Yule Marked
By Colorful
Celebrations
Christmas Observed
With Varied Traditions
During 'Days of Yore'
By BARB HECHTT
Feasting, drinking, caroling,
making merry, plus other colorful
traditions, heralded Christmas fes-
tivities of many lands in days of
yore.
Early morning worshippers be-
gan the day with simple and de-
vout prayers in the various
churches of Norway.
After services, friends and rela-
tions gathered for a great feast,
the group sang national songs,
made toasts, and displayed na-
tionalistic feelings by repeating
several times "Gamble Norge,"
which means "Old Norway."
Tea was served early in the eve-
ning when young boys went to dif-
ferent houses to perform for the
people. Dressed in white mantles,
the tallest boy carried a star-shap-
ed lantern while another carried
two wax dolls.
One boy represented the Virgin
Mary sitting in a chair rocking the
cradle in which a doll, represent-
ing the infant Jesus was laying.
The lantern, representing the Star
of the East, was cleverly moved
back and forth to create the il-
lusion of the rocking cradle.
The boys were rewarded with
sweets and money.
Later in the evening, men dress-
ed in military uniforms, decked
with tinsel, sang songs and review-
ed military stories. No one in Nor-'
way, stories say, refused to admit
the performers or sent them away'
empty handed.
"Cleanliness is next to Godli-
ness," is an old expression observed
in Sweden, with all homes thor-
oughly renovated in celebration of
the holidays.
Another custom consisted of ty-
ing a sheaf of corn to a pole plac-
ed near the house for the birds
who had to endure a hard winter.
Each year families participated
in a delicious dinner, after which
masked figures came in bearing
bells and a basket of gifts. All
h o u s e s were illuminated and
crowded with celebrants.
In Italy the festival of devotion
and merriment was a product of
many days preparation. Sumptu-
ous banquets were served on
Christmas Eve.
Blazing Christmas logs and fires
greeted guests. After the feast,
parents drew curtains, revealing a
table filled with gifts, conspicu-
ous among which was an urn, the
urn of fate.
Elders stood behind the table.
while the children, according to
their age, drew lots for different
presents. Many blanks were re-
ceived in jest, but in the end ev-
eryone received something.
These traditions, though many
years old and representative of1
various countries, have common,
messages which serve to commem-
orate the birth of Christ, bring
merriment to all and to begin a
new year with wishes for happi-
ness in the future.t

erary college. She is affiliated with
