FESTHWHYUES
By G L Langdon
icopyrigiic, im, by nsmliien Musk.)
There are two reasons for Christmas
feasting aside from the instinctwhich
teaches us that the Joy of holiday
making is impossible or incomplete
‘ without good eating and drinking. One
1 is that Christmas is the survival of
one, or both, of two great pagan festi-
vals; the other, that the mind of man
‘in all times and conditions expressed
rejoicing by the laden board and the
brimming bowl. _ , I
Victory, good fortune, weddings,
christenlngs, are celebrated 'today by
dinners, as they have been _for thou-
sands of years, the practicemndonbted-
ly coming down from that prehistoric
time when 'the victory over the animal
was the means' of supplying the feast,
We can find trace of it and its con-
comitant habit. glftmaklnm fm. 'UN
book ot.Esther, where Mordecai ‘says
to his people that on the anniversaries
of the days wherein the Jews rested
from their enemies, and the month
which .was _turned _unto them from sor-
row to joy, and from mourning intola
loqd i1&7._they_ should' make them days,
_ of feasting” and of joy and et sending
portions' one to another and gifts to
the poor.- ' - , -
And what greater cause for rejdcing
and the usual expression thereof could
exl
da
st for the early Christians than the
fm or ins bins of omni _ ’ ~ _

_The priuiirive <°liui'cl;i fou1id_ these
pagan festivals institutions wliicli l
heni. turning the sacrificial rites there-
of _into worship for the born Christ, ,__
stripping. the feasts of their grossest
sensuality, but letting much of their
Joyousness remain. °
Besides the two gi eat festivals men-
tloned. there was another observed at
the same time by a large family of the
Enropgansethe Gauls, Gaels or Celts-
which was similarly adopted by the
church .as she- spread her teaching
among them, but this had a far less
infi_ue_nce than the other two upon the
customswhich have ‘marked the cele-
bration of Christmas down to the pres- 1
more of sacrificial rite and less of
feasting in its celebration. From it,
however, comes the kissing under the
mistletoe. which with them was em-
blematic of the union of man and wo-
man and of the union ofmankind with
Baal. _ from it also comes the Christ-
mas tree. dear to tlb little ones, a snr-
vival of the hanging of votive gifts on
their sscredplnes. ' ,-
