TIME NOW TO HAVE THOSE WINTER CLOTHES CLEANED The Valet MRS. ETHEL KINES Where Cleaning and Prices Are Better! Suggestions To Caroles ■No public observance of the Christmas season is uite so charming as the old custom of caroling—a group of sings going from house to house, out of doors, to bring the belovl music of the season to persons -within. The custom is doubly elcome when carolers go to homes where occupants are unah to be out or take part in church services or other holiday obsvances. Following are suggestions made to singers by the dtor of a widely distributed collection of Christmas carols: Carolers may be seen or unseen, in appropriate cstume or in street clothes. The spirit of carpling, not the cctume, is of the utmost importance. It is true that carors in foreign countries, who were poor, accepted gifts;rate- fully from the master and mistress of the manor ouse. However, we in America go caroling imselfishly t6ring cheer to those in hospitals or those who cannot ent into the Christmas festivities because of some handiip. A spirit of giving then is the only object a caroler lould have as he goes a-carolng. Therefore, it is best t the singers to go from place to place quitely, lettii the music announce their presence. Instruments can be used effectively to accompar the carols if the weather permits. Violins and flutes re a good choice. The players should have the music meoriz- ed as should the carolers. A carol concert is ne^ so successful as when it is memorized. Flashlights used to light up the singers’ faces cagive a beautiful effect. They are covered with several lick- nesses of tissue paper, caught by a rubber band, hen held below the singer’s face, this soft lighting efft is an added touch to the adventure. Carolers are inclined to sing too loudly, since theare aware of the unaccustomed distance between theirand their audience. It can be explained that this is unneceary as the clear air at the Christmas season carries the smd sufficiently. If no instrument is used, a pitch pipe is helpfi to the leader without perfect pitch. If the carolers and in a semicircle, all voices blend better. Silence bore and after each carol is the only appropriate proceire for the carolers. Slipping away quitely after the last orol is sung and leaving the music in the ears of the listers is to a carol concert what an “Amen” is to an anthen Some Christmas Customs Of Colonits In ‘New World’ Survive In Use Tody Christmas in the 17th and 18th centuries, was a season to be cele brated in whatever manner the colonists desired. The Southern colonies enjoyed a season of both religious reverence and social fes tivity. The season began before the 25th of December and lasted to January 6th. This period is known as “Old Christmas” lasting from Advent to Epiphany, or Twelfth Night, on January 5. During the holiday, the south ern colonists emphasized eating, drinking, family gathering, and merrymaking generally, much the same “Christmas spirit” as exists today. Food and drink re flected the national customs of the settlers from England, Hol land, and Germany. FVom England The English colonists contrib uted many of the customs which are traditional in the present cel ebration. They often used a holi day salutation for greeting friends, neighbors, and even strangers. It is possible that this greeting is the origin of today’s ‘Merry Christmas” salutation. The traditional Yule Log was burned, and small whole pigs were roasted in the colonists fire places. Tables were laden with mince pies, plum pudding, and the customary “wassail (warm ale) which later became the name for any Christmas beverage. Caroling was popular with the colonists and both religious and folk songs were sung by groups going from house-to-house. The English colonists also decorated their houses with holly, r and mistletoe. Contrary to t. fa miliar image of the auste col onists, is their originatio of “kissing beneath the mis)toe.” However, use of greenery .vdec- orations retained its early lym- bolism of long life, etc. Gifts Not Emphasized Gifts were not emphasizt by the colonists, but the withy were expected to be genera to the poor during the holidayea- son. The children sometimere- ceived small gifts. .The English colonists ind Pennsylvania Germans shed the quaint custom of “Barrimhe Master,” which consisted of schoolboys, demanding dayoff from studies to celebrate theol- idays. The German settlers Iso brought the Christmas tree ito the New World celebration. The Moravians were the -st to decorate the trees with bti- ing candles, in their Chrislas “Love Feasts,” in which theyd- ebrated after church ser\es with coffee and sweet buns, h- iature Christmas “gardens” id yard decorations were also a s- tom of the Pennsylvania Germs and later incorporated into le festivities of all the colonist Most Precious The Colonial Christmas pn- ded many traditions which e still in use during the holiy season. Of these, the right to c- ebrate the birth of the Cht Child, remains the most precis of the freedoms granted to t people of the New World. Oil It is a real pleasure to say “thank you” and wish you the happiest of holidays. Southern Pines Recapping Co.
