Nations' Customs
Widely Varied
On Christmas Day
In nearly all of the civilized
world December 25 is a red letter
day. Peoples of all nationalities and
religions celebrate the birth of
Christ. The customs of the many
nations sr? as varied as the peo
ples and their faiths are different.
In the Scandinavian countries, s
Christmas tree made of a sheaf of
wheat bound to a pole, is rslsed for
- •
the winter birds. In Norway, rice
pudding is always an important
item on the menu for the Christmas
dinner. One almond is baked in the
pudding and the person who finds
the almond In his portion is always
the first to get married.
Chinese children make odd stock
ings by sewing three pieces of
muslin together, and hang them up
on Christmas Eve to hold the gifts
brought by Lan Khoong-Khoong,
which means "Nice Old Father" to
them, Santa Claus to us.
The “old-fashioned” American
Christmas, while reflecting the tra
ditions of many countries, most
closely resembles the traditional
English Christmas, complete with
plum pudding, mistletoe, carolers.

A CLOSE CALL with a tornado In 1953 led the Donald L. Anderson
family of Toledo, lowa, to build their own small shelter adjoining
their basement. They estimate that, by doing their own work, they

Santa's little helper came down
to us from Scandanavia.
Many years before Leif Eriksen
touched American shores, the chil
dren of the North believed that a
little elf with long white whiskers
—Jul Tomten—saw that the earth
was abundant with good food and
that the animals and birds were
taken care of.
After the pagan Vikings were
Christianized, little Jul became the
giver vs presents —just as Santa to
day. It became a custom for chil
dren to leave a bowl of porridge on
the kitchen table for the little elf,
who would leave presents in ex
change.
Travelers p.cked up the legend of
Jul Tomten and carried it around
tlie world. To us, he is the busy,
jolly, good little elf who works
happily in Santa’s work'.nop.
'Silent Night' Is
Most Beloved Carol
Of all the songa that return to
oring warmth to the Yuletide sea
son, no carol Is so universally
known as "Silent Night." Certain
ly no other is as loved and sung
is this simple Garman song.
For years Its origin was unknown,
except that it supposedly dated back
tor many centuries. Recent investi
gations, bswever, disclosed that it
was produced in 1818. The poem
was originally written by Joseph
Mohr, an assistant priest in Obern
dorf in South Qermany. The melody
was composed by a schoolmaster;
Franz Gruber.
Both the poet and the composer
were part of the choir that sang
the now famous carol that Christ
mas Eve in the Oberndorf church
The beloved song was sung first
to the accompaniment of a guitar,
for the church organ was out ot
order that Eve in 1818.
It has since been sung to ths
tune of almost every musical to
strument in the ..orld, to the laa
guagas of.many men. ,

Christmas lights are everywhere
To bless the world again!
Haloed candles' golden flames
At every windowpanes
Lamplight streaming cheerily
From welcoming doors flung wides
Firelight soft on little heads
That dream of Santa’s rides
Starshine drifting from the slys
Lights that bob and glow
As dancing lanterns mark the way
The merry caroilers gos
O lovely Christmas lights that make
The world a wondrous place,
Show us the way until we see
The glory of His face!
