Merr^ Christmas! Merry Christmas!
The spirit conveyed ijy these words is the same in all countries ihut
the words themselves sometimes fall harshly on American ears.
“Merry Christmas” in French has a soft and musical sound. It is
“Joyeux Noel.”
In Spain the eneeting is “Felix Pascuas,” and in Italy, ‘TCuon
Natale.” For Sweden:it:is “God Jul” and Norway, “Gladig Jul.”
In Germany and .Holland the greeting is a tongue-twister that will
stump the average American, The Germans say “Froehliche Weihnarch-
ten” and the Dutch, “Pleizierig Kerstfeest.”
But whatever the language, the spirit behind this greeting is-the
same wherever there ;are .men of goodwill.

Mistletoe Bestows Good Fortune
V ERY few people don’t know
what a sprig of mistletoe
means at Christmas, thme—espe
cially when there’s a pretty girl
standing beneath it! But few peo
ple realize that this very pleas
ant custom has its root in age-
old superstitions.
The lore of primitive days con
tains many references to mistletoe.
According to an ancient Norse
legend, the sun god was slain by
an arrow fashioned from the
mistletoe plant. He was resurrec
ted by his mother’s tears, which
falling upon the plant, were crys
tallized into pearly berries. Be
cause of this magical healing, it
was ordained that mistletoe should
grow neither on heaven nor earth,
but suspended between. That is
the reason, runs the legend, that
mistletoe is found growing on
trees.
Mistletoe was of special signifi
cance to the Druids, ancient pagan
priests of England, who cut it off
trees with a golden knife used
only for that purpose. They be
lieved it possessed wonderful pow
ers of healing and acted as a pro
tection - from witchcraft. During
the December religious rites, it
was bestowed upon individuals as
a special mark of, honor.
Because of its supposed salutary
properties, mistletoe was often
hung over the doors of primitive
houses as a sign of good-will Be
lief in magic has disappeared, but
this custom still remains. And a
kiss under the mistletoe still has
beneficent effects. Try it and see
for yourself!
T HE “STAR” which signaled
‘the First Quristmas” may be
interpreted in many ways. In all
such interpretations we must -put
ourselves as nearly as possible in
to -the social and psychological
frame of mind of those whom we
try to understand. The astronomer
knows that through the ages the
word “star” has been used to in
dicate almost anny celestial phe
nomenon. We stiU speak ®f “fall
ing stars” or “shooting stars’/
which we know (quite well are not
stars at aU. In mere ancient times
the comet was called a “hairy
star” and was derived from the
Latin word coma, meaning hair.
The planets were the “wandering
stars” as opposed to the “fixed
stars,” and from the Greek word
for wanderer we derive our word
“planets.”
The Star of Bethlehem could
have been any of these. It could
even have been a “new star” or
nova which suddenly burst forth
with a many-thousand-fold in
crease in brilliance, due to some '
great stellar catastrophe. These
are all explanations of what the
“star” could have been. Had it
been any of the above, it would
have been seen by many peoples,
and in literature would have been
found references to the appearance
of the object which attracted at
tention. But nowhere in the litera
ture or in the folklore of any of the
peoples noted as astute observer^
of celestial phenomena do these
references exist.
From this we are forced to con
clude the appearance of the star
was a sight given only to the Wise
Men to see.

Allegorical Parades

True Christmas Spirit
Is Found in Sharing
t'OR a really satisfying and
meaningful Christmas, share
yours with the old and feeble, the
ill and shut-in, the bereaved whose
sorrows you might lighten.
Unfortunately, all the flurry and
preparation associated with Christ
mas are apt to make parents as
well as children overlook Ihe real
significance of the coming birth
day of Christ.
