Discover the origin of Santa Claus in this classic Christmas tale. Frank L. Baum published the Life and Adventures of Santa Claus in 1902, just two years after The Wizard of Oz. Listen as Santa Claus is found in the Forest of Burzee by the Master Woodsman of the World, Ak, and is adopted by the nymph Necile. Though no mortals are allowed in the Forest, Ak takes pity on the baby and allows Necile to raise him as her own. Once he comes of age, Ak realizes that Claus should see the world at large, and takes the young man to see children all over the world. Claus is immediately drawn to them and wants to ensure their happiness. When they return to the Forest, he is driven to leave and seeks to provide happiness to every child he comes across. 

The lore refers to Claus as Saint Nick, or Santa Claus because he worked tirelessly to provide toys to children around the world. He is known for his naughty and nice list, but even those who are naughty have the power to become good if they are provided with happiness.

The story of the Fir Tree is sweet and sorrowful. A young fir tree is nervous about growing up but hoping to find himself in a loving family with activity and joy. He becomes so obsessed with the activity and joy aspect that he forgets to live in the moment and finds himself, like most Christmas trees, used for only a few weeks and thrown away. 

Discover the journey that the fir tree undertakes as I read you to sleep.

The story of Alice in Wonderland begins with young Alice, bored and lamenting her sister's boring book choices. Alice looks for something better to do and follows a white rabbit down a massive hole in the ground. She falls for ages, even thinking she has fallen to the center of the earth, when she finds herself in a curious and strange new world where animals talk and bottles of potions can change one's size.

Each chapter of Lewis Carroll's classic story will be read as separate parts. Join me as we learn what happens to Alice in Wonderland and the importance of the white rabbit she so carelessly followed down the rabbit hole.

This version of The Little Mermaid was first published in 1837 by Hans Christian Andersen and tells the tale of a young mermaid who wants nothing more in life than to live her life on land with mortals and fall in love. As we learn, mermaids live up to 300 years, but the life of a mortal is very short. Still, the Little Mermaid gives up her tongue (by literally cutting it out) and endures the pain and blood of having legs formed from her tail. Every step she takes is brutally painful and bloody, but she endures because this is the life she so longed for. Unfortunately, the Prince she comes across and rescues takes her into his life as only a friend and remembers a different woman, though similar to her, who was his true rescuer. He is reunited with this woman, and though the mermaid gets a chance to get revenge and continue to live as a mortal, she is consumed by her choice and dies instead, leaving the Prince to lead a happy life with his new bride.

The Little Mermaid was republished numerous times in its history, eventually becoming a much different story altogether by the writers at Disney. An important message is lost in the retelling; however, as the mermaid is never given the same redemption. As in this original tale, she takes the burden unto herself and, instead of the death she believed would occur, is taken into a beautiful spiritual realm of peace where her immortal soul can be at rest.

Poem transcript:

little tree 

little silent Christmas tree 

you are so little 

you are more like a flower 

who found you in the green forest 

and were you very sorry to come away? 

see I will comfort you 

because you smell so sweetly 

I will kiss your cool bark 

and hug you safe and tight 

just as your mother would, 

only don't be afraid 

look the spangles 

that sleep all the year in a dark box 

dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine, 

the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads, 

put up your little arms 

and I'll give them all to you to hold 

every finger shall have its ring 

and there won't be a single place dark or unhappy 

then when you're quite dressed 

you'll stand in the window for everyone to see 

and how they'll stare! 

oh but you'll be very proud 

and my little sister and Iwill take hands 

and looking up at our beautiful tree 

we'll dance and sing 

"Noel Noel"

Poem transcript:

Late lies the wintry sun a-bed,   

A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;   

Blinks but an hour or two; and then,   

A blood-red orange, sets again.   

Before the stars have left the skies, 

At morning in the dark I rise;   

And shivering in my nakedness,   

By the cold candle, bathe and dress.   

Close by the jolly fire I sit   

To warm my frozen bones a bit; 

Or with a reindeer-sled, explore   

The colder countries round the door.   

When to go out, my nurse doth wrap   

Me in my comforter and cap;   

The cold wind burns my face, and blows 

Its frosty pepper up my nose.   

Black are my steps on silver sod;   

Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;   

And tree and house, and hill and lake,   

Are frosted like a wedding-cake.
