Pixie People:
Christmas night is very, very near, the night of peace and blessing when, as an old verse says, No spirit can walk abroad; The nights are wholesome; then no planets strike, No fairy takes, no ivilch hath power to charm. There is a charming legend that as midnight strikes the cattle in shed and field fall on their knees in worship of the newborn King, ever since the Christmas Star led three Wise Men to a manger in Bethlehem. . To every member of our Fairy Ring from the smallest folk to those who, though counted grown-ups, have still kept a place m their hearts for make-believe, 1 send the old, old wish,
A Merry Christmas! . .■ Most Christmas gifts are chosen now, 1 suppose. Perhaps you have made them with your own clever fingers and tested your thinking caps to the utmost to find a .secret place to store parcels until exactly the right moment. ' And I hope you do not know everything that will be found in your Christmas stockings for surprises are one of the jolliest things about Christmas. May you have the happiest, merriest time you have ever enjoyed. Love from "Letterbox Elf" and myself.
