She sang of the big tree-trunks, standing close together, with their roots intertwining below the earth and their branches intertwining above it; of their rough coating of bark and queer, gnarled limbs; of the bushy foliage that roofed the entire forest, save where the sunbeams found a path through which to touch the ground in little spots and to cast weird and curious shadows over the mosses, the lichens and the drifts of dried leaves.The Forest of Burzee is mighty and grand and awesome to those who steal beneath its shade.

What will Christmas be like if Santa Claus can't make it to Lindbergh Mountain? Kristen is worried that Santa will not be able to find her family's old run-down cabin on Lindbergh Mountain. Her father told her that he read in the newspaper - The Lindbergh Mountain Gazette - that due to dangerous weather conditions, Santa would not be able to make it to Lindbergh Mountain. It would be absolutely impossible for Santa to come this year. But, just the day before, Kristen overheard Santa Claus talking to Mrs. Claus. Kristen had gone to see Santa at Feeney's Department Store. She had to go back there because she had changed her mind about everything on her original Christmas list. On this Christmas Eve last-minute visit, she told Santa that she only wanted coal, even though she was a perfectly behaved little girl. She did not want any toys at all! On her earlier visit, she had a long list of toys that she wanted for Christmas. Santa wondered why she just wanted lumps of coal. Santa was puzzled and curious about this unusual request. And as Kristen got up from his lap, she heard him talking to Mrs. Claus. She distinctly heard Santa say something about giving her "The Secret of the Reindeer." When she awoke on Christmas morning, Kristen noticed a pile of fluffy reindeer fur, lying on the floor which was next to a note from Santa. And the fur seemed to have magical powers. She couldn't wait another minute to wake her mom and dad and her brother, Ryan. Kristen tapped the fluffy reindeer fur. The living room was aglow with the magic of Santa and his elves in his workshop. Elves ran to and fro, sleigh bells rang, and bags of shiny coins, toys, food and coal for the old stove appeared. Santa even left her a new pet - a baby reindeer! Christmas on Lindbergh Mountain was definitely the best ever! Visit website for Free Downloads for Family Fun Activities.

The Forest of Burzee is mighty and grand and awesome to those who steal beneath its shade. Coming from the sunlit meadows into its mazes it seems at first gloomy, then pleasant, and afterward filled with never-ending delights. For hundreds of years it has flourished in all its magnificence, the silence of its inclosure unbroken save by the chirp of busy chipmunks, the growl of wild beasts and the songs of birds. Yet Burzee has its inhabitants-for all this. Nature peopled it in the beginning with Fairies, Knooks, Ryls and Nymphs. As long as the Forest stands it will be a home, a refuge and a playground to these sweet immortals, who revel undisturbed in its depths. Civilization has never yet reached Burzee. Will it ever, I wonder?
