Christmas Marked In Early Colonies By Jollity, Feasting Early American colonies along the Atlantic seaboard could have been located on different continents, so far as their Christmas celebrations were concerned. Pattern 2969. BE SMART! Crochet ‘these mit- tens for that outdoor girl. The one laced up the back is “tops” in red, white and blue. The other is worked in one piece. Many of the customs of England were followed by the southern colo- nies ot Georgia, Carolina, Maryland and Virginia. Here the Christmas season was a holiday in the true sense of the word. Feasting and merrymaking were common, but re- ligious worship and prayer were not forgotten. In sharp contrast to this happy celebration was the manner in which Christmas was marked in New England. Puritan leaders did their best to create a different concep- tion of the day. Celebrations were declared pagan in origin, and it was believed such rites were out of keep- ing with the true spirit of the day. Their efforts were overcome after gt nymber of years {ind New Eng- land gradually assumed a character more like those of old England. .

Christmas in the middle colonies of New York, New Jersey, Penn- sylvania and Delaware was cele- brated in the manner that the col- onists followed in their countries of origin. In addition to England. these colonies were populated by people from Germany, Holland and Swe- den. The Germans. for example, brought to America the custom of using the Christmas tree, but the Quakers of Philadelphia limited their observance to religious cere- monies. Family reunions marked the sea- son in both the middle and southern colonies. Houses were crowded with welcome guests who were treated to the best of fowls, wines and sweetmeats. Along the frontier Christmas was a season of active merrymaking which in places verged on rowdy- ism. As time went on, Christmas in the various sections of the colonies became fused until there is today a_ congideruble similarity of prac. tices throughout the United Stateé. St. Nicholas Loved For Piety, Grace 7/7’ ' in the garage never saved cl life The name of Santa Claus is mere- ly slurring the Dutch San Nicho—- las, which is, of course, Saint Nich- olas. American children are proba- bly the only ones who say it exactly that way. Nicholas was an actual person. He was Bishop of Myra. in Lycia, Asia Minor, in the first part of the Fourth century, A. D. He was also the youngest bishop in the history of the church. 0 One akid may cost more than ten pairs of Wanna. May land you in the hospital to boot.

But Nicholas was not a barefoot recluse vowed to poverty. His fa- ther was a wealthy merchant, and his riches enabled him to be a dis- penser of the good things in life. The feast of Saint Nicholas was originally celebrated on December 6. Later when church people in the late Middle ages tried to suppress the festivities which grew up around the Boy Saint's day, his festival came to be associated with Christ- mas day. WRONG PARTY An enthusiastic gardener was proud of his crop of monster red currants. Several of his friends, after admiring the fruit, advised him to send an exhibit to the local ‘horticultural show. He took their advice. No Spinach? Christmas Celebrated in 98 ® in ~ 4 “\ ‘§. ‘\ % KN.--~ In=s!I! ‘ ‘E; Tradition says that Christmas was first celebrated in A. D. 98. It was ordered to beheld as a solemn feast by Pope Telesphorus in A. D. 137. There is no record of any commem- oration during the life of Christ. About A. D-. 340, St. Cyril made careful investigation as to the actual date of Christ’s birth and reported ‘Jecember 25 as the most nearly cor- rect date. Pope Julius accepted this- and established the festival at Rome on this date, which was accepted by every nation in Christendom. On judging being ‘completed and the awards announced, the entrant was disappointed to learn that his currants had won only third ‘prize. He discovered afterward that a mistake had been made. They ‘had been placed in the tomato class. WATCH YOU cdn depend on the special‘. sale: «the merchants of our “She has a speed of one hundred words a minute.” “Who?
