Book Description
Excerpt from Under the Holly: Christmas-Tide in Song and Story The winter thorn Blossoms at Christmas, mindful of our Lord. Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, This bird of dawning singeth all night long: And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad; The nights are wholesome, - then no planets strike, No fairy takes, no witch hath power to charm, So hallowed and so gracious is the time. It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One! At Christmas play and make good cheer For Christmas comes but once a year.
