In Baltimore there lived a boy,
He wasn't anybody's joy.
Although his name was Jabez Dawes,
His character was full of flaws.
In school he never led his classes,
He hid old ladies' reading glasses,
His mouth was open when he chewed,
And elbows to the table glued.

He stole the milk of hungry kittens,
And walked through doors marked No Admittance.
He said he acted thus because
There wasn't any Santa... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Crystalmaid) http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/588 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 18:00:58 GMT http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/589/t/WHY-THE-EVERGREEN-TREES-NEVER-LOSE-THEIR-LEAVES.html Winter was coming, and the birds had flown far to the south, where the air was warm and they could find berries to eat. One little bird had broken its wing and could not fly with the others. It was alone in the cold world of frost and snow. The forest looked warm, and it made its way to the trees as well as it could, to ask for help.

First it came to a birch tree. "Beautiful birch tree," it said, "my wing is broken, and my friends have flown away.

Now, when the Children of Israel were gone out of Egypt, and had won and made subject to them Jerusalem and all the land lying about, there was in the Kingdom of Ind a tall hill called the Hill of Vaws, or the Hill of Victory. On this hill were stationed sentinels of Ind, who watched day and night against the Children of Israel, and afterward against the Romans.
And if an enemy approached, the keepers of the Hill of Vaws made a great fire to warn the inhabitants of the... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Crystalmaid) http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/590 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:56:32 GMT http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/591/t/THE-CHRISTMAS-THORN-OF-GLASTONBURY-British-.html There is a golden Christmas legend and it relates how Joseph of Arimathea -- that good man and just, who laid our Lord in his own sepulcher, was persecuted by Pontius Pilate, and how he fled from Jerusalem carrying with him the Holy Grail hidden beneath a cloth of samite, mystical and white.

For many moons he wandered, leaning on his staff cut from a white-thorn bush.

As the years flew by he remained unwed, and never so much as cast a glance at the fair maidens of the country round; for this reason people began to call him "Stone-Heart."

It chanced that Count Otto, on one Christmas Eve, ordered that a great hunt should take place in the forest surrounding his castle. He and his guests and his many... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Crystalmaid) http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/592 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:54:51 GMT http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/593/t/THE-THUNDER-OAK-by-William-S-Walsh-Christmas-.html
Thither, under cover of night, heathen priests were wont to bring their victims -- both men and beasts -- and slay them upon the altar of the thunder-god.

Their father was so poor that he could not afford to give them dowries, and as in that land no maid might marry without a dowry, so these three maidens could not wed the youths who loved them.

At last the father became so very poor that he no longer had money with which to buy food or clothes for his daughters, and he was overcome by shame and sorrow.

All its inhabitants were poor, for their fields were barren, and they had little trade; but the poorest of them all were two brothers called Scrub and Spare, who followed the cobbler's craft. Their hut was built of clay and wattles. The door was low and always open, for there was no window. The roof did not entirely keep out the rain and the only thing comfortable was a wide fireplace, for... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Crystalmaid) http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/595 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:45:53 GMT http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/596/t/THE-WOODEN-SHOES-OF-LITTLE-WOLFF-Franois-Coppe.html Once upon a time, -- so long ago that the world has forgotten the date, -- in a city of the North of Europe, -- the name of which is so hard to pronounce that no one remembers it, -- there was a little boy, just seven years old, whose name was Wolff. He was an orphan and lived with his aunt, a hard-hearted, avaricious old woman, who never kissed him but once a year, on New Year's Day; and who sighed with regret every time she gave him a bowlful of soup.

In the sunny land of France there lived many years ago a sweet little maid named Piccola.

Her father had died when she was a baby, and her mother was very poor and had to work hard all day in the fields for a few sous.

Little Piccola had no dolls and toys, and she was often hungry and cold, but she was never sad nor lonely.

What if there were no children for her to play with! What if she did not have fine clothes and beautiful... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Crystalmaid) http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/597 Mon, 10 Dec 2007 17:43:24 GMT http://heartandsoul63126.yuku.com/topic/598/t/Alba-Betts-Christmas-Plant.html by Linda Fortner

Little Alba was brought to me last Christmas by a frail old lady. She told me she could not take care of her baby any longer.

When I was thirteen years old, I started working with my dad at our little family candy company located in Oakland, California. I learned a lot from my dad, as he did everything there was to do in the company. Then in 1960, I went to work for the family business full-time.

Pa never had much compassion for the lazy or those who squandered their means and then never had enough for the necessities. But for those who were genuinely in need, his heart was as big as all outdoors. It was from him that I learned the greatest joy in life comes from giving, not from receiving.
