It’s been great fun making this special shopping tour
around Cleburne because almost every store visited on this
trip showed signs of Christmas. There’s nothing so thril-
ling as Christmas shopping, and you know what the wise
shoppers do—they buy early for two reasons—to avoid
the last minute rush, and to select their gifts before they've
been picked over. ____

ury that although there are indi-
cations that it was in order even
earlier. Students of Christmas,
while disagreeing upon the exact
time of the birth of Jesus, agree
that in the earlier years of the
Church, there was a union celebra-
tion of the Nativity and the Epi-
phany in the belief that the birth
of Jesus coincided with the appear-
ance of a star in the East which
revealed it to the Gentiles.
The word Kris' mas is said to
be “Christ’s mas” however and
the word Noel is from the French
word "nouvelles" meaning tidings,
Druids. Romans, Saxons, Jews.
Anglo-Saxons have all kept such
a festival, marked in the days of
the Romans by temporary equality
ef slaves and masters, and the
Druids by the use of evergreens,
and the mistletoe in temple rites-
by the Jews with a dedication of
their temples, and in the days of
the Anglo-Saxons by' the elaborate
customs which have long endured
and which marked the middle
Ages.
Then the great "halls' of the
nobility offered hospillty and en-
tertainment to the poor. Then were
the splendid pageants and ban-
quets such as those King Arthur’s
court knew so well, with minstrels
and gleemen, harpers and Jugglers
pipers and dancers, log fire im-
mense and of long duration with
in. hunting, wrestling and jousts
without. Intemperence was preval- I
ent, and the ale and mead flowed
widely while there was the lighting
of the Christmas log, the bring-
ing in of the boar’s head, and the
games—dice, chess and baegam- I

season that tradition has brought
down to us, despite the natural in-
clination of the Christmas world to
date the great festival from the
birth of Christ.
Authentic records of the actual
date and season of the year in
‘which the Christ was born has
never, however been established,
snd historians disagree as to them
both. It was many years after his
life on earth, however, before j
December 35th, was fixed as the i
the season's turn from short days

natural demonstration of pleasure

alia, which fell at such a period
was such a festivity of rejoicing,
marked by privileges and hailed
as exempt from ills, with the spirit
of mirth and unbounded license

the Norman French into England
but repudiated by the Puritans

and it was then that "waits" made
their rounds of the homes before
dawn on Christmas morning, sing-
ing in payment for coins. The
word carol comes from the Latin
cantare (to sing) and rola! (the
interjection of joy).

Back so far as to .the time of

of the custom of . decking our
homes during the winter solstice,
symbolic of "life triumphant, the
symbol that our Christmas greens
today interpret.
It was during the reign of
Queen Victoria and her marriage
to a German prince that the cus-
tom of the Christmas tree was
brought into England. and the
German emigrants brought it to
America.

Crowned on Christmas Day
A succession of Roman emper-
ors that began with Chraelmagne
was crowned on Christmas day, in-
cluding Alfred the Great (whose
defeat by the Danish hosts is held
to have happened because he would
not interrupt himself and court in
their twelve-day's celebration of
the season even with the enemy
horde at the gate) the Danish
King Edwards, And Edward the
Confessor and his son Harold,
whose coronation ■ took place to-
kittens, puppies, sprays of flow-
ers and scenes. Then, as later,
the religious card was not so gen-
erally procurable. America orig-
inated the more generous use of
holly and mistletoe' on cards, and
added the poinsettia because oi

There is found the Yule log, the

was a custom of long-standing in
other years, and may still be fol-
lowed in parts of the peninsula,
to celebrate the season with the
yearly bath, the great wash tub
dragged out into the center of
the house for the series of ablu-
tions. Candles bum all night for
"Kristine” who brings the gifts,
there are games until the carolers
burst in upon the revelers, mask- -

Many countries claim the Christ-
mad tree. In Scandinavia there is
the legend of the "service” tree
supposed to have sprung from the
soil where a pair of lovers were
killed by violence, and where the
tree mysteriously appears with its
myriad of lights at the Christmas
time when no winds blow. A thir-
teenth century romance features
the gigantic tree ablaze with burn-
ing candles found by a questing
hero, with the haloed child shin-
ing at its top, the whole aflame
with candles, the tree significant
of mankind, the candles of humans

Virginians Observe Day.
. It was by way of the Virgin-
ians that Christmas observance
came to America, and in Eng-
land the restoration of the royal
family to the throne restored the
rites of Christmas there. It. was
not until 1658, however, that the
law against its celebration was re-
pealed to New England. With
this halting by the Puritans the
Christmas festival began a lang-
uishing from the immense elab-
orateness of its earlier celebrations
that hsa gradually grown, but
Christmas. one truly believes, will
never become extinct. Amid chng-
Ing custom the spirit of the season '
still survives, and whleuproar-

commemoration continues to exist
as a time of celebration all over
