Offerings of bread, meat, and drink were given to a tree placed on the mantle; and the Votjaks believâ€" ed that a new house couldn‘t be built unless a fir was placed under the roof, a cloth spread before the tree, and sacrifices laid out on the cloth. Romans of pre â€" Christian times decorated a tall conifer in celebration of the arrival of winter. And primitive European tribes took fir trees into their homes to please the "tree spirâ€" its" who might then reward them with immortality. wood of the silver fir was used in the ceiling of Solomon‘s Temâ€" ple & engs. separaied 1 can 110 ounces\ condensed Cheddar chrose soun <cup mineed cooked ham 1 can +5 ouncess inushroom suves, drained and fincly slicee, d chonped en linels tablespeone tablespoons garine CHEESY EGGS arera‘ direct oma, chopped criery chopped chives butter or inarâ€" iman FREE In modern Canada, however, the Christmas tree is looked upâ€" on as a symbol of joy and good will to others.

And in â€" medieval Bavaria, poachers ate the seeds of a fir tree before dawn on St. John‘s morn to make themâ€" selves invisible from fawmen. Some people regard it as unâ€" lucky to have an odd number of Christmas lights in the tree, and there are many who believe it is necessary to remove the tree before Twelfth Night or Epiphâ€" any.
