Legend of the
Christinas Tree
Most explanations concerning
the origin of the Christmas tree
are legendary. In Pre-Christian
times the evergreen was wor
shipped. used as a symbol of im
mortality and was thought to
have various magical properties.
This has complicated the problem
of historical accuracy. Aside from
the specific idea of the Christmas
tree, evergreen decorations in the
home have been popular among
many central European people
from Pre-Christian times.
The Christmas tree as we think
of it today originated rather late
and stems from Christian, rather
than pagan, tradition.
Each country adopting the
Christmas tree added its own
ornament ideas. Each addition in
volved some legendary or actual
idea symbolizing man’s homage
to the newborn King. Some ideas
originated in superstition but
were not intended as such, but
rather as a symbol of the idea
that the coming of the Christ
Child meant an end to the dark
ness of pre-Christian beliefs.
THE PURPOSE OF A
GRANDFATHER IS TO SEE
THAT AMONG ALL THE ED
UCATIONAL TOYS, THE
CHILD GETS ONE PRESENT
THAT’S FUN!
GIFT-GIVING VARIES
In most European coun
tries. families give presents
either on St. Nicholas’ Day,
December 6, or on Christ
mas Eve, or at Epiphany —
January 6. Only the English
and Americans customarily
choose Christmas Day itself
for gift-giving.
In the spirit of an old-fashioned Christmas
we extend best wishes to all. We hope you
and your loved ones share in the many
old-time joys and blessings of the season.
