It was very early Christmas morning and in the stillness of the dawn, with the soft snow falling' on the housetops, a little child was born in the Bird household. They had intended to name the haby Lucy, if it wrere a girl; but they had not expected her on Christmas morning, and a real Christmas baby was not to be lightly named - the whole family agreed in that. | The Bird's Christmas Carol - 1898 by Douglas Wiggin Kate Douglas Wiggin, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
