Chapter 24


  Of course, weary traveler, winter time and Christmas time are the best times at Christmas Crossroads.  The greenhouse has trimmed trees and wreaths for anyone who still wants to decorate.  The Christmas street lights are lit early on snowy days.  There are sleigh rides around town to see the lights and decorations with stops to shop and to have hot cocoa and gingerbread cookies.  Groups of school children take turns signing Christmas carols in front of the chapel.







On Christmas Eve while the youngest children are being tucked into bed, the sleighs ride around town loudly ring the sleigh bells for the little ones to hear so they fall asleep knowing Saint Nicholas soon would be there.  The older children and adults put on their winter woolies and walk or ride those sleighs over to our sheep pasture.  Yes, the sheep pasture.  It was afterall us farmers and shepherds that came here with our sheep to settle our Christmas town.  We build a special Christmas angel along side the pasture and on Christmas Eve the Christmas Story is read there.





The best part of the story for us was when an angel appeared to the shepherds who were watching their sheep and the angel said " Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord".  Yes, most definitely our favorite part of the Story.

Chapter 25


  Good morning, weary traveler.  Merry Christmas.  I hope you slept well and had a good breakfast.  You know you are at the Crossroads and must decide soon which way you want to go from here.  I wouldn't advise you to go south, there are pirates and other unsavory characters down there.  And it is so hot.  No need for winter woolies down there.  Your best bet might be to take the next train west to Rail's End.  It won't take long to get there.  The End is near.  Have a safe trip, weary traveler, and have a Merry Christmas.
