WORLD-WIDE, IT’S MERRY CHRISTMASTIME! Yuletide Customs Spread Around Globe

Mistletoe. Santa Claus, letters to Santa. Christmas customs galore — where did they all begin'.* I'he customs of Christmas come from many lands and many eras. They evolve from pagan ceremonies into Christian rituals. And they stretch from West to East, from North to South, as each country contributes something special and traditional to the celebrations of the holiday. When seasonal gaiety rings out in Canada, the merriment is echoed in Mexico. W hen North or South Americans gather for Christmas festivities, the people of Sweden are doing the same — and so are the peoples of Holland and France and Italy and Spain and countless other European countries. In the far East. Christian communities spread the customs of Christmas, which mingle with the year-end ceremonies observed by those of other faiths. That the legend and lore of Christmas knows no boundaries is illustrated in the following round-up of Yuletide customs, based on information provided by the editors of the Encyclopedia International.

In England From the north of England comes the happy custom of the kissing bough. A large hoop, twined with greens, is decorated with apples and candles. And in the center there’s mistletoe—signal for exchanging kisses. In Austria 'Custom of writing letters to Santa Claus may have begun in Austria, where, long ago. it was an Advent tradition for children to write letters containing lists of what they'd like to receive on St. Nicholas' Day. . In Italy From Italy comes a most poetic addition to Christmas lore. For three weeks during the Christmas season, children traditionally go from place to place reciting Christmas poems They expect coins in return, to I)uy holiday goodies. In Sweden An ancient custom that is still observed in some Swedish households today is that of “dipping bread into the pot.” Each person dips a piece of bread into pork and sausage drippings and eats it for good luck. In Holland For St. Nicholas season,-it’s traditional in Holland to make flat cakes called Klassjes. Once exclusively made in the form of the bishop. St. Nicholas. Klassjes now take any form of bird, beast or fish.

In France At Salers in central France, old-time tradition calls for a king and queen to rule over Christmas festivities. Rulers pay for the privilege, since they are "elected ” by bidding at an auction held on the church steps. In Germany A procession which blends pagan and Christmas customs is part of the legend and lore of the holiday in Ruppin, Germany. A rider on a white horse, symbolizing

the horse of the pagan god Wotan, leads the parade. He is followed by Father Christmas, who is decked with ribbons and carries candy and fruit. In Switzerland A Swiss custom that dates back to the Middle Ages is to start the New Year free of debts. December 6th, the feast of St. Nicholas of Myra, the first Santa Claus, is the day set to meet all monetary obligations such as rents and mortgages. I l iny Treasure Hunt The simplest searching game is one in which one person leaves the room while another hides a small object that has been agreed upon beforehand —a small package, some wrapped Christmas candy. When "it" comes back, he hunts for the object and the other person indicates that he is near it by clapping loudly or saying, “You’re warm." When "it” moves away from the object, the other person claps softly or says, "You’re getting cold.”
