Observance Was
Once Against Law

At one time it was illegal to
observe Christmas in this coun-
ny. In 1853 the Massachusetts
Bay Colony's genera court
passed the following resolution:
Whosoeyer shall be found OBJ
serving any such day as Christ
mas or the like. either by fore
bearing labor. Teasing. or any
other way. as a festival. shall
be fined five shillings."
1t is believed that the first
Il gal observance in this
country was in 1857 when Gov
ernor Andres conducted SER
vices in B ton S town hail.
However. it was not until 1856
that the Massachusetts State
Legislature passed laws making
Christmas a legal holiday.

UNIQUE DECORATION

Christmas isn't exactly the
season for moth balls, but they
can be used to make a unique
Yuletide decoration.
Use modelling clay to anchor
tall red or green candle in an
apothecary jar. Put in a handful
Of moth balls and then a quarter
cup OF vinegar plus a teaspoon
of soda or every glass of water
needed to fill the Jar.
The results may surprise you.
The moth balls will dance mer-
rily around the candle for an hour
or SO. When they stop, another
dash Of vinegar and soda will
start them dancing again.

MIGHTY MIsTLEToE

Perhaps the reason that most
young ladies do not object too
strongly to paying the penalty
for standing beneath the mistle-
toe stems from an ancient super
stition that the maiden who
was not kissed at least one time
beneath the mistletoe at Christ
mas would not be married in
the following year. in older
times. berry was plucked from
the miStletoe with each kiss.
