Open House
On Christmas
The practice of holding "open
horse" has been a Christmas tradi
tion through the years.
The Saxon lords threw open the
doors of their great halls to peas
ant and noble alike during the
feasting, songs and the exchange
of gifts. A tremendous Yule log was
dragged upon an open fire pit and
estivitles lasted until the embers
alone remained.
The same custom W3s followed in '
the pre-Civil War South. The slaves '
often soaked a log in the cypress
wamps long before Christmas so
that it would burn slowly, and ex
I tend their Christmas freedom.
"Open House" during the Yule
tide season is a true mark of dem- j
ccracy and a realization that he
who was born on Christmas day j
came to save all men.
