The name Christmas, used only in English speaking countries, originates from the ' words Christ's Mass. Most Eur- opean countries call the day "Christ's Birthday." Germany and Switzerland celebrate "Holy Night." December 25 is the date set aside in m o s t countries for the celebration of C,hristmas.

This the date when Santa Claus, also named Christkindl, Saint Nicholas, or Shen Koll, makes his annual journey with his sack of gifts for the chil- dren. Christmas trees, holly, mis- tletoe, and Yule logs are trad- itions which have been passed on from generation to genera- tion and their origin is not de- finately known, One legend con- cerning the Christmas tr e e tells of Winfred, an English- man, who went to Germany twelve hundred years ago to teach Christianity. He found a group of worshippers about to sacrifice a young prince at the base of a 1afge oak tree. Win- fred stopped the sacrifice, cut down the oak tree, and a small fir tree sprang up.
