Description

People, when happy, express themselves in many ways. Traditions, customs, and symbols of Christmas have come to America from almost as many lands as we have peoples, brought here by our forefathers and observed, with only slight modification, down through the years. Traditions are the unwritten stories, beliefs, and activities that are handed down from generation to generation, customs so long continued that they almost become the force of law. Symbols are objects (animate or inanimate) that represent emblems, figures, or understanding such as a creed or belief. The symbols are used to express traditions.
