How It Began 'Green Christmas' Traces Heritage To Ancient Times A sprig of mistletoe, a holly weath, an evergreen tree ? these and other decorations of greenery come Into homes at blSS ttaC ~ and trad,t,on The "green Christmas" Is an ancient custom, more unlver a-ssaswsss and winter-blooming plants were prized for their promise of spring and the sun's return. For the first Christians, the same greenery symbolized life eternal. ? ? ? "The Holly and the Ivy." As the old. Christmas carol Indi cates, both holly and Ivy share an ancient heritage as holiday greenery. Early characteriza tion of holly as masculine and ivy as feminine goes back to pagan games, with "the holly and fbe Ivy" In friendly com petition. -JLi*?r. t?<utlon says that spiny-leaved hollies are "he" hollies, while the smooth leaved plants are "she" hollies The kind of holly brought Into the home at Christmas deter mines whether "he" or "she" will be head of the house for the coming year. ? ? * "Rosemary, that's for Re membrance." When Shakes peare wrote this famous line rosemary was not only for re membrance?It was for Christ mas decorating, too. Rosemary, a 'fragrant herb that remains evergreen In warm climates, Is no longer used as a holiday decoration, but it still retains its legend ary connection with Christ mas. ^Th?.le^end W ^t. during the flight Into Egypt, Mary spread the Holy Infant's cloth ing on a rosemary bush to dry. At once, the bush became sweetly scented, and its pale white blossoms turned to a lovely blue. ? * ? Mistletoe for Luck. Today a meeting beneath the mistletoe brings good luck In the form of a kiss. Ancient peoples believed that mistletoe had a more pos itive control over luck, good and bad. A bit of mistletoe hung over a doorway was said to ward off evil. A later belief suggested that mistletoe could bring bad luck If mistletoe boughs put up for Christmas are not removed by Candlemas Eve (February 1), this belief holds that each leaf will bring forth a goblin to re main for the rest of the year, harassing the household. THERE'S MAGIC The Danish Christmas Eve dinner features rice porridge, containing a "magic" almond that brings good luck to the one who finds it. r Sgt. Miller Receives ?

On his plaque was the wording "The first enlisted man to retire from the Beulavllle National Guard Unit." In presenting the plaque to Miller, his life as a National Guardsman was reviewed by Lt.

Right in the fireplace, an area that has been a tradi tional part of Christmas for more years than Santa has worn a red suit! Before the turn of the cen tury, Santa Claus, or St. Nich olas, frequently wore a blue robe, although Clement Clarke Moore, in "A Visit from St. Nicholas," pictured him as "clad all in fur, from his head to his foot." But for centuries, the fire place has been a treasured and often vital part of the home. The fireplace as it exists to day?that is, the firebox along the wall, with a chimney in stead of an open fire in the middle of the room ? dates from about 1066. Built of Wood Early fireplaces were built of wood or wicker, but they proved so dangerous that in the year 1419 the City of Lon don decreed that henceforth fireplaces be made of tiles. stone or plaster, under the penalty of being demolished. I A greatly Improved system of making tiles was adopted by the Dutch from the Spaniards following the Treaty of Breda In 1609, and paved the way for more elaborately decorated ceramics on fireplace facings, walls and mantels. The use of such tiles for fire places soon spread to England and then to the Colonies. Skilled Dutch craftsmen decorated ceramic tiles with designs of oranges, grapes, tu lips, vases of flowers, ships, sea monsters, landscapes, horsemen and royal portraits. The English used similar pictures and added many charming scenes designed by renowned artists, including Kate Oreenaway, famed for her Christmas card designs.
