Today, the poem which begins ? T was the night before Christmas, u hen all through the house Sot a creature was stirring, not even a mousey? is one of the most beloved of. all Christmas writings. Dr. Moore was an aloof profes sor of Greek and Oriental litera ture in the Episcopal Seminary in New York. He wrote the poem on Christmas Eve 1822 and read it to his seven children.

First open in 1930, it attracted 28,000 visitors that year. The season of 1952 broWe all records until 1953 top ped that. The Biltmore House required five ytears to build, and employed the talents of artists and artisans from Europe and America.

N Puritans Outlawed Yule as Frivolous The Puritan government of Eng ' land outlawed Christmas In 1643. With the" restoration of the Stuarts Christmas customs and traditions were revived, but Christmas never regained its former prestige in England. It is observed religiously in the churches and as a day for family reunions and social gatherings, in contrast to the lavish feasting and boisterous merry-making of olden time. Merry-making and gift-giving come in for their share, however, on December 26 which Is Boxing Day. The origin of Bo::ing Day antedates Christmas and can be traced to the custom of gift-giving during the Roman festival of Satur nalia. In Christian liturgy December 26 is observed as the feast of St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr, and during the centuries when journeymen and apprentices were in the habit of levying upon their masters' customers, "Christmas Boxes" were collected on St. "?"nhen's day You'll find the answers to "Who sells W.

First invented as a sales give away promotion for Montgomery Ward by Robert L. May, Rudolph was featured in many free booklets before he became associated with Christmas. Songwriter Johnny Marks lilted the title "Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer," so he /wrote a song about it. He was so sure he had a success that he start ed his own Publishing company, using "Rudolph" as his first re lease. Gene Autry made the initial Recording, and that one record sold 2,000,000 copies. - < Last year, there were 10 differ ent recordings of the song for sale, j-anging from boogie-woogie by Sugar Chile Robinson to Bing Cros by, and Cowboy singers. i t Everyday Menace 1 THE DANGER of lire at tacking your home is ever present .... no taiatter what precautions you take.
