VoL 47 Bowling Green State University. Bowling Green. Ohio. December 14. 1962 " ' No. 23 Editorially Speaking Outlaw Christmas? Nearly 300 years ago in merry Old England, Chrittmai was not so merry. This happiest holiday of the Christian calendar was termed a work of the devil! Liberty magazine paints a vivid picture of this time. "In 1044, Parliament had numbed the populace by forbidding the observ- ance of Christmas in churches. Now it was preparing to rear its head and strike again. And so dawned December. 1647—cold, bitter, miserable—and gloom settled over all England. For the Parliament, a few months before, had decided to do away with Christmas everywhere. "Government print shops had been working overtime making terse announcements. 'Hear ye!' read a placard in London Square. 'Ye Parliament Fathers have this day decreed that the Popish holi- day known as Christmas shall be celebrated no longer. All way< farcrs take heed! "All were forbidden to light candles, burn Yule logs, accept or give gifts, make mince pies or plum puddings, attend services of any kind, decorate homes or do anything gay. No laughter, music, or festivity of any sort was permitted—and Christmas was banned completely. Anyone wcr, Charles finally began to will out and a more moderate religious policy was adopted. In 1672 a Declaration of Indulgence was granted—Catho- lics were granted freedom of private worship and Protestants Were given freedom of public worship. As Liberty magazine sayt "England gradually rediscovered Christmas . . . the people linalls realized that nothing lould really destroy Christmas—ever." We wonder now if this is really Hue. What is tearing away at Christmas in liWi'i? It ij not the government. Christmas is not illegal. It is society and the people themselves who are destroying Christmas as a Holy Day. Christmas l<)(>2 means Santa Clans, his reindeer, the office party, the sorority party, gilts, tinsel, mistletoe, Christmas trees, and commercialism. It'i beautiful. Sometimes it's even inspiring. Hut is it Christian? Christinas cards carry the message ol Santa Clans, not of Christ. The Christmas tree is mine common than the manger scene. Com- mercialists see that Christmas decorations are displayed before Thanksgiving is celebrated. Individuals worry more about what they will get for Christmas than what they can give for Christmas— not just small children anticipate the gifts.
