OLD BELIEF
Gypsies believe that holly, ivy
and pine were made evergreen
in reward for helping screen the
birth of Christ from view.
The gypsies used ash for their
campfires and were told by their
elders that the ash was black
balled from the evergreen list
because it had no part in the hid
ing of the Christ child.
FRIENDS ... Talking dolls,
like the ones seen on TV, will
rank high in popularity this
season. Newest talking dolls
have soft cuddly bodies with
hi-impact, “tuff to-break” plas
tic heads.
Candlemaking Among
Oldest Professions
Candlemaking is one of the
world’s oldest professions. Anton
Will, a German immigrant, was
one of the first candlemakers in
the United States. He made can
dles over a kitchen stove in Syra
cuse, New York, about 1855,
founded a firm which now makes
candles for the Vatican.
Another American firm once
fashioned candles in the likeness
of Lillian Russell and also made
the world’s biggest wax lights, an
18-foot memorial candle lighted
once a year at singer Enrico Caru
so’s tomb in Italy.
Right Start Makes
Tree Decoration Easy
The right approach makes dec
orating the family Christmas tree
fun instead of confusion.
Straighten out your lights along
the floor and remove tdl kinks be
fore you start to trim the tree.
Make certain all bulbs are burn
ing, replace the ones which are
not. Then disconnect the strings
and arrange colored bulbs alter
nately.
String lights around tree, start
ing at the top, placing lights on
inside bows first. When strings
are in position, disconnect them
before banging ornaments.
HOLIDAY FIREWORKS
In the United States, fireworks
are associated with the celebra
tion of the Fourth of July. Our
neighbors to the South use fire
works to celebrate the birthday
of Christ.
In some sections of the Amer
icas, particularly on Christmas
Eve, fireworks are as traditional
as going to church or setting down
to a family feast
KINGLY GIFTS
The gold, frankincense and
myrrh presented to the Christ
Child by the Three Kings were
more than mere signs of wealth.
Each had a special meaning.
The gold was a sign they
accepted Him as their king;
frankincense was given as a
symbol of his deity; and myrrh
as a prophecy of His death.
SAFE HOLIDAY
Christmas is a time to remem
ber the happy things. Yet it is
sometimes a time of tragedy.
More holiday accidents take
place during the last 6 hours
before Christmas Eve than dur
ing the remainder of the holi
day. The hourly rate for fatal
accidents is 5 times greater dur
ing this 6-hour period than dar
ing the rest of the holiday
season.
These accidents happen on
the highways and in the homes.
If you are driving, don’t get in
too big a hurry. If you are at
home, be sure your tree is a safe
one, that your wiring is ade
quate. Turn off the Christmas
tree lights If you leave the
house.
HELPING HANDS . . . Chil
dren are eager to help with the
holiday decorations and the
favorite job of all is helping
make the Christmas tree bright
and colorful.
HURRY, HURRY . . . Some
times kiddies just can’t wait for
the fire to die down. Can’t ex
pect Santa to arrive till then,
can yon? When the fire’s only a
flickering light, one can bet
Santa is near somewhere in the
night.
