Soon now, the last-minute hustle and bustle will give way to the highest moments of holiday celebration. It's a time for fun and feast ing, a time for light-hearted laughter and heartfelt prayer, a time when friendships are renewed and family ties are strengthened. Throughout this community, and Indeed throughout all the communities where Christmas is celebrated, the spirit of the season finds expression in innumerable ways among them, the gladness of gift-giving, the merriment of parties, the happiness of hearth and home and, above all, the solemn hush of midnight, traditionally the symbolic time for heralding the Birth of Christ. From the holly wreath on the door to the packages under the tree, from the gaily deco rated windows of stores to the manger scenes in the churches, the customs of Christmas contribute to the meaning of the Day just as early Christian leaders meant that holiday customs should.
