What children want to know is, where do these Christmas presents come from in the first place? Where does Santa Claus get them? Well the answer to that is, In the garden of the Christmas Monks. This has not been known until very lately; that is, it has not been known till very lately except in the immediate vicinity of the Christmas Monks. There, of course, it has been known for ages. It is rather an out-of-the-way place; and that accounts for our never hearing of it before.

What an interesting take on Xmas gifts. I've never heard of this book. Where did you find it?
ReplyDeleteProbably the most unusual of stories. (The monks grow toys in the garden). I found it online searching for "old Christmas stories."
DeleteA wonderful post about children and Christmas presents. I well remember the magic in my own three kids eyes on Christmas morning. Thank you Sharon. A pleasure to read.
