ENGLAND ANDU.S. | BANNED CHRISTMAS Old Country Parliament Did away With Celebration of the Day. England abolished Christmas onde, in 1643, when parliament did away with any celebration of the day. The king protested, the people stormed, but parliament stood firm and for twelve years there was no celebration of Christmas, everyones who attempted to celebrate being arrested and fined. Massachusetts followed suit In 1659, when the general court enact ° ed that "anybody who is found ob- serving, by abstinence from labor, feasting, or any other way, any such day as Christmas Day shall pay for ter and for years Laver redognized OUR CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS ORIGINATED IN DISTANT PAST The customs which mark the Christmas season have a great simi- mummers, Prepares home in England, Is that of the Those who wish to cele hot * larity in all lands which observe the day. Everywhere it is a time of good cheer, of feasting and often drinking, of decorating with flowers and greens, of singing and of mak. ing presents to friends and to the needy. There are many little cus- toms belonging to the Christmas cel- ebration which are peculiar to one country or even to one small section of it, but the general idea of having a good time and of helping your neighbors to have a good time is the underlying principle of the holiday season everywhere. Scholars have argued and quarrel- =d for centuries, and are still at it, as to whether the birth o Christ really rerred on December 25. Argus ments have been brought forth, which some regard as conclusive, to 'how that whatever was the date of iriat's birth, December 25 could not be correct. The reason for, the ~elebration at this time it is. gener. ily agreed, is that at the time of the Intrgduction. of Christian deligicn nearly every land held a féstival nedr the end of the year, and It was easier to invest pagan celebrations with Christian si; niflcance than to destroy the old ceremonies and es- tablish entirely new ones, - One of The Explanations. Christmas comes at the time of the winter solstice when the sun has reached its lowest point in the hea- vens and is just beginning to climb upwards. The feelings of all man kind, which have been depressed by the gloom of the sky and the sterll- ity of the earth, are naturally of re- joteing that conditions are on the mend. - This seems to be the reason for the celebration which marked this season of the year in almost every country before the coming of Christianity, and the celébration -f Christmas on Dee. 26 now. The Teutonic races all observed a sun festival at the time of the year They said that Freyer, the sun god, awoke and lighted up his wheal once more, and was drawn over woods and meadows his ship by a boar with golden bristles, The Saxon sun festival was Yule. The Norse --honpred Thor. In the woods of Britain, long before the Saxons came, the Druids celebrated their peculiar festivals. - All these cele- brations wefe characterized by much eating and drinking, and much re. sembled the Roman Baturnalia. That the early Christian leaders recognized the necessity of allowing these pagan customs to remain on |f some form is well authenticated, It is known that when Pope Gregory sent St. Augustine to England to England tp convert the people, he instructed him to attach the tradi- tions of the Christian Church to the customs he found, in order not to make too violent a change. So fit was that after the hardy Saxons had accepted the new religion they con- tinned to kill many oxen for a great banquet, but In honor¢of the birth of Christ instead of the sun god Thus it is that with & common ori- xin the Christmas customs of &ll brate in this way garb themselves in all sorts of outlandish costumes, and disguise their faces. Then in bands | thay roam the street, blowing horns and other . unmusical and begging small favors. inally, and In some places to present time, the mummers secured the heads of deer and other large animals, or made imitations, and placed them on their Orig- the toy stotes of the present day. The '"hohby horses" sometimes seen in our theaters ware a and ahe still in use. Kissing under the mistlétoe has come down to us without a break in | the | Dryjds. Thess ancient priests used | the custom from the time of the mistletoe in their practices as a pliant of particular mystic value, and traditions have clustered about it ever since, In English country houses, it formerly was customary to hang the mistletoe with much cere- mony." Now It Is done in secret, with the idea of sllowing the fair damsel who walks under it to be genuinely surprised. It is - often hung over a doorway, when It can- not be seen by one entering the door. Where the custom ig given much at- tention, a berry is plucked each time & young man gets a kiss. This ber- ry the young man presents to the maiden as a souvenir, berries are gone, the kissing privi- lege cesses. The young woman who falls to be kissed under the mistle- toe will not be married during the succeeding year, according to tra~ dition. Mistletoe Love Test. In some parts of the United States there is a little love test which re- quires mistletoe. Two sprigs are placed on the hearth before the open fire, The one making the test gives his own name to one of the twigs, and that of his lady love to the pther. To spare hia feelings in case the test goes wrong, he is allowed 10 keep the name to himself. © As"the heat drives the twigs they move about to jump. If they move closer together, the young man's beloved loves him. If they move apart, the omen is a bad one.
