Take the crisp cold of a December night .... add two parts of snow, and stir in
air so clear that it twinkles. Into a generous heart, mix the wonder of a little girl, and the sparkle of a young boy's eyes,
the love of parents, and set gently before the chimney. Add the lightest touch of reindeer hoofs, a sprig of holly a scent
of fire. Set the mixture to rise in the warmth of a dream of Good Will to Men. It will be almost ready to serve when it bubbles
with warm feeling. Bedeck with the light of a Star set in the East. Garnish with shining globes of gold, silver and red. Serve
to the tune of an ancient carol in the middle of the family table. This recipe is sufficient to all the men and women you
will ever meet.
