Christmas 1923

[“Dr. Guthrie Finds Yule All Pagan. St. Mark’s Rector Says Gift Custom Was Roman, Mistletoe Celtic and Tree Teutonic. Roots of Christmas Gone. In New York an Exotic Plant, He Declares, and Celebrated with Heavy Drinking.” The New York Times, December 26, 1923. Click for a larger view.]

I think it must have been a confusing Christmas at St. Mark’s-in-the-Bouwerie in 1923.

In 2023, Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it.

[Wikipedia explains the Christmas pudding.]
