Ancient Customs Told V In New Christmas Design^ -SANTA CLAC8 . . il The "broad face and round little belly" orif lnated la Clement Moore's famous poem, "The Nl(ht Before Christmas," written for his children, te whom he read the poem CTery Christmas Ere. In the poem, 8anta "looked like a peddler Just opening his peek," which accounts for the familiar pose we tnd on so many Christmas cards each year. MISTLETOE . . . The ancient D raids, who Bred in Britain and Gaol, believed mistle toe was sent from heaven, designating purity and love. They called it "omnia sanl tatem" meaning "all heal." In winter they gathered mistletoe with eeremonial rites, dur ing which white-robed priests eut sprays with golden soythes. These were hung over door ways to welcome forest gods. TREK ORNAMENTS ... In the 10th century an Arabian geogra pber, George Jacob, brought the legend to Western Europe that > on the night of the Na tivity all the trees burst forth with ripened fruits and blossoms. His story spread throughout Europe and soon R was customary to hang fruit on trees at Christmas. In time, ornaments took the place of fruit. BANGING STOCK INGS . . . Am one customs brought to New Amsterdam by the Dutch settlers was that of having a burgher dress as old St. Nich olas and distribute toys and sweets to the chil dren. The children's wooden shoes, left by - the fireplace to dry, be came a convenient place in which to leave these gifts. Soon stock ings were hung by the fireplace instead. 1 The Man of Nazareth SOMETIMES we feel that it is but a workaday world. Then comes Christmas, and we honor the Man of Nazareth. It was a glad day on earth when He was born. There were inspir ing days on earth while He lived. There is eternal hope and promise in His sacrifice at death. The gifts we exchange at this time of year are but tokens ?earthly reminders of His great gifts to mankind. The holiday lights that gleam everywhere are but the reflections of the Star of Bethlehem. The laughter of happy children at Christ mas time is but the echo of the joy He brought into the world. As each year passes, we realize how much we need the Man of Nazareth, His love and understanding, His goodness and courage, His humility. "Joy to the world, the Lord has come" was sung two thousand years ago. And because He is still with us, we who publish your newspaper repeat the refrain, "Joy to the world," as we wish you A MERRY CHRISTMAS OLD-FASHIONED BUT NEW . . . Dream homes including "children" and dogi still hold their appeal tor Sue Ellen Shnrman, left, and Irene Kelly, as well as most little girls of their age. The sleek station wagon is modern enough for them even if It Is not rocket-propelled. These are some of the new toys to be carried by Santa Clans this year. Glastonbury Thorn Has Bich Christmas Legend The legend ct( the Glastonbury thorn U that after the death of Christ, Joseph of Arimathea came over to England and a few days be fore Christmas rested on the sum mit of Weary-all Hill, Glastonbury. There he thrust into the ground his staff which on Christmas Eve was covered with snow white blossoms; and until it was destroyed during the civil wars, the bush continued to bloom. Gilts Which Wen Once Welcomed by Soldiers If you want to please a man in service send him: aiubiotypea In five-pound cases, full size Dutch ovens, feather beds and pillows, ripe watermelons, baby wagons, castor oil, catnip tea, fiddle strings, vases for flowers, ice cream freezers, hot water for soaking feet, nutmeg grat ers, Suffolk pigs for pets and chick en gravy in bowls. At least these were the gifts recommended to be sent to the soldiers in Civil war.
