County Agricultural Agent reflects on diverse Christmas celebrations across cultures and seasons. He notes stable symbols like the Star of Bethlehem and sheep herds, contrasts Chilean summer with winter traditions, recalls Antarctic cards, and questions common images such as reindeer and chimneys. He shares family anecdotes about warming cows water and postwar Vienna carol singing, urging remembrance of the Prince of Peace.
