Christmas foods as well as
Christmas decorations are made
more Interesting by some of the
quaint superstitions which cling to
I hem. Kadi nation observes Its
cherished customs and trail it ions
and we have borrowed many of
ihem that could be adapted to our:
particular needs. Home of the cus
toms come down through the ages
since before Christ was born and
the day Itseir, December was
orngiiiiilly the beginning of tlx- win
ter festival of ancient Greece.
Holly was used as ft symbol of
rejoicing at paKan festivals. Later
the Kngllsh believed that tho
sharp holly leaves represented the
thorns Christ wore upon,lh'' erosn
and th little red berries the drops
of Ids blood.
This giving of gifts to the poor
at Christmas is tiaVed to the folk
tale that among the beggars who
came to the doors at Christmas
time was the Christ child in dis
guise and that whatever was given
to the poor at this time was in
reality given to the child.
Other Vuleilile Symbols

mas pea cock were delicacies of
medieval days which are used to
