John fl Keyes of Commonwealth Ave Concord Junction invites readers to choose gifts that will bring happiness to others this season. The note emphasizes sharing and choosing items that give pleasure to recipients.
A 1910 tale tells Reginald Graham and Miss Alice Winchester dolls planning a grand Christmas wedding. Grandmas sew miniature outfits, wedding cake decorates the scene, and guests from Mother Goose Land attend before a dollhouse honeymoon. The piece blends whimsy with holiday nostalgia as toys come to life in a Pittsburgh Dispatch context.
A poetic piece celebrates Old Christmas with scenes of feasting and festivity. It recalls bells on Christmas Eve, church rites, doors opening to all classes, wassail bowls, boar’s head, plum porridge, and merrymaking led by maskers and carols in a traditional Scots and English festive mood.
Maud E. Sargent discusses the Christmas St Stephen's day practice of carrying the wren bush, noting a likely link to Druids and pagan rites. The piece cites legends about St Patrick and the Druids, and mentions Trinity College Dublin as a source describing how to interpret a wren’s twitterings.
Concord town items note social dances at the armory on December 30 and at the town hall on December 28 as well as Christmas vacation plans for Middlesex School pupils and public school reopenings. Local residents return for holidays and travels, club events, a reunion and performances, church services and Harvard Musical clubs concert in town hall amid strong home shopping.
The Meffe Parish club hosted 60 members and friends for a Friday supper in the church dining room at 6 30. Principal James EB Downey of the Boston High School of Commerce delivered a lecture on The School and the Community. The serving committee included Robert Bygraves and Mrs. Herbert Blanchard among others.
