On December 18, the beginning of this sacred season \ule (iirth or Sanctuary was' proclaimed throughout Scotland, and from that date until Up-lmlie Day no court had power to prosecute or punish even the worst of criminals Christmas time even in that remote period was celebrated as in our day by the giving of gifts.
