At many places the whole family ko to early service, at fi or (I o'clock, as the custom may be, and In Koine parts of the country every one carries a lighted candle. These can dles, placed on the harks of the pews, tioincl lines make the only llht In the church. At some places when the clock strikes 1 on Christmas eve the bells rliic and every house and church is ipilckly lluhted up. Cliilstiuas Is a day or cheeriness and happiness throughout tiermany.
