CHRISTMAS 2,000 Years Before Christ - Clayton D Steep - December 1985

Clayton D Steep

How did customs, celebrated long before the birth of Jesus, come to be called "Christmas"? It was that festive season again. The little children were filled with anticipation and excitement. The whole family was busy putting up decorations. Boughs of holly and evergreen were assembled and placed about the house. The mistletoe was hung. A tree was chosen and decorated with sparkling trinkets and ornaments. It was a season of giving and receiving presents, a time to sing songs, admire all the pretty lights and burn the Yule log. There were to be parades with special floats , sumptuous meals and merrymaking. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
