The Magic of all your Believing
Christmas is a powerful time in the Fairy Kingdom, the Elves and Gnomes are particularly busy.
Human children far and wide are writing lists of wishes, wants and desires.
The Home Place Fairies cheerfully depart from their cozy winter chambers waving wands, busily casting enchantments upon any childhood wish that happens to linger, determining the integrity of each wish by the weight of a child’s sincerity as opposed to desire.
The magic of all your believing begins with a wish.
Christmas is the perfect occasion for creating your own great story.
Imagine walking out your front door into the world of your imagination.
How wonderful, how utterly fantastical that could be.
Here atop Blue Fairy Hill a little girl dances alone with her Teddy in new fallen snow.
She dances the dance of the hopeful.
A dance of youth, promise and infinite possibilities.
Later she will return home to her sister and family.
She will carefully place the last ornament on their fir tree, wishing for kindness, for fresh food on their table, for family unity, love and understanding…. a game maybe and a new soft toy or two.
At the end of the day she will fall asleep with her fuzzy in a box by the fire.
The Fairies will linger watching over the child, taking into account all of her dreams and desires, her past and present behaviors and the depth of her heart.
If they determine her worthy, which they do….they will weave together all of her wishes, hopes and desires into an invisible but potent shroud…
And they will cover the sleeping child with this shroud, instilling upon her the courage to strive and move forward, to believe in her own character…to have the bravery to live her own great story out loud.
Later this Christmas evening the child will not awaken when her Father gently carries her, tucks her in gently to her warm soft bed.
In the morning this little girl will waken and will wonder if she only dreamed of all the fairies that danced the night before in the snow and around her bed.
