The numbers asstgned to John-

And Christmas and its unique
customs came to America from
other nations. Yet America ob-

scale than any of the countries'
where its customs originated

Christmas stocking idea came
from Belgium or France, even

around by everyone was an old

morning. Also from English usage
came carol singing, use of the

Thus writes a reader of this
column after setting out that
petty thieves have been enter-

they never knew that their

Dads, mothers, better keep a

where and how they spend

VISITS IN FOORr WORTH

However happy and good is our

In the early English festival
Christmas was known as “Chris-
tes Messe” which means "Christ's
Mass." At first the festival var-
ied in many places. Some
churches observed it in Decem-
ber, others in January, April
and May. ..
No 'historical record as to the
exact birth of Christ, for which
Christmas is observed, is avail-
able but it seems possible Dec.
25 was established as the fes-
tival day because it marked the
beginning of the great winter
festival when Britons, Germans
' and Gauls made merry in pagan
fashion. Christmas replaced the
old pagan festival and by the
fifth century Dec. 25 became
fairly well established. Later as
the festival spread, differences
in the date occurred due to dif-
ference in calendars but the
general belief was that Christ
was born at midnight Christmas
eve.
Christmas originated in the
festival of the winter solstice
and symbols and customs were
adapted ■ to the new festival in-
celebration of the anniversary
of Christ's nativity. The first
Christmas-day festival was re-
corded in Britain by King Ar-
Uu as beAA
