“I hear that in many places something has happened to Christmas; that it is changing from a time of merriment and carefree gaiety to a holiday which is filled with tedium; that many people dread the day and the obligation to give Christmas presents is a nightmare to weary, bored souls; that the children of enlightened parents no longer believe in Santa Claus; that all in all, the effort to be happy and have pleasure makes many honest hearts grow dark with despair instead of beaming with good will and cheerfulness.” PeopleGivingBelieveHeartChildrenSoulGrowsParentDarkPleasureEffortHappenedHonestDespairFilledObligationChristmasBoredHolidayEnlightenedNightmareDreadWearySantaGood WillCheerfulnessSanta ClausChristmas HolidayCarefreeXmasChristmas ThoughtsTediumMerrimentGaietyChristmas PresentBelieve In Santa Author:Julia Peterkin
