The Saxon lords threw open the doors of their great halls to peasant and nob lie alike during the festive season and all enjoyed great feast ing, songs and the exchange of gifts. A tremendous Yule log was dragged upon an open fire pit and festivities lasted until the embers alone re mained. " i The same custom was followed in the pre-Civil War South. Tlia slaves often soaked a log In the cypress swamp* long before Christmas so that It would burn slow'/, and ex tend their Christmas freedom. 'Open House" during the Yule tide season is a true mark of demo cracy and a realization that he who was born mi Christmas day came to save all men. Cowboy's Party Is Real American Fete One of the most typical of our American holiday celebrations is the Cowboy's Christmas Ball, which has been held almost every year since 1884 in the small town of An son, Texas. The celebration started as a wed ding party in the old Stir- Hotel when ranchers poured in from the widely scattered ranges to honor one Cross P. Charley and his bride. It was such a success that it was repeated year after year. Christmas Eve brought the spirit of the old West to Anson. Cowboys donncKl their colorful dress, their gay shirts and decorated boots. Cowgirls outfitted themselves in gingham dresses "like mother wore"-. A cowboy band swung out and the dancers perform the heel and toe polka, the Varsouvienne, and other old folk dances.

Q ante A lor c4ll ? Hake Chridtmas Samily, Party, Christmas is the time for family get-togethers. One of the best ways to make these gatherings memora ble for all concerned is to engage In games which the whole group can pi*y. A nice one to start off with would be a Sugar Plum Hunt. Have one member of the family hide Christ mas candies ahead of time in vari ous nooks and corners around the house. At a given signal everyone starts hunting and gathering the pieces. The one 'who gathers the greatest number would be given a priae. The Christmas Puzzle is another good one to get things going. Look through some magazines, which are filled with pictures of Santa Claus at this time of year. Cut out enough of these to go around, paste them on stiff cardboard, and cut them into pieces. Then put each group of pieces in a separate paper bag. At the signal, everyone opens a bag and starts putting the puzzle to gether. The Xmai Scramble Contest is good for a group with older children in it This is simply a contest to see who can unscramble a group of words the fastest. Just for fun, see if you can work out the following ? astna, erircden, ehsgil, dyrpa, gosiknct, erte, trepesn, hupnc, alsorc, and niborb.

It has been estimated that wolves have destroyed 500,000 of Santa's helpers within the last decade or so, leaving an approx imate 50,000. The difficulty of keeping the ani mals alive In a temperate climate makes It unlikely that any of the" few remaining will be transported from their native regions to other land* for the holiday sesion, as has been dona in the past. American boys and girls will have to be satisfied with stand-ins. The few department Stores featur ing Santa's ' complete outfit . this year will be using native deer as substitute for Dasher, Prancer, and company. CHfia*d 0*o* QvUkuU Did you know that the observ ance of Christmas was once for bidden in England ? the borne of ttM Yule Log, the Carol-singer and the wfessallersT * , ? During the Reformation many1 believed the undue jollity of Christ mas day was sacrilegious. Parila ftient, on December M, 1063, or dered that "no observance shap be held of th? fire and twentieth day of December, commonly called Christmas day; not any solemnity used or amrclsed la churches upon that day fc respect thereof." This eOict proved to be very un popular with the masses of the people. It was not until many years later, however, that Christmas was ?nee ft gal* regarded as a holiday. \ (i * ' If Santa Misses, Reindeer Supply Will Be at Fault See our huge cc' of gifts for Him ? c whatever his build . whatever hi3 tastes you are sure to find just the gifts he'll give happy thanks for " ? for many a month to come/Won derfully ? our top quality gift group has budget .wary price tags.
