On Christmas Eve large sheet Is spread over the dining room talevel. Each member oi the household write* his nam* an a slip at paper and pins it to the sheet. Gifts are sneaked In during the night and placed under the names of the persons for whom they are Intended: even the youngest children forbear to "snoop" until the morning and removal of the sheet reveals all the presents. Tears ago, eggnog was served while breakfast was being pre-, pared?such a breakfast that no one paid much attention to Christmas dinner. When friends dropped in, everyone had something to eat so that families Just sort of "pieced" all day.

Ths feast was than known as Christ's Mass and the boxes as Christmas boxes, not to be opened except by being broken. All manner at, tradesmen soon realised that the Idea was a good one, and it became a common practice for apprentices and others to , take a box round to their business, acquaintances, singing carets the while. By the time Pepys wrote his famous diary, Christmas boxes were well established, and he mentions them several times in his writings. Swift also has a word to say about them in his "Journal to Stella," written in 1710; "By the Lord Harry, I shall be undone here with Christmas boxes." One public servant, the "bellman," who enjoyed the privilege at soliciting Christmas boxes, was in some respects the forerunner of the postman, often being commissioned to deliver letters. At the approach of Christmas he would push poems of his own composition under the doors of townsmen whom be had nerved. They were reminders that racognitian was expscied on Boxing "Omr.
