Olf Santa Claus Was Born in U. S. A.
V.—■
E'UROPE brought Christmas to
“ America, but America gave
Santa Claus to Europe.
When the early Dutch settlers
can\e to America, they had never
heard of Santa Claus. Old St. Nicho
las, who brought them presents each
December 6, changed rapidly in the
New world.
His name became abbreviated and
altered to Santa Claus, and his ex
ternal appearance underwent great
changes. From a lean ascetic he
was transformed into a jolly, fat
old fellow. His pale face became
the color of rosy apples. He laid
aside his canonical robes, miter and
pastoral stall to become clothed in
a cap and brilliant red suit, trimmed
with ermine. The new Santa Claus
traded his famous gray horse for a
reindeer and sleigh. He also stopped
giving presents on December 6, and
started distributing gifts on the night
of December 24.
The changes in his outward ap
pearance were reflected in his
change of character. When he came
to America he left behind his rod
and bag of ashes with which ha
beat naughty children, and adopted
an entirely lovable personality.
Completely transformed, he again
crossed the ocean to be welcomed
everywhere from Scotland to Aus
tralis.
Men Used Holly-Bush
To Beat Unruly Wives
It wives knew history there
wouldn’t be any holly in the Christ*
mas decorations. A stick cut from a
holly-bush was a husband’s most ef
fective means of restoring discipline
when his wife “answered back.” He
always left the prickles on the stick,
itoo.
Fortunately—for the wives—this
custom belongs to the dark past and
has long been forgotten.
