New Year Open House
Introduced by Dutch
The custom of making short calls
on New Year’s Day was in full
swing in the United States around
the turn of the century.
Newspapers carried columns of
“at home" notices specifying the
hours during which visitors would
be received. Hosts and hostesses,
having duly received, closed their
open house to become guests at
somebody else’s.
“Open House” on New Year’s j
Day was introduced into America
by the Dutch who settled in New ■
Amsterdam. Friends were accus- I
tomed to dropping in to offer the
compliments of the day and re
freshments centered around home
made snacks, plus the host’s fa- |
vorite concoction of punch.
The custom grew with the coun- j
try, finally attaining the newspaper
announcement stage, with its even- j
tual time-table and scurrying from j
one “open house” to another. It |
was inevitable that some guests, j
after a succession of nine or ten !
punch bowls, sometimes embar
rassed their tenth or eleventh
hostess; and receptions sometimes j
were "crashed” by total strangers |

Celebrating
New Year's Is
Centuries Old
Man has welcomed the New Year
in a giddy fashion for centuries.
It has been observed on various
dates in different times and places
but the manner of celebration has
been virtually the same from the
times of the Romans. And in
America, the merry-making spirit
has been a strong one since th®
colonial days.
“Lewd Orgies” is the way writ*;
ers have described the early festi-'
vals of the Romans. The celebra
tions were noted for the amount
of food and drink consumed.
In colonial days in America it
was the custom of younger peopl®
to visit taverns and friends to
drink their health and toast the
coming of the New Year. Some of
i the parties became small riots. j
The custom of celebrating has'
| grown so much that today the av
erage American feels lost unless
[ he has plans to “go somewhere”
; and “do something” on New Year’*
eve. i
In France and Germany, the holWj
i day is marked by festivities re
sembling those of this country. Be
fore World War II, Paris and Ber-i
Jin assumed a carnival atmosphere.
Much of that spirit is returning as
these countries recover from the
economic and physical damage
caused by the war.

SECURITY FOR ’53 . . . The new year chews upon his social se
curity card and ponders upon what his future will hold for the
next 365 days. Anyway, he knows he will be ready to retire next
December 31, and he plans to draw his old age pension and let
another year do all the work after that.
Legends concerning New Year's are as numerous as there are coun
tries in the world. Many of them are similar in many details. One of the
most beautiful is an ancient Swiss legend.
It is believed, according to this legend, that the Holy Family is
abroad during the hour of midnight mass on Christmas Eve.
Therefore, a bowl of fresh milk is placed upon the dining table and
each member of the household carefully lays his spoon upon the table
cloth.
Then, upon returning from church, the person who finds his spoor
has been moved may anticipate special blessings during the coming
year; for surely Mary and Joseph have rested within the abode during
their flight into Egypt and the Virgin used that spoon to feed the infan'
Jesus.
