for Christmas

Indoors, outdoors, all
around the house—Christmas
is the season for-decorating,
and what a wealth of decora-
tions there are!

The tree seems to be just
the beginning. Its ornaments
and lights become continually
more varied and delightful.

Wreaths and greens, plants
and bouquets, table center-
pieces and wintlow adorn-
ments appear in the home.

Outdoors, decorations
range from a string of lights
and a wreath on the door to
manger scenes to such crea-
tions as Santa, sleigh and
reindeer up on theroof- top.

Some of the yard and roof
embellishments are real
works of art—no wonder com-
munities give prizes for out-
door decorating and lighting.

A diversity of designs for
decorating are ready-made,
offering welcome helpduring
the bustling holiday season.

Still, it’s fun'to use personal
ingenuity and creativity in
making unusual Yule decora-
tions, suggest the editors of

the Grolier Universal Ency- |,

clopedia. ;
One thought might appeal

to bird-lovers: Placeawreath, -

ready- or hand-made, outside
a window. ‘“‘Decorate”’ it with

~ foods tasty to birds, such as

peanuts, popcorn, cranberries
and bits of suet:

Simple, personal touches —

make a difference. For in-
stance, greens, ribbons and
glittering balls can be attrac-
tively. arranged on a table or
shelf. :

Just putting: some colorful
ornaments and pine cones in

a big glass bowl brightens

things up. :
Set the kids to stringing

cranberries and popcorn in .

the good old-fashioned way.

It’s surprising how pleasingly
they blend with the modern
marvels of tree ornaments.
_ Every area of the home de-
serves some holiday accents. .
How about fastening candy
canes to a broad, bright rib-
bon and draping it around
the kitchen bulletin board?

For the more ambitious,
there’s the kissing bunch, an
old English tradition.

An easy way to make oneis
to buy a ball of plastic foam.
Greens—red-berried holly for
color, mistletoe for kissing—
can be inserted in the foam
ball. ‘Then a gala red bow and
length of ribbon to hang it
by are all that’s needed.

Too late for this. season?
Much of the joy of Christmas
is planning for the next one.

IT’S TOO COMMON

In most of the United
States, the. poinsettia: is a
prized Christmas. flower, In
Hawaii, however, it grows so
profusely that it is consid-
ered too common for such an
important holiday. Potted or-
chids,. anthurium: or the or-
ange-and-blue flower called
“bird of. paradise” are Ha-
waiian holiday favorites.

IT’S LEGAL
Alabama was the first: U.S.
state to make Christmas a

legal holiday, in 1836.

And Lore

Twinkling on trees, glow-
ing from windows, glittering
everywhere, Christmas lights
reflect, today, the candles of
an earlier time.

Acandle in the windowcan
light the Christ Child on his
way, says Irish legend.

Nativity scenes in homes
and churches depict the ani-
mals of the Manger—and on
Christmas Eve, the cattle, the
sheep and all the animalspre-
sent at the Nativity are given
the gift of speech. .

. So says the lore of Christ-.

mas... : :
Blossoming on the holiday

' The legend and lore

Christmas expresses the sim-_

ple faith that lies at the heart

of this happy, holy time.
Some of the most delightful

of legends are told in carols.

From France comes the
‘Carol of -the’ Birds.’’ Its
words recount how the birds
flew to Bethlehem to behold
the’ Christ Child..Each bird,
as it flew, sang a special song

of praise and rejoicing.

There’s a “Carol of the

Flowers,” too. Summoned to
the presence of the newborn
King, ‘every. flower blossom-
ed, and each blossom was a
symbol of the Little One’s
virtues.” * z :
-» Seafaring peoples, in their
own way, ‘related nature’s
wonders to the miracle of the
Nativity, through carols.

"YT Saw Three Ships Come
Sailing” tells of ships cross-
ing the ‘sea on Christmas
morn, bearing Jesus, Mary
and Joseph. :

Classics Provide
Yuletide Melodies

In this century, hymns and
carols of the Nativity have
been.composed by ‘Peter War-
lock. (‘Bethlehem Down’’)
and Gustav Holst :(‘‘Mid-Win-
ter’?)—among others.

Often, hymns. and. carols
have been set to the music
of classic composers.

One example is, ‘While
Shepherds. Watched _ Their.
Flocks by: Night,” by Nahum
Tate. Music ‘for this came
from Handel’s opera, ‘‘Siroe,”’
as adapted by Richard Storrs
Willis. - E

uge TreelIs
Symbol of Man -

_ A French ‘story of the 13th
century relates how a huge
tree was discovered in a for-

est, its. branches lit with

candles. :

Some branches rosestraight
up, while others were turned
down. Atop the tree’ was a
child, with a halo around his
head. » ine

The story. explains that the

_ tree. is. mankind. Its candles |

represent pepple good or bad,

and the child is the Christ
Child.
