Second cla poitM P'd t -- yr MURRAY, pretty character not to be affected by at least some phase of the Yuletide season. Perhaps it's the carols, old and new. Or the smiles which seem more frequent at this time of year than at any other. Maybe it's the myriad lights, blinking and shimmering at whether you you're shopp- downtown ing or driving through a res- idential area. It may be the look of wonderment on the face of a small child entranc- ed by the jolly man in the red suit: still V young enough that he's not questioned the truth of this albeit impractical, lovely, myth. It may be the religious . aspect that impresses you, as it should everyone. Christians are annually awed by the story of the child born in a Bethlehem manger be cause there was no room at the inn. It may be the expectancy of a gift. Or, in keeping with Christ's admonition, the an ticipation of giving something you know they've wanted to who near is someone and dear to you. . There are so many aspects of Christmas it's almost impossible for ed even the most to resist its flint-heart- charms. Netherlands exchange gifts 19 days earlier, on St. Nicholas' That's where 'Saint Day.. came from. Nick He's dressed in the rich robes of a bishop, collects cookies and candy left in wooden shoes by the children, replacing it with gifts. The 25th of December in these lands is a purely religious holiday. Italians distribute gifts from a large crock called 'The Urn of Fate on Christmas Day. But on the eve of Epiphany, Jan. 6, fairy queen, known as La down the Befana, comes chimney with gifts for the children. In France it's Le Petit Noel (the Christ child); in Norway it all begins with St. Thomas' Day; in Sweden with St. Lucia's Day and other lands have their legendary ' '" too." " gift-give- rs, Most traditions of the Yuletide season can be traced to some religious symbolism. Martin Luther Is credited with first using a lighted Christmas tree to represent the glory and beauty of the stars above Bethlehem on the night of Christ's birth. The Christmas star Itself mirrors the Biblical journey of the Three Wise Men followheaving a brightly-lighte- d enly body. On the other hand, the Yule Log came from the Norse, who burned huge logs to honor Thor, the god of thunder. And ancient Celtic priests gave sprigs of mistletoe to people as a charm, certainly without religious significance. The Consider the Yuletide songs which have maintained popularity down through the ages. And 'ages is the most apt description of time. Adeste Fideles, for example, dates to the early 1700s when John Reading composed the familiar Latin which Frederick Oakeley translated to Oh Come, All Ye Faithful. Of the same vintage is Hark! The Herald Angels Sing", written by Charles Wesley in 1739 and adapted to the Felix Mendelssohn music, Festgesang". No less aged Is the familiar Joy To The World, penned in the 1700s by Lowell Mason, who adapted it to the music of Handel's 'Messiah. The 1800s brought 'Silent Night, written by Joseph Mohr, an Austrian pastor. Ills organist, Franz Cruber, composed the tune. Plus Edmund Sears' 'It Came Upon the Midnight Clear and Phillips Brooks' 'O Little Town of Bethlehem." But for longevity none rival and English old French carols, one of the best known of which is 'Cod Itest Ye Merry, Gohtlemen, dating back to the 1500s.
