And why do we have Christmas in December. Many of our holiday traditions are so old that their origins have long been forgotten, but for those who will still like to observe them here are a few ex- planations. Many beliefs surround the candle. Some people put a candle in the window on Christmas Eve to offer warm welcome to Joseph and Mary instead of the refusal they met in Bethlehem. The Scots say the candle in the window lights the Christ Child on His way as He walks the earth that night. Norwegians believe that unless the candle burns continuously throughout the night, the household will be plagued by ill fortune during the coming year. Pope Julius I established De- cember 25 as Christmas in the fourth century. Until then no particular date had been set, and Christians celebrated the Holy Birth on January 6, April 19 or May 20, according to various cus- toms and nationalities. The Christmas wreath actually has nothing to do with Christmas, but isHo remind us of the good works of St. Stephen, whose fes- tival day is December 26. St. Stephen, whose Greek name' means wreath, was appointed by the Twelve Apostles to organize the feeding of the poor. Carolers will recall that it was on The Feast of Stephen that Good King Wencelus looked out, saw a poor man gathering fuel in the snow and showed him the kindliness of the earlier saint. Yule and Christmas weren't always the same. Yule was a winter festival celebrated in England long before the country was Christian. Part of the festival called for the felling of a large tree in the forest and later, the burning of the Yule Log" on the family hearth. There are many other customs that we celebrate around this festive time of the year. These age old customs spring from many lands. e were going to have, imw ati out first carry Victory Dance ta- Ketb.dl season, and during llow tin i u t g' ung to earn the money lor t no J iiiuur Prom, i i ks Three ago the juniors received ti: ir s.unples of class rings.
