\ The Lights of Christmas
Christmas is indeed a lovely
time of year. The wreath is on the
door, the holly and mistletoe are
hung, scarlet poinsettias brighten
the house, the tree is trimmed and
the pungent scent of evergreens
pervades the air as friends and
families join in happy celebration.
Lights, candles and torches long
have been important during the
Christmas holiday season, too.
A favorite Christmas symbol in
Sweden is a pretty girl, repre
senting Lucia, wearing a crown of
lighted candles.
In Germany, a light stand — a
pyramid of wooden shelves upon
which are placed small lighted
candles — is a traditional Christ
mas decoration.
A similar stand still is used in
Italy where lighted Christmas
trees have never become really
popular.
Many other countries throughout
the world have their own tradi
tional decorations of lights,
candles or torches which add to
the beauty of the Christmas
scene.
