywhere the falling flakes
OF starry Christmas snow;
Throngs of harried shoppers,
Children's eyes aglow,
Reminiscent of a Light
That shone - long ago.
Vendors in the market place
Bid you come and buy.
There was once Gift that came,
Priceless, from the sky!

A light where sorrow and dark

Rejoicing and praising God;
And they left their flocks and

Bearing gifts they followed this

And found the Christ-child be-
