Again Christmas and Easter might be kept as a Churchman would, for, despite New Eng- land influence, Christmas was to members of the historic church more important than Thanks- giving. No member of a church household willingly remained away from the special service which, with the Sacrament, gave the day its high- est ^character. The Christmas-eve service was 178 ST. PUMPKIN'S DAY AND CHRISTMAS of interest to many outside the flock. The dress- ing of evergreens and the windows Hghted by rows of... candles made an attraction irresistible to the meeting-house children who were allowed to attend this one church service of the year. If the snow lay deep or the roads were rough, ox-carts and sleds served as conveyances. On a bright Christmas morning when the white blanket of winter was spread over meadow, hill- side, and roadway, an ox-sled guarded at each side by an upright board, and seated with six kitchen chairs, placed two abreast, waited while Jube chose his best whip, and with many direc- tions settled in place the elder and the younger slaves.
