History of Christmas
Decorations
Mrs. Frances A. W i 1 1 e 1 1, j
teacher at Crater High School, i
presented a brief history on
Christmas Greens and Flow-

Chapter. Mrs. Willett stated
that the custom of decorating
homes on festive days is world
wide. It is neither pagan nor
Christian in itself but rather a
natural expression of joy min
gled with solemily and has been
practiced in all parts of the
world for thousands of years,
she explained.
The plants used traditionally
as Christmas decorations were
mostly evergreens: first, be-
cause they were the only ones
available in the winter jcason: century in Strasbourg,
secondly, because from ancient ; In conclusion Mrs. Willett
times, the evergreens have stated, the custom of decorating
been symbols of eternal life. : with Christmas greens and flow
Among Christmas greens, the ers has its roots in the legends
mistletoe has perhaps the great- and folklore from many lands
est number of colorful legends, j and many people.
One opinion is mat tne wora,.
mistletoe, comes from the mis-j
sci inrusn, a rnc.ss,ciiKcr ui me
gods, who brought the plant lo
earth. Another explanation of
the name mistletoe is 'hat it
comes from misteltan. meaning
a different twig. Its Latin name
Phoradendron means tree-tnief.
Was Sacred
To the pagan druids of ancient
Britain, the mistletoe was a
sacred plant and valued it for
its healing qualities. In France
and Sweden, the people also be
lieved that mistletoe had mi
raculous healing qualities. The
use of mistletoe has an interest
ing history, the speaker related.
Many meanings and customs
have survived: the kiss under
the mistletoe; Ihe token of good
will and friendship; Ihe omen
of happines and good luck; and
the new religious significance:
"The mistletoe bough at our
Christmas board . . . Shall hand,
to the honor of Christ the Lord:
. . . For lie is the evergreen
of Life."
Medieval superstition in Kng-!
land endowed holly wilh special j
powers against witchcraft. Ilol-
ly is Ihc symbol of Christmas : St
joy and merriment and is used .
extensively during the holiday ',
season.
The poinsottia, which is a na-, ?
live piam 01 cenirai America,
is used throughout Ihe United
States and Mexico. Ihc Me.xi-1
cans call the poinsetlia "(lower
of the Holy Night," and have
a legend which explains its ori
gin, Mrs. Willett explained.
The cyclamen was called
"Cock of the Mountains" by the
Arabs. The cyclamen g r 0 w s
abundantly in the Holy Land !
where it was dedicated to Mary
because of its "red throat" at
the heart of the flower, which
looked like a drop of blood, it
symbolized the sword of sorrow
that pierced Mary's heart, the
speaker pointed out. j

matically cringe when they see
a housewife push a cart of gro
ceries out the (runt door. Some
of the carts will go home with
the groceries.
The ihett u( grocery carts has
become almost a fad in thus city.
The carls, which cost from
S:'5 lo MO. often end up as barbe
cue grills, laundry carls or baby
buguies.
Suburban stores regularly
"lose" as many as 50 carts a
week. Most of them are returned
by the shopper or found aban
doned by store employes.
T M. Maass. manager of an
A,'T supermarket on Ihe west
side, sands a truck out daily to
eight nearby apartment com
plexes and rounds up mosi ot
the stray carts. Last year, the
truck crew found three carts

Bui. he added, fewer than
half the shoppers who "borrow"
the carts return them Musi

The real loss comes from
carls that are converted lo bar
