Christmas in the
West in the1850s The famous landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted was visiting far from home, in Texas during the Christmas season in the early 1850 s. Evidently his preconceived impressions of the wild West bore out. In his diary he noted that from his hotel window he could see the Christmas Eve celebration in San Augustine was noisy and boisterous. The town only had about 50 houses and 12 shops, but its citizens gathered ; into>a band of- sorenaders ■ who went about the small village beating on tin pans and being very boisterous. This was in sharp contrast to Olmsted’s New England upbringing. Throughout Texas and the West, Christmas Day was often spent in wild turkey shoots, followed by a tremendous feast with the bird as featured fare.
IRISH LEGEND.
IVY AND THE
WINE GOD The term “Bacchanalian revelry” often applies to holiday celebrations. Ivy is intertwined in the history of Bacchus, for ivy was the Wine God’s crown. Legend tells how it was introduced into Ireland. When Bacchus was traveling through the western lands he visited Ireland, and fell in love with its lush green, charm and beauty. When the time came for him to leave the country, he decided to plant the ivy as a living souvenir of his affection for the Emerald Isle.
