R & R OUTLET
MAIN ST
MARSHALL. N.C.
The traditional image of
. : an outdoor Christmas scene
brings to mind, for most of
us. the brilliance of sun
light on snow-covered fields
and hills. But this is an
Idea that originated in the
northern parts of Europe
and America and of course
it doesn't really apply to
the climate in many parts
of our country.
In southern California,
for instance, roses are
blooming at Christmas in
deed, we all know this if
only because of the famous
New Year's "Rose Bowl"
football game. And in Flor
ida, at Christmas time,
there's apt to be a hot sun
beaming down on sand.
The Legend of
Christmas Tinsel
According to an old leg
end, a poor peasant woman,
with many children, deco
rated a Christmas tree with
such humble trimmings as
she was able to gather,
mostly berries and nuts and
such odds and ends as she
had managed to save up
during the year. She labored
far into the night trying to
make her tree as beautiful
as she could.
While she was asleep,
spiders came and crawled
from branch to branch
trailing their lacy webs be
hind them. To reward the
woman to0 her devotion,
The Christ Child blessed
the tree and all the spider
webs were turned into
gleaming silver.
