A time of family. A time of magic. A time of giving. A time to Believe.
Travel back to a time in early 20th century rural living and experience the magic of a journey that leads to a giving heart and a passing of tradition. Reviewers have complimented this likeness as to The Night Before Christmas and The Gift of the Magi.
An endearing story takes place in the year 1900 of a young papa and his growing family, living deep in the woods in a log cabin. A snowstorm has struck making a journey into the white woods a necessity, a campfire with a Jolly Ole Soul, magical berry trees, an extraordinary reindeer flight, a miracle birth in icicle light and the gift of giving.
This enchanting Yuletide tale is a time piece; a reminder of the human spirit of family, friendship and kindness.
“The time has come, bow your head and remove your hat”, said the jolly gentle man. “I knight thee with a wreath of berries and leaves; Placing upon your brow a gift from the magical White Holly trees. Now raise your head and continue the peace giving tradition through out the land”.
