(By RICIIAIID CONWAY)

"Daddy, why do we have Christ- mas trees at Christmas?" Have your little sons and daughters ever ask- "ri you that question? And have you

sen able to give them a sound answer?

Many are the legends attached tc this delightful tradition. The ides of the tree as part of the Yuletide festivities has its origin according to mythologisfs. in the days of Ancient Egypt. 'I'lrey knew nothing of fir trees 4-01‘ wary little -so the Ecyptirms used the palm, which was more or less sacred to them. The palm sprouts a new branch each mouth. so the Egyptians took sprigs hearing twelve shoots —one for each month of the completed ycar~aud decorated their‘ homes.

The institution of the fir‘ 9s the popular Christmas tree originated on the Continent. In one country, it is said. the "tree-man" used to visit all the houses in the district. on the Eye of Noel, to ask if the kid- dies of the family had been good

Why is tlic Christmas tree decor- ated with candles? Just another old custom. The story is told how, one clerr winter's night. Martin Luther, one of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation. went for a. meditative walk in a wood near his hcmc. As he look-ed up among the snow-tipped branches of the huge fir trees, he could see the star- spangled sky above And to him it. looked as though the sparkling orbs wcrc hanging on the trees. The sight so inspired Martin Luther iha‘. he cut. down a young fir tree. took it ironic and attached small lighted candles to its branches And this great spiritual leader's ex- ample was followed until it. became the custom to decorate the Christ- mas tree with candles.

I I I I

Christmas owes much to legend and ancient. mythology. The last days of the dying year were always a time for celebration and feasting. long before the birth of ‘The Babe of Bethlehem. Many of our mod- ern customs date back to the Ro- mans. Present glvlmz for instance. Tire Romans‘ end-of-the-yfear fes- tival was the Feast. of Saturn and Saturiialia was given over to merry-

making, feasting and present-giv- ing. In Lie Roman age, social fies were brcken during the Saburnaila celebrations. Masters mingled with thci: servants, the rulers ewitertained their warriors, and presents were handed round by rich and poor alike. I I I

What would the modern children's Chrnstmsts be without Santa Claus? Here is HllSL-ZCI’ old Christmas cus- tom that has withstood the march of modern sophistication, for Santa. 15 as Fem 10-day as ever he was. Actually, Santa Claus f: a. Dutch contraction of Saint. Nicholas, who was known as the children's saint. Si. Nicholas’ Day was December 6th. Arid such was his generosity, as portrayed by legend, that. on the night of his commemoration day, poor girls were accustomed to hang- ing up their stockings when they retired. in the hope that their saint. would visit them during the hnurs of darkness to leave them Riffs or a purse of money. Whether their hopes were realised or not, legend does not. tell us. But al- rhoirgh Saint Nicholas has become Santa Claus. and December 6th is no longer a feast-day ln' Britain, the spirit of this ancient. benefactor reruains.

ceremony. m the first fork of each apple tree homemade cake ls plac- ed, then Somerset cider, brewer by the farmer's wife, is flung over it. And with the eerie light of lanterns shining on the faces of the happy gathering, this song is sung:

Have you ever heard of "tire burning of the ashen faggot?" 'I’liis ancient custom is still practised in some parts of the West of England. Pieces of green-wood ash are gathered together and bound about. with hazel or willow saplings. Then, with the farmer, his family and his friends clustered around the open chimney hearth, the faggot. is flu-rig on to a blazing fire. As the wood flares up, one after another the ‘binds’ snap. And each snnp is the signal for another quart of cider to be brought in to be consumed by the excitedly happy party. A really Jolly custom, don't ‘you think?

lvlany Christmas customs are con- nected with farming maybe be- cause courrtry-folk are considered to be more superstitious than townsfolk. Orr Christmas Evc. many of the Scandinavian peasants shew their floors wth ‘Yule straw,’ the significance being of course, that Christ was born in a straw- filled manger at Bethlehem. Later lliese simple country-folk Rive some of the straw to their cattle, be- lieving that this preserves thcnr from illness. The rest. of the Yule- straw is strewn on the land, thus bringing assurance of a rich har- vest in the fall. .

Everyone knows that. mistletoe and holly are the most. popular of

mistletoe ls supposed lo be an unlucky plant. Bur obviously the countryfolk of Wa.es do not be- lieve this. Mistletoe that has hung in the farmhouse during the Festive Season is given to the first; cow to calve in the New Year. The belief is that to do so ensures a healthy and productive season for the farmer and £liS'h€l‘(I5. -

‘The lighting of the Christmas candle is an age-old tradition that has BIL“ "st. faded into the mists of time. l-ut; many years ago, io home was without its candle dur- lng Yuletide. Why this was done does not seem to be very clear al- though modcm historians bell-eve that. the lighting of a candle pays homage to Our Saviour as the Lia-ii. of the World. The traditional Christmas candle custom is still practised in parts of Ireland. In the country cottages on Christmas Eve, a. candle is lit. in the win- dow. The door is left. ajar, a bright. fire bums on the brick hearth and food and milk placed on the freshly-scrubbed table. These sim- ple Irts-h folk wish to offer every hospitality to travellers who might. pun that way during the Eve of Noel. And the travellers legend has led them to expect are the Holy Family. 'I'l..'.r belief is that. the Child Christ, will visit. their homes and bless them‘ '

Surely one of’ the most. popular of all Christmas customs is that of feasting. The Romans abe drank and made merry during the last days of the dying year. and the cus- tom has survived throughout the centuries. But although every mod- ern family looks forward with areal. relish to the traditional Christians dinner there is not. the romance in the meal as was the case in the good old days. Boar's head and badger were the popular Yuletide dishes of that. era. ‘To-day, how- ever you hear little of such dell- cacies. The turkey now holds pride of pltwe

The annual badger feast is still a feature of life at Ilchestei‘ in Somerset. The villagers meet at "to local inn on Christmas Eve, a badger- la roasted on a spit over a blazing open fire then the landlord carves the Joint and each guest is handed n slice of the luscious meat. Knlvas- and forks are not. used. The feast ends with the villagers drinking P1.- Christmas toast in old ale from horn cups, hundred: of years old.

Illince Pies Prohibited In Days of the Puritans

The mince pie has had many en- emies.

The Puritans would have none of if, and even in the Eighteenth cen- tury it was a forbidden delicacy for a large number of clergymcn. Dur- ing the Commonwealth the hold- ing of Christmas festivals was for- bidden.

In 1644 panlament passed an act ordering all citizens to observe Christmas day as a solemn first, to be spent. in silent atonement for previous festivals that hrrd passed in riotous living and merry mak- ing. This order remained in force for l2 years.

Tire authorities in several towns tried to reduce Christmas day to the levc, of other days. In Canter- bury by order of the mayor, it was proclaimed that "Chirstmas dav and all other superstitious festivals should be put down."

People who attended service in the cathedral were mobbed. The in- habitants formed themselves into two parties, and feeling in the mat.- ter frequently resulted in the ex- change of blows

In 1652 it was proclaimed that "no observation shall be had of the five and twentieth clay of Decem- ber, commonly called Christmas day, nor any solemrilty used or ex- ercised in churches."

This order was enforced by sold- iers Ovens and lnrd-srs were search- ed, and where scasonable daintles of decorations were found they; were carrirzl off and destroyed. A chant:- cd attitude towards the Prritan dislike of Christmas festivities crime with the restoration of King Charles.

ceremony was held in commemora- tion of the escape of a. Queen's undergraduate from a wild boar. Tire young nian is said lo have been walking in a wood near the college reading Aristotle, when he was attacked by a wild boar. To save himself, he rammed the book down the beasts throat and choked it. Whether that is the true ex- planation or not, cannot be proved, but we do lcnuw that. the hour's head was the traditional Christ- mas dish long before Queen's Col- lege was founded. It might still have been the popular dish, except that wild boars died out in this country a century or more ago!

An ice-cold feeling enveloped his body. He firmed again and made recklessly for the stairs. As he blundered clown them he thought he heard footsteps ahead, and ne halted. blutching at. the broken balusiers. The footsteps, too, had ceased.

He resumed his descent. and at the bottom dimly discerned another corridor which led to the back of the building. It. might lead to the kitchen, where he could get. water

for Murray. He wanted to be out of this cursed house. with its creaking stairs and frightening

shadows —but he couldn't go with- out Murray

Once moi-e he heard other foot- steps. Despite himself. he broke into a run. A dim light from a small window at the and of tho passage softened the blsckneu.

Suddenly he halted in his tracks. Dead ahead he saw another shadow, a shadow that was taking definite shape in the faint light neu the window.

For a moment he stood. horrified unable to turn one way or the other. His very limbs seemed paralysed.

“Come onl" he cried hoarsely. "I don't. care who or- what you are. Come on! Show your facet"

His staring eyes were focussed on the shadow at the end of the pass- age. Slowly it. took shape until it resembled a. human form-

He remembered the gun in his pocket. With trembling fingers he took it out. and levelled it dead at that object. a. few yards away. Then he pressed the trigger, and a reverb- eratlng roar echoed throughout the building. It was followed by the dull thud of a falling body.

The gun dropped from hi: nerve- less fingers and cluttered on the stone floor. He drew his arm across his forehead and wiped away the beads of perspiration which had gathered there.

I-Ie had shot. something. God! What was it?

I-ILs courage began to ooue back, and he walked slowly in the direc- tion of the fallen object. It was then he remembered the mulch-box

his pocket.

A second later a match raspeci and flared. I-Ie shaded the ﬂame with his hand and bent over the thing on the floor, only to start. back with an exclamation of hor- ror.

"I-Ieavensl It's Harvey!"

For a moment that seemed an eternity he stared down at the still form of his friend, at the pale face

"Harvey!" he repeated, iii a stunned voice. "Oh, God, what: have I done!"
