Decorate the Tree ... Make the Plum Pudding
... Create the Magic! |

|
The traditional Christmas came about with Charles Dickens; an old-fashioned Christmas is just as much alive as Tiny Tim and the patient Bob Cratchit, as Scrooge's cheery nephew and poor old Scrooge himself. The Christmas punch-bowl smells and tastes every bit as good as it did when Mr. Pickwick brewed it; if your heart is in the right place, the Christmas bells ring out just as merrily as they did for young Queen Victorian and her children. |
