Fortunately, the “idea” in the |
minds of some to tel) the truth to |
the kiddies—that there isn't a San-
ta Claus—isn't catching on as well
as they hoped
Everybody—and this includes the
kids—enjoys a good story, especial- j
ly around the Christmas season.
Down through the years have come
many beautiful stories, jammed
with the kindness of the best in hu
manity. It is from such stories that
many of our Christmas customs
have come. For the observance of |
such customs the United States is
indebted to many lands. Palestine,
Egypt, Turkey, Italy, Germany,
England and Holland all have done
their bit to contribute to our added
enjoyment of Christmas customs j
and traditions. To the Holy Land, |
more than any other, all civiliza
tion is indebted for the matchless |
history of the Christ child
One writer who has investigated I
the observance of the birth of the
Christ Child has noticed one curi
ous fact. That is, Christmas was
not among the eat liest festivals of
the church. Irenaeus and Tertul-
lian, early church fathers, omitted |
it from the list of feasts. According |
to what Origen noticed in the Bible,
only sinners, not saints, celebrated |
their birthday.
It was in the year 200 A. D. that I
evidence of the feast of Christmas
was first noted. This was in Egypt.
And it wasn't until years afterwards
that December 25 was decided upon
as being the date for the celebra- |
tion of Christ's birthday. During | '
that time Christmas was celebrated
on various days, one of the dates
being as late as May 20 Eight hun
dred years after the first feast of
Christmas, church authorities used
the term Christes Maessi, from
which comes the English word '
Christmas This was in 1038.

first time in the state in 1943 will
receive a set of 1942 plates in addi
tion to the stickers.
The stickers are to be attached to
the top right center of the windshield,
directly behind the rear-view mirror,
according to Earl Snell, secretary of
state.
The sticker must be soaked in wa
ter 30 seconds, preferably in a warm
place. It then is smoothed on the in
side of the windshield with the de
sign facing the front. The back of
the stcker may then be pulled off,
leaving the design on the glass. Care
should be used in attaching the stick
er and it should be allowed a reason
able period to dry, it was said.
