' Christmas in Bermuda'
CHRISTMAS in the Still
Vex'd Bennoothes' is to be the subject of Miss Abbott's talk this evening. The festival is so traditionally bound up in our European minds with snow and cold that it is almost impossible to visualize a tropical setting for the Christmas legends and rituals. But in the Bermudas, those coral islands of the Atlantic, whose shores are fringed with mangrove, where oranges and lemons grow wild, and where the mean annual temperature is 70 degrees, Christmas is very far from being only a name -even among the considerable coloured population.
