The Ju-jits- Christmas Trees Christmas Holly Makes Tasty Tea Holly is useful for something tt be- sides Christmas wreaths. Yaupon, a shrub which grows profusely In certain sections of North Carolina, can be crewed into tea and is actually on the menu of one Carolinian hotel. of Its an old story to the region. Theyve been drinking Yaupon tea for centuries and swear that it has all kinds of good qualities. The Indians before them used it, and John Lawson, an early historian, said the shrub was so highly valued that it was carried into the inland where it fetched a fabulous price from Indian tribes. Actually, Yaupon is an American holly, but is closely akin to Mate, the .drink so popular in South Both drinks are preAmerica. pared much the same way. The leaves are cured with hot stones in a barrel and then chopped up, twigs included, and dried out in an oven. Leaves and twigs are then steeped in hot water and syrup, orange Juice, lemon juice and cinnamon are added. So at Christmas, instead of throwing away that dried up wreath, try brewing it up into a pot of tea. Serbians Glorify Abundant Harvest The Serbian strews his table with hay or straw at Christmas time and he is likely to eat roasted suckdinner. ling pig for Christmas Weather permitting, a fire is built outdoors on Christmas morning and the pig roasted over it on a spit. The Serbians, as well as the Croats, have several Christmas customs in common. Both plant wheat on a plate on December 10th. By Christmas day there is a miniature field of wheat which serves as a decoration, usually placed on a window sill. Before sunrise on Christmas morning, the men of the family go into a nearby forest to fell a young oak tree. It is selected with great care and traditional rites must be observed in cutting it down. It must fall toward the East at the moment of sunrise. It is brought home in state and lighted candles are held on each side of the door through which it is carried. Corn and wine are sprinkled on this Yule log while wishes for an abundant harvest for the next summer are' expressed. As soon as the log is placed In the fire and is burning brightly, a neighbor, chosen beforehand for the ceremony, enters the house to bring Christmas blessings. He pours a little wine on the log and places a coin on it, a symbol of prosperity for the coming year. Biblical Stables Were Hewn Caves The "stable in which Christ was born does not conform to the modern conception of the word. In Biblical times, places of shelter were hewn in rocky ledges; Judean travelers, frequently housed in such caves, welcomed joint tenancy with beasts because of the extra warmth provided by the ani- mals bodies. The birthplace of Jesus was such a cave. Now a grotto beneath Bethlehems Church of Nativity, the en- tire surface ornamented. has been elaborately Yule Log Fires Prevented Evil Centuries ago huge firss were built in the great baronial balls in England on Christmas eve and the servants brought in a log that was to burn throughout Christmas. It was customary to save a brand from each year's fire to light the next one with. If the log was properly burned it was believed that the devil was powerless to do any mischief to the household. f n i The Christmas tree is almost a universal symboL It is common in many countries and its decorations mirror the cultural traditions and customs of the world. The Japanese, who adopted American have also baseball, adopted the Christmas tree. They have given it an oriental appearance by decorating its branches with Japanese dolls, woodcuts, small tangerines and rice cookies called sembei that hold paper slips of fortunes.' In Germany, where the Christmas tree originated, chains and baskets made by hand from ordinary newspapers when nothing else is available are hung on the tree. Candles have been used for illumination ever singe the time of Martin Luther, when the custom of decorating trees at Christmas first began. The French Christmas tree is loaded with glittering ornaments and sugar-ball- s hang from its branches. In Italy, the crib is the traditional symbol of Christmas and is carefully arranged beneath every Italian tree. This custom dates back to 1223 when St. Francis of Assisi arranged the first crib at Grecio, Italy, using a simple manger with a doll to represent the Christ Child and adding live animals for realism. Czechs decorate their trees with clusters of gilded nuts, apples, and cookies made to resemble animal figures, peasant girls, stars and village huts.
