The Summerville News. Thursday. Dec. 17, 1964
Coffee Break
How do they celebrate Christmas in Denmark, we asked
the young native of that country who is installing The News
offset press.
Here are some of the things he told me:
“Christmas” is celebrated on Dec. 24 and it’s all over
on Dec. 25. There is much anticipation throughout the day,
with stores being closed and families assembling. Some
time on that day, someone, usually the mother, goes into a
room and. without anyone else seeing, decorates the tree.
No one can go into the room and see it until that evening.
The evening meal on the 24th is the main meal of the
holiday season and usually features roast goose or duck,
cooked red cabbag'', small glazed Irish potatoes and lice
alamande, a sweet containing one almond. Whoever gets
the almond in his serving gets a special gift and it is usually
arranged that one of the children gets it.
After the meal, everyone goes in to see the beautifully
decorated Christmas tree and places his gifts under it.
Santa Claus (called “Julenisse” in'Danish) is usually on
hand to distribute the gifts, which are then opened. He
doesn’t return during the night and there are no surprises
on Christmas morning it all happens on Christmas Eve.
Church services are an important part of the Christ
mas in Denmark, too. The country is 95 per cent Lutheran
and four per cent Catholic.
A highlight of the holiday season in Menlo will be the
golden wedding anniversary tea to be given on Sunday, Dec.
27, for Mr. and Mrs. Herman White.
Mr. White tells us that the late Rev. T. J. Espy was not
only the officiating minister for the wedding ceremony but
was also the person who “wrote up” their wedding for The
Summerville News. The minister’s brother, Oscar J. Espy,
father of the present owner, was editor-publisher at that
time and that connection probably accounted for his
doubling as minister and “society editor.”
The Chattanooga Times recently carried a story about j
Mrs. Howard Helton presenting at 21-pound pyrite crystal
to the Museum of Natural History in Chicago in honor of;
two miners who were killed in the Copper Basin near Cop-1
perhill. Tenn.
It turns out that Mrs. Helton is a sister of Mrs. Robert j
Pursley of Teloga.
The crystal, the size of a small pumpkin, was said by j
Museum officials to be the largest t hey had ever seen or ;
heard of. Pyrite is a common mineral burned in making
sulfuric dioxide and sulfuric acid. The specimen from the I
copper basin was found some months ago and given to Mrs. I
Helton, a collector of minerals and the owner-operator of a j
chain of dress shops as well.
