  • Notes & Queries
    NOTES & QUERIES ON THE STATUS OF THE CHRISTMAS CRIB IN THE UNITED STATES Franz H. Mueller No typical American Chrismas crib exists, nor is there an ideal Italian, Austrian, French or .German creche type. America's ethnic pluralism has resulted in a variety of three-dimensional representations of the Nativity, each type reflecting, at least to a degree, the national origins of those who made and used them. A scientifically satis- factory account of the present state of Nativity art in the United States would require a greater expenditure of time, effort and money than this writer can afford. The readers will, therefore, have to content themselves with something of a quasi-geographic survey which offers repre- sentative examples from various parts of this country. We will start our survey in Maine where we find a collector, exhibitor, and distributor of Provencal santons, French-born Helene P. Carter of Topsham. She spends most of her time in the Provence, ferreting out and buying up good-quality santons. She has written an informative article called "What is a Santon?", and distributed it among interested audiences. Mrs. Carter speaks in schools. libraries, and museums on the origins, production tech- nique, and significance of those criche figures. The Criquet Shop, a store in Damariscotte, ME, sells a great variety of imported santons, largely those made by the santonnier (santon-maker) M. Carbonel. The shop's illus- trated catalogue with colored figures of some 122 figurines models, landscapes, etc., is fun to examine. In the New England of the Puritans, the celebration of Christmas uds abhorred as popish and was legally for- bidden.

  • The Local Landscape Architect
    JEFF STAPLETON, THE LOCAL LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT PLANTS FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS With the writing of this column we are fast approaching Christmas…the second holiest day on the Christian calendar when we celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Many of our Christmas traditions stretch back over centuries, even millennia, including our use of plants. So, in honor of the season, this extended holiday column is going to focus on some plants that we commonly find in our Christmas decorations…indoors and out. Now, as with all lists, I will assuredly leave out plants with a rich Christmas tradition of their own. That being said, it’s hard to imagine Christmas without seeing the plants below in some shape or fashion, so let’s get started. Boxwood: “American” boxwood (Buxus sempervirens) first made its way to Virginia soon after British colonization, when “Virginia” encompassed all of North America. It is no wonder boxwood is so prominent during the holiday then, considering its Christmas tradition in the Commonwealth stretches back four centuries. Boxwood has numerous uses for Christmas decorations inside the home and in the landscape. Pyramidal cultivars or clipped topiaries make wonderful live Christmas trees in the garden, and the sturdy foliage of Buxus easily supports small lights. Boxwoods readily supply greenery for fresh Christmas decorations, including garlands and wreaths, but my favorite boxwood decorations for Christmas are kissing balls and table trees. Table trees are, well, small Christmas trees constructed of boxwood clippings. Kissing balls are small spheres formed out of boxwood leaves and typically hung over interior archways or openings.

WEIHNACHTSMARKTE-CHRISTMAS MARKETS market: der Markt, die Markte Christmas market: der Weihnachtsmarkt, die Weihnachtsmarkte Ni.irnberg / Nuremberg Let's go to the Nuremberg Christkindlesmarkt! The festive season is here and Germany's Christmas markets are opening. There are about 2 ,500 - the most famous being the Christkindlesmarkt in Nuremberg. It celebrates the Advent season in tradition and reflection. World famous Every year, Nuremberg's Christmas market attracts over two miJJion visitors from all over the world. The market opens on the Friday before the first Advent on Nuremberg's main market square and can be visited until December 24. Nuremberg delicacies, merry-go-rounds, mulled wine: Everyone gets into the Christmas mood here. The Nurnberg Christkind officially opens the Christmas market on the Friday before Advent starts. And before Christmas she has over 150 'official duties' including visiting hospitals, old people's homes and children's nurseries! She also has to give TV interviews and visit other cities. Other Christmas Customs Of course, there are many other Germanic Christmas contributions. For instance, it is a real treat to wander through Germany's annual Christmas markets - the most famous being Nuremberg's Christkindlesmarkt- to see, taste, and smell all the Christmas goodies, from Lebkuchen (gingerbread) to Stollen (fruit bread). Marzipan, made with almonds and sugar, is also a German treat. And the aroma of GliJhwein ("glow wine") will warm you up even before you actually drink this German version of hot mulled wine. .

  • Dec. 6 and Between 10 A.M
    The Beacon In thy light shall we see light. Psalm 36:9 December 2020 ~ January 15, 2021 Fear Not by the Rev. Abigail Crozier Nestlehutt Every generation has its Christmas movies and television specials, I imagine. Mine took the form of cartoons and stop-motion productions with characters like the Grinch, Charlie Brown, Heat Miser, Albert Mouse, Rudolph, and Frosty. As a child, I used to watch each program with my siblings, sitting through all the commercials for Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and York Peppermint Patties. These simple programs were a highlight of the holiday season. As an adult I bought the DVDs so that I would be prepared when I became a parent. Most of those shows seem dated now, and besides, I can stream all of them on my phone whenever I want. Some of their special allure has faded, but they remain the background soundtrack in my mind this time of year. Each one tells a different story. One is about a green monster who tries to steal Christmas, one has to do with a boy who does not believe, another with a mouse who does not believe. Then there are the misfits who save a foggy Christmas and a snowman made magical by Christmas snow. But also, they all tell the same story. No matter what the obstacles are, despite the disbelief and misbehavior of humanity, nothing can stop Christmas from coming. There is always reason to hope, and love always wins. That is the story a spotlighted Linus tells a dejected Charlie Brown from a darkened school stage using the King James Version of the Bible: And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
