A Catch By The Hearth
Sing we all merrily
Christmas is here,
The day that we love best
Of the days in the year.
Bring forth the holly,
The box, and the bay,
Deck out our cottage
For glad Christmas-day.
Sing we all merrily
Draw around the fire,
Sister and brother,
Grandsire, and sire.
--Traditional from England
Christmas waves a magic wand over the world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
Norman Vincent Peale
Electric Christmas tree lights were first used in 1895. The idea for using electric Christmas lights came from an American, Ralph E. Morris. The new lights proved safer than the traditional candles.
