HOLLAND’S SANTA
C HILDREN of Holland believe
that St. Nicholas was a kind-
hearted Spanish bishop who had
heard about their land of dikes,
windmills and tulips and decided
to pay it a visit, says Johan Hart
in “Picture Tales from Holland.”
He arrived there long years ago on
December S, and began giving chil
dren presents. Since then he has
always returned on that night to fill
the wooden shoes of Dutch children
with gifts. The children in turn
leave oOt toms carroU or hay for
his borss.

Christmas and December
Christmas is not nearly as old
as the month in'w'hich it falls. De
cember was the last month in that
old ten-month calendar of ancient
Rome. The name comes from the
Latin word, “decern,” meaning
“ten.” In the beginning the month
was known as Decembris, but dur
ing the many centuries that fol
lowed the name changed so that it
now comes to us in its present
form. The old Saxons, recognizing
December as the beginning of win
ter, called it Winter-Monath (winter
month): They also called it He-
ligh-Monath (holy month) because
of the fact that Christmas fell on
one of its days.—Pathfinder Maga
zine.
