So we get the expres- l sion “horseplay" for rough games,‘ "Then there was the tolling ofi the "Devils Kneel" the tradition being that the Devil died when! Christ was born and so bclls were tolled to slgnalize his demise. l “Up to the reign of Queen Vic-j toria, the Yule Log was brought in. in ntany country districts. It was of great size and the ancient custom

;mlstletoe, which ls not a. tree but a parasite and so the enemy of man made an arrow of its stem and kill- ed man's friend-since when peace and contentment vanished from the earth. Christianity teaches, however, that Christ came to bring peace and good will, so, under the plant which has power to hurt men and women give each other the Kiss of Peace.

"Dickens tells us how Mr. Pick- wick salutcd Mrs. Wardle under the mistletoe with all courtesy and decorum and the old lady submitted with the solemnity befitting so seri- ous an affair. The younger mem- bers of the party. however, only submitted after struggles and screants. Even though the idea of the Kiss of Peace may be forgot- ten, yet it seems that this parti- cular custom will outlast many othcrs.

"The first Christmas Card was issued 1irivately in I842 by the Rev. Edward Bradley, author of "In Vcrdatit. Green" a. skit on the life of a freshman tit the university. "Those who printed his card issued othcrs in the following year. Then in 1846 Mr. J. C. Horsley, R.A.. issued a card llthographed and

coloured by hand-only 1000 copiesl

Ivcrc printed. Today front a humble beginning the Christmas card is used all the world over and by a sintple method brings kind thoughts and greetings which are appreciat- ed by millions of people.

“Santa. Claus is connected with Christmas. but of course he is St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra. who was much beloved because of his con- stant works of relief of those in distress. He was especially fond of children and would come to houses where children in need leaving behind secretly parcels of money, clothing and toys. Hence his connection with the giving of {tilts at Christmastlde. as his feast day is on Dec. 6th not. far from Christmas day. He is shown in old pictures as a short. jolly, burly man with long white hair and beard. He died in AD 342 and a legend per- sisted that he came back at this time of year laden with gifts for the poor and friendless which hat gave secretly. |

"In many schools connected wlthl religious foundations there was the custom of selecting on Dec. 6th a 110V bishop who had his officers and performed semi-regillous rites until the Feast of the Holy Inno- cents on Dec. 28th. He generally comforted himself with decorum and was treated with respect by all during his term of office.
