Making Christmas Come True
by H. Spencer Lewis, F.R.C.

Whether or not we are Christians in no way affects our appreciation of the spirit of Christmas. Of course, a month before the Christmas holiday is the popular Thanksgiving holiday in the United States, and immediately after Christmas falls the New Year holiday which is very widely recognized and celebrated in most countries of the West- ern world. Therefore, between November 25 and January 2 our lives, our social affairs, business and personal interests, and other matters are greatly affected by the almost universal spirit of celebration, goodwill, and human joyousness.
Whether we can enter into the Christian spirit of accepting the twenty-fifth day of December as the birthday of Jesus the Christ, or not, the fact remains that Jews and Gentiles and many others of other religions accept this day as a time of goodwill to all beings. December 25, as we have stated before in this department of the magazine, was a time for goodwill, the giving of gifts, and the bringing of joy into the human consciousness long before Jesus the Christ was born.
Among the many festive days of the pagans and among the many holidays of those religious and non-religious peoples who preceded the Christian era, December 25 was the most outstanding and most important of all. There are many things which indicate that, when the great fathers of the Christian church were perplexed at deciding upon the precise date of the birth of Jesus the Christ, they were influenced by the fact that December 25 had always been a holiday typical of the Christian spirit and would, therefore, be most appropriate.
The spirit of that ancient holiday is reflected in every feature of our present day Christmas time.

Doors open at 7:00 pm.
