Dec. 26, 2008 - Christmas gifts in Olden Land
It is Christmas time in Olden Land. The fire is cracking and the tree all lite up. And perched beneath the holiday tree is a little girl, no more than 9 years old. Her frock is pink calico and her golden hair done in ringlets. The only thing she is thinking about now, however, is those toys from Saint Nicolas. Shall we see what she got?
1. A doll. No girl should go without one of these.
2. A Sewing bird. This little song-bird makes no music in the morning. Made of brass, he helps semetresses of all ages by attaching to a work table and holding hems or material by the beak while they sew.
3. Oranges. Children usuaslly received small fruits in their stockings
4. Material for a dress
5. A muff. Muffs were soft and acted sort of like gloves or mittens. Very handy for winter.
