IN THE GERV.AN alpine districts
an ancient belief is that cattle can s
speak on Christmas Eve. No one | i
ever hears them, however, and it is I I
considered sinful to try to listen I |
Another tradition holds that bees I !
can sing on this holy night.
SHOOTING OFF GUNS and pre- j <

is an old custom in
southern Germany. flBrflVwVJ
This colorful ritual
has been forgotten in lift!
most communities,
but it is still practiced
in a few places,
like Berchtesgaden
in the Bavarian alps.
The noisy ceremony L jHS^Ssil
dates back to pagan
times, when bonfires were kindled
to greet the returning sun.
On Christmas Eve about ten
o'clock members of the Weihnachtsschiessen
- Verein (Christmas Eve
shooting society) pack up their
rifles, shotguns, revolvers and handgrenades,
and march to their appointed
spot in the hills. Then at
eleven o'clock they begin firing
away into the air, setting off fireworks
and lighting bonfires. At exactly
half-past eleven all the banging
stops, and the men quietly go off
to their village churches.
BRAZILIAN CHILDREN parade
through the streets at Christmas
time dressed coiorfully as shepherds,
singing carols. This procession
is called the pastor inh as, or
shepherds1 parade.
It is customary for children in
Brazil to place their shoes in windows
or doors in hopes of Christmas
gifts, but in big cities the traditions
associated with the North
American Santa Claus are coming
into favor. Since it is summer in
this tropical country in December,
Santa Ciaus with his fur-trimmed
clothes, sleigh and reindeer seems
a bit incongruous, however.
IN COLCMEIA THEY celebrate
Christmas Day with
i \ a glorious fireworks
I /M display. In almost
every village square
CBrJlwPWSJ a huge wooden effigy
jSC' a*?* of a cow is erected.

of the children. This
curious custom is
called the Vacos Locas. or "fiesta of
the crazy cows."
CHRISTMAS DAY is a holy day
in Italy, and people flock to the numerous
churches for the real merrymaking
for Italians comes on
Christmas Eve which if. much .more
of a holiday than Christmas Day
to them. As the eve of Christmas
is a religious vigil on which no
meat is allowed, the feast has to consist
largely of fish. Most Italians
choose eel for this banquet. A certain
large species called capitone is
especially popular, though quite expensive.

IT IS A PRETTY and humane
Christmas custom In Scandinavian
countries to hang a sheaf of grain '
outside the window In some snow
covered yard so that the birds nuw
share in the feast.
In Sweden and Finland the Christmas
tree is kept standing for sow
time, usually until January 1?Canute'a
Day, when the neighborhood
children are invited in to "plunder"
it. It is a matter of great orids
to the average youngster to have attended
a large number of "plunder
Ings."
ALMOST UNIVERSAL In Sou?.
America is the custom of the family
supper after Midnight Mas*
known as Mtsa de Gallo. As It -k
then early on Christmas day, the
restrictions on eating meat, and am
feasting in general that prw
vail on Christmas Eve, are over.
THE ANIMALS MUST NOT be

[M||a -?n|| outside the kitchei

The tradition of hanging sheaves
of yellow heavy headed grain
outside the house in midwinter
is as old as cur history. Thousand*
of years ago, in the Stone Age, the
belief was that the spirit which lived
in the earth and made things grow,
Red when the grain was cut. Tlif
spirit hid, it was thought, in the
last remaining staLks, that was why
the peasants laid aside the last
sheaf and kept it. Midwinters, when
the earth was frozen and covered
with snow, and it was dark almar'
all day, the Stone Age people' hunjj
this sheaf near the place they lived
The spirit hiding in it helped the s?r
become strong again, and later ti
returned to the thawing fields to
bring the peopie a new harvest m
blessed grain.
