The Yule candle, of goodly size, lighted early Nativity celebrations. The lighting of candles is indeed a universl religious and national custom. Candle lighting featured the Norse mid-winter festival of the turning of the sun. The Jewish Feast of Chanuckah or Lights is also celebrated atmii*iJy at tbe same season. ^ St Nicholas rides Woden's horse on Christmas eve in Holland. There the children put up their wooden shoes in the chimney corners as • step signal for the merry fellow. Children of France followed the custom by placing their shoes for Boahomme Noel by the hearth. In England and the United States, boys and girls improved op the idea by hanging up stockings. These can hokl more gifts. .. tit | Romans exchanged gifts during gay celebrations. But giving of presents of course goes back much earlier. The Romans, however, gave it clearer identity as a part of their festival program. Christmas boxes and cards of today have a link to the ancient Roman festivities. In France, gifts are distributed to children New Year's eve instead of Christmas. In England, Germany, Italy, and most everywhere else, the custom is like in the United States. Santa comes a-visiting at Christmas. In ancient times the Teutons regarded holly as a symbol of good luck. The custom was widespread of hanging evergreens in the interior of dwellings. Later the legend was widely circulated that all growling things blossomed and bore fruit the night of the Nativity. Holly' came also to symbolize the crown of thorns worn by Christ. The Puritans, however, regarded holly and mistletoe decorations as pagan In nature, and they therefore were outlawed. Kir and Mrs. B. T.
