CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.

"The custom of making presents on Christmas eve is derived from an old heathen usage, practiced among the Northern nations at the feast of the birth of Sol, on the 25th of December, to which it succeeded, and retained the name of Yule or Inul, i. e., the 'wheel,' or revolution of the sun."—Religious Cyclopedia.
