It is still a custom in rural regions, for children to set out porridge and beer on Christmas Eve to please the Nisse. He is merging, however, with the popular figure of Santa Claus. "• . . In Britain the character known as "Father Christmas" is supposed to be a Christian version of this ancient spirit of the fields. The Dutch Sinter Klass- or"St. Nicholas is still recognizable as-the good' bishop of Myra in Dutch plays, but he too is being absorbed in the more popular version, of Santa Claus, the fat, red-coated little man with th ebig bag of .presents. This idea of Santa Claus is a south Ger- man interpretation. In other parts of Germany the dispenser of gifts is "Dame Bertha." The custom of hanging up stiekings comes from Italy. ' .. . . . Switzerland has developed the custom of parading from house to house and singing carols in a picturesque way. Costumes are, remark- able. Young men and women wear headdresses representing houses, ships, mountains, and: so forth. Huge sleigh bells tinkle from waists, and shoulders. These Swiss carolers also .have a peculiar dance used, oniy on Christmas Eve. In Switzerland, as in other southern European countries, the gifts are brought to good children, not by Santa Claus, but by the Christ Child, who -comes from the North Pole in a fairy sleigh. In many German/villages an old man with a small drum marches- about the house after the Christmas dinner, leading a procession. His drum is to frighten away any witches who might have come into the house during the year. He. finally reaches the last room where the Christmas tree stands, laden with presents. . ' '-." Mexican Christmas Mexican Christmas Eve is a pretty combination of the religious and the fe?tive observance. There is a dance in every village until midnights At the stroke of twelve the musicians play a mystical: sacred melody, and everyone converges in front of the "nacimiento," or crib repre- senta. Then the oldest woman present picks up the image of the Christ Child and marches slowly to the church, followed by all the villagers. They enter the church for the midnight mass. When this is over, the dancing and revelry, complete with fireworks, recommences, and lasts until dawn. . ; Members of the Orthodox Greek Church, who cling to the old style calendar, celebrate Christ's birthday on January G. Many people in Greece, Serbia, Romania and other Balkan states, as well as many Russians, belong to the Orthodox Church. Their Christmas feast tradi- tionally begins with a bowl of "kutya," which is a combination of wheat, honey, ground poppy seed and pecans. Mushroom soup, fruit, fish and nuts are also served. A small layer of hay is spread under the table- cloth to show humility for Christ's birth in a stable. Polish people also follov this last custom. • . ~ • . So every country and every district often has its own special-ways of keeping Christinas. The United States, beiijg composed of people- from everywhere, has received customs from very people, and • has adopted those it liked ,and altered them to fit the American style. So it has been with Santa' Glaus, the Christmas tree, holly and mistletoe, the Christmas plays and carols, the luscious menus—everything has been gladly taken over, with thanks to many nations and peoples that have bequeathed them to us.
