The traditional holly for the holi iays is widely believed to have had tc origin in the Druid practice of jringir.g holly sprigs indoors. The Druids woodland spirits lived in the tolly. Indoors hollv gave the spirits a lice warm place in winter. Besides, he lush green hollv and the contrast •f its red perries provided beauty 'hat could he revered by men when .he sacred oaks were shorn of then iollage. The early Christian rhui ch frown ed on such pagan customs and tried to stamp them out. In due time, however, it was felt that some of the customs could be adapted to the new Christmas conception. Some beautiful legends associate the holly with Christ. In fact, it is often railed the Christ thorn. One legend depicts the leaf spines as the crown of thorns; the red berries as the sins of the world and the blood of Christ. Another credits holly with first springing up from the footsteps of Christ. The plant is said to re main green all winter as a reward for once hiding Christ from his pur suers. The impact of the holly on the Christmas celebration is evidenced in the traditional holiday colors, green and red. The Druids weren’t the only people of old who thought the holly was something special. Pliny, the great Roman historian, insisted holly blossoms caused water to freeze Also, that holiy thrown at any wild beast would make it lie down tamely next to the branch. These legends, forgotten by many people, are said to#be the reason I we decorate with hollv Three Million Miles 01 Roads —<*>— j While all are not paved there I are three and one-third million I ntiles of highways in this nation. 1 Latest figures show that sixty three million licensed drivers are I operating 52,217,000 moto^ ve | hides on those highways.
