Groves of oak trees were chosen by the Urbirds as their places of retreat, and this tree came to be considered one of the most beautiful things anything which grew on the oak was counted as a gift from heaven. Mistletoe was consequently

The juice of the mistletoe was used by the Druids in cures for certain diseases, and in performances of magic.
Later when the English made their trips into the woods to find a suitable yule log each year, they often ran across millettos creeping on the trees. Considering the ancient sentiment attached to the shrub, they thought it fitting for use as a Christmas decoration. They had been wearing it every year though the sentiment attached to it has been generally forgotten.

Our Christmas
Sparkling lights and gleaming tinsel, crisp frosty air and chanted carols will greet us tonight. Beauty is ours, delight is ours. Happiness is ours—it is our Christmas.
But our Christmas tree tonight must be still more than that. It must be more than just a spectacle of beauty for ourselves. It must be more than just the ephemeral glistening of a passing moment.
To sense the truest form of beauty and the truest beauty of Christmas, we must give and give bouncefully, as well as receive. Tonight we will have an opportunity to do both and do them well.
Come, fellow students! Let us join in the hearty spirit of Christmas at the Christmas tree tonight. That spirit which is born of sacrifice and self-denial, of altruism and love for our fellow men.
