In Dutch It Is "Kerst-mlss- e ; In Latin, Dies Natalis;" In Italian, "II These natale, and In German, Weinachtsfest. are, of course, based on the Christian celebration of Christmas as the birthday of Christ. We are told that the pagan countries of the world held festivals before the birth of Christ and that as Christianity spread the early church , sought to replace thde pagan festivals with ! festival. The old pagan nations of anChristmas tiquity had a tendency to worship the sun as the giver of light and life. These festivals took place near the winter solstice, the shortest day In the year. This holiday was called Saturnalia by the Romansand "celebrated with great merriment. Among the people of the north great fires were kindled to Odin and Thor and sacrifices of men and cattle were made. The ancient Goths and Saxons called this festival Yule, which Is preserved today In the Scottish word for Christmas. The early Teutons celebrated by decorating giant fir trees as celestial Bun trees. The lights repre--sented the flashes of llghtnlng overhead ; the golden apples, nuts and balls symbolized the sun, the moon and the stars, while animals hung in the branches were as sacrifices. , It is related that Christmas was not among the of the church. The first evidence of the feast, according to church historians, Is from Egypt, And December 25 was not the day celebrated with any uniformity In the early days of the church. The celebration of December 25 spread to most parts of the East In the fourth and fifth centuries. At Rome the Nativity was celebrated December 25 before 354; In the East, at . Constantinople,' not before 879. As Christianity supplanted paganism, many of. the old customs were carried along to be handed down through the ages. We have distinct evidences of Christmas celebration In Merrle old days of Alfred.

And this extended to this country with those Puritans who brought an feeling to New England. By degree of the Roundhead parliament In 1643 and the general court of Massachusetts in 1659, the observance of Christmas was officially banned by England and the New England colonists. But the restoration of English royalty brought about the restoration of Christmas, and in 1681, Massachusetts repealed the law of 1659. And no Christmas has remained through the centuries and is celebrated now through the entire civilized world. Always, but particularly at Advent the Norwegian makes much of hospitality. On Christ-mas day, if you were to call to see him, his first courtesy would be to offer you a pipe of tobacco, and at dinner, which Is usually more pimple than that of other races, national hymns are sung between the courses.
