It's little wonder that Saint Nick
is especially generous to the Am-.
crican people. History proves that
the Americans have done a lot
for Saint Nick!
They have given him a new ,
'name, a new lace and figure, and:
|; new means of transportation.
| The original European, version j
■ of Saint Nick pictured him as a j
(all angular man who rode on a
| i.ony gray mare. Both the horse I
and Saint Nick looked as if they j
hadn't had a good meal in some j
lime.
Tl;c early English settlers in this
[ country started giving Saint Nick- j,
joins his “New Look.” The English i,
I children adopted the legendary i.
j Christmas ft tire from the Dutch,
1. at the English children had trou- (
jtie pronouncing "Saint Nickolous."
Somehow the name changed to I (
“Santa Kaiouf," and finally it was | (
corrupted to “Santa Claus." I (
J However, this was only the .be
ginning. In 1809 Washington Irv
ing in his “Knickerbocker’s History
of New York," wrote of tho Saint
as the gur rdian of New Yqrk City.
Irving described Saint Nick as a
jolly fellow with a broad-brimmed
hat and huge breeches. He taught
Saint Nick to smoke a long pipe,
and, in the story, replaced his
shuffling hay-burner with a trim
wagon.
A short time later, Saint Nich
olas; transportation was aided by
Clement Moore in his famous
pcem, ' The Vbi from Saint Nich
olas' vMtten in 1082. Moore,
a pioiesssor of divinity in a New
York theological seminary, gave
Saint Nick a sieigh, twinkling eyes,
cheeks like roses, nose like a cher
ry, and a round little belly.

Tree Decoration
Has Ancient Source
in Arabian Legnd
When you fasten the ornaments
to your Christmas tree this year
you will be commemorating a
centuries-old Arabian legend that
relates how plant* blossomed and
flowered and tree- miraculously
Lore ripened fruit on the eve of
the first Christmas.
In fact, tile Christmas tree it
self stems from the story of a
Scandinavian “sacred” tree and
Martin Luther, a Geiman, is said
to have brought the first one in
doors and decorated it for the Yule
season in the early lGth century.
These are only two of more than
a score of legends from which to
day’s Christmas symbols and cus
toms stem. According to Jeanette
Lee, who has probed their origin
for nearly a dozen years, the Am
erican Christmas symbols — from
Candles and bells to kissing under
the mistletoe—have no common
nationality. They have come from
all parts of the world.
Mrs. Lee, who is supervisor of
creative art for a greeting card
company, constantly utilizes the
tiaditions and emblems of the fes
tival as ornaments for Christmas
cards and is just as constantly
searching for new ones. This year
for example, the bright-colored
tree ornaments are in high vogue
as decorative devices on Christmas
cards.
cry from the lean, ascetic, somber
ly dressed fellow who, for centuries,
on Christmas Eve, guided his mare
through the streets of Europe.
In nearly all of the civilized
world December 25 is a red letter
day. Peoples of all nationalities and
rcli don' celebrate the birth of
Cirri' t. The customs of the many
illations are as varied as the peo
ples and their faiths are different.
In the Scandinavian countries, a
’ Christina: tree made of a sheaf of
wheat bound to a pole, is raised for
I the winter birds. In Norway, rice
1 adding is always an important
item on the menu for the Christ
mas dinner. One almond is baked
in the pudding and the person who
* fin:!:, the almond in his portion is
always the first to get married.
Ce at a children make odd stock
ings by sewing three pieces of'rnus
! lin together, and hang them up on
Chiitma . Eve to hold the gifts
brought, by Lan IChoong-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 witli
pium pudding, rdetletoe, carolers. >

On a December day in 1840, a

London home nddressin- to h’.=

first Christinas cards ever .inted.
The cards depicted a Vie; .. an
family assembled at- the te tive
beard end the traditional Chr mas
customs of giving to the cor. They
also bore the "now-classic '.'acting:
“A Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year to you."
Ccle, in a historic mow two'
months before had chimin mod
John Calcott Horsley, a Re .: Ac
