Does your family observe “in
herited.” traditions xt unristmas
time’
I believe most families
observe customs from year to
year which helps in making the
time of the year especially mean
ingful and helps to strengthen
family ties.
America has a rich source of
traditions for Christmas observ
ance as people settling here
brought along customs from their
homelands. Many of the most
observed customs have come
from the northern European na
tions. but thes • have gradually
besn Americanized until they are
becoming typically our wn Now
as never before in our country's
history, we need to stress and
build the traditions and cere-
mcci.ais which mace of our scat-
tired families a close-knit group
and give our newcomers a real
place in the community.
"Lutefish and lefse” play aa
m port art part tn the menu of
the Norwegian far- i es on Christ,
mas eve
.After walking around
the Christmas tree with jv-n<d
hands, s r.gmg Christmas carcts.
the Chratmas story from the
chapter of Luke n the B-b.J s»
rose and then finally the Chr-st-
■nas j. fts are diBtnbutid.
One of the lovely custcms
cvmmg from England has been
the rt-'eadmg aloud tv the family
• of Dicken's “A Christmas Carol '
either on Christmas evs or on
Christmas day.
Lionel Barry
more who has so often delighted
us with his portrayal of Scrooge
once said of him. "Scrooge is just
I an exaggeration of someone we've
all met. A lonely, unhappy old
man trying to get some interest
out of life by pretending to be a
tough guy—and just fur a little
while getting away with it! But
his toughness is only skin-deep,
I really. That’s proven by the ease
with which the crust was broken
when once the Christmas ghosts
got to work on him: The Ghost
l of Christmas Past, which was his
! memory, the Ghost of Christmas
i Present, which was his intuition;
the Ghost of Christmas Future,
which was his imag nation.
"A Christmas Carol” typifies
to people everywhere the break
ing away from the selfish grasp-
ing so often manifest during th®
year and the emerg nee uf the
goodwill, thoughtfulness and k>v®
which is the true Christmas spirit
