mas tims.
Christmas Is a great spiritual
Occasion and ths atmosphere of ex-
citement and anticipation that per*
maates ths world of ths young has
a deeper, mors significant counter-
ptfrt In the world of the older gtn<
•ration,. Tha hard-boiled, the cyn-
ical and ths disbelievers cannot
enter into tha spirit of Christmas.
Their hearts are too heavy too
filled with guilt and Inner fears,
and they close their eyes to all but*
lh« material aspects of the holiday
observance. But there are those at
all ages whose heart becomes filled
with tha wondrrtai glory of the oc-
casion, who see beyond the glitter
and foil and tinsel and who enter
with the faith of a little child inttv
the realm of the spirit known as
Christmas. For ail these, there is
Joy and peace and happiness,

Turkey dominates the American
holiday dinner menu but back In
the days of Medieval England It
was tfie boar's head which occu-
pied the spot of honor at the Yule-
tide feasting table.
During late September or Octo-
ber, bands of hunters using trained
boar-hounds pursued the ferocious
boar. Once cornered by .the hounds,
the wild animal was surrounded
and killed by spear* or driven Into
a net and captured.
Chasing the boar was a danger-
ous sport tor the animal was pos-
sessed of a nasty temper and very
sharp teeth with which ha could
easily wound and sometimes kill
the hunter and Ills dog£ '''’' ’' ’
But the fruits of the chase were
worth the effort and the bolder the
boar, the louder were Bis praises
sung as his steaming head was
borne to the Christmas table.

Christmas Day
The date of December 23, at the
bttthdhy of Jesus, and hence,
Christmas, has been generally ob-
served in most Christian nations
since the fourth and fifth centuries.
Prior to the fourth century, Chris-
tians observed only Epiphany (the
commemoration of the Baptism)
and Easter with festivals and re-
ligious rites.
