PERHAPS the very oldest of all Christmas customs is that of decorating our houses, churches and streets with evergreens, At the very dawn of history began the worship of the trees, or forest worship, and the groves were man's first tem ples. All our instincts, our passion about nature, are forest memories, for forest worship was universal. In later times to each god some tree was dedicated: Apollo had the laurel, Jupiter the oak, and Greece for ages had its sacred groves. The forest worshipers could not worship without giving, because to worship is to give, and these boughs and garlands were the oldest gifts of man. Before he had learned to shape offerings of his own rude skill he could bring to the sacred trees and hang up on them the first flowers and greenery of spring and the perfect fruits o au tumn. These gifts, remember, were aeverr as with us, decorations; they ware sac rifices, . The Romans, with a fine eye for beauty, used to garland their temple and hom.es and gathering places and even the big Coliseum with boughs of green and ropes of flowers. This par ticular custom was received by the Christians with a special sort of ap proval, recalling, as it did, the fact that our Lord entered Jerusalem amid the strewn branches of the multitude. We must not forget the welcome and lovely mistletoe and holly. Indeed, Christmas without them would not, with us, seem quite complete. Mistletoe was for ages regarded as sacred by the old British pagans the Druids and was surrounded with great mystery and sentiment, little un derstood by us.. It was supposed to possess healing powers and that it could ward off evil spirits. The reverence paid to this little parasite seems to have been re stricted to it, only, when It was found growing on the sacred oak trees In the Druids' groves. Once every year the Druid high priest cut it with a golden sickle, blessed it and distributed the sprays among the people, praying aloud that each one who received it might receive divine blessings, of which it was the symbol. Having received the sprays, the people hung them above the doors to propitiate the gods during the year. The only remaining significance at tached today to the mistletoe is the idea that If a maiden Is not kissed under it on Christmas day she will go unwed throughout the year. This idea goes so far back into the past that one cannot trace it. f It is because the mistletoe is rare and not easy to get that we found and brought forward the holly, which though lovely, is used only as a sub stitute for the mistletoe.
