Merry Christmas ^tixlB-GJ&m Happy Chanukah 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 <aught honoring the day would be severely punished!'' Parliament had done all this in opposition to King Charles I and his Royalist supporters. In the contest for |x>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.

  • How the Christmas Spider Invented Tinsel There Once Was a Small Family Living in a Small House on the Edge of a Small Town
    How the Christmas Spider Invented Tinsel There once was a small family living in a small house on the edge of a small town. Unfortunately, this year’s holiday was set to be a sombre affair for them. They worked very hard, but bills always seemed to stack up. However, as the shops closed on Christmas Eve, the butchers didn’t want to waste anything and sold Marie the last goose at a bargain price even she could afford. It was a scrawny bird, but more meat than the family had seen in several weeks. She trudged home, fighting the snow the whole way. We may have no decorations or presents, but at least we can eat. When she arrived at her tiny home, she was greeted at the door by excited squeals. “Mummy look what we found!” The twins Amanda and Adam grabbed her hand and pulled her into the living room. A small pine tree propped in a pail leaned against the wall. “Wherever did you find that?” Marie gasped. They jumped and clapped. “No one wanted it. The florist closed up early today and threw it in the alley. It’s a bit wonky but one side is still good.” Adam twisted the pail of sand to show where the branches at the back were all broken. A spider ran down one of the bent limbs and jumped on his arm. He giggled. “Look, we got a Christmas pet, too.” Amanda shuddered. “You can keep that present.” Adam put the spider back in the tree and twisted the pot around so the broken branches were hidden.

  • Christmas Around the World
    Christmas Around the World Christmas in Ethiopia Ethiopia uses the Julian calendar, therefore they celebrate Christmas or Ganna (or Genna) on January 7th. Most Ethiopians do not decorate with trees or lights, nor do they all give gifts. They spend this time eating good food, going to church, spending time with family, and playing games. They dress in a traditional white garment called a netela and some walk to church at 4 AM. Others go to church on Christmas Eve at 6 PM. At church they will receive a candle, walk around the church three times, and stand for over three hours before the men and boys play a popular game also called ganna. https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreakirkby/48297525787 Watch to learn about Click on the book cover for a Learn more about read aloud of The Story of the some Ethiopian Christmas in Ethiopia.

  • Santa's Little Helper
    Santa’s Little Helper I remember when I found out that Santa Claus was a big fat liar. Up until that moment I’d been told that Santa, that old, bearded, suspiciously God-looking figure of a man had brought everybody’s presents and dreams down the chimney at Christmas, eaten a great big plate of cookies, drunk a big jug of milk and probably used the services a few times … in the unluckiest houses. Rocketing round the world at breakneck speed, they said … in a sleigh pulled by magic reindeer, they said … he managed to deliver presents to roughly 2 billion children … all in one short, magical Christmas night. It was, of course, a highly improbable and impractical proposition … I knew all along, even when I was a little boy, that he must have been getting some help. It was 2009, and I was in the Upper Austrian countryside for my first real Austrian Christmas with my girlfriend’s (now wife’s) family. It was all hyper-, über-Austrian, mega- traditional, there was snow … everywhere. Big drifts of it. There was countryside … everywhere. Big rolling fields of it. I met my girlfriend’s grandparents for the first time and couldn’t understand a word of their Upper Austrian Innviertler dialect. I just stood there smiling gormlessly and nodding. But there were Christmas cookies … everywhere. And I rather took a fancy to the ones called Vanillekipferl. I didn’t complain. It was all incredibly lovely. However, upon walking into the family living room, I saw, to my great surprise and disappointment, that the tree was just standing there naked, no tinsel, no baubles, no alcoholic chocolates hanging just a little bit too high so that the little children can’t reach them (no matter how many presents they stand on).

An oral health routine yule love Christmas’ is a time of the year that we traditionally associate with over-indulgence – a period in which patients’ adherence to oral healthcare routines may slip. A festive diet that features sugary dishes, such as Christmas pudding and mince pies, combined with frequent snacking between mealtimes on sweets and chocolates, is a recipe for rampant caries. Now patients no longer have to choose between celebrating the festive season and good oral health thanks to the launch of No-L’s new Yuletide range of dental healthcare products.

Abstract “Tanks and Tinsel: The American Celebration of Christmas during World War II” is an examination of the American celebration of Christmas during World War II. As the first comprehensive investigation into the most well-known holiday in Western culture and its role in shaping Americans’ experience and understanding of the war, it contributes to historical scholarship in three ways. First, it continues the trend of blending analyses of society into military-focused narratives of the war, and it expands the scope of this by fusing the literature of War and Society with that of Holiday History. Second, it challenges traditional views of the home front by highlighting that Christmas helped to solidify the importance of consumption in the American psyche.
