Who wrote about it, and what could it have been? There are several can- didates,” said Miles. “There are also many other traditions at this time of year whose origins the public may not know. Where did Santa Claus come from? Why did we start bringing trees into our houses and decorating them? Why do we celebrate Christmas on December 25th? Candles, reindeer and mistletoe will all be discussed.” n Railroad exhibit Reedville Fishermen Museum will host its Northern Neck model rail- road exhibit Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays,through January 9, except Christmas and New Year’s days, and will be open December 27 to 31.
