I'm reading "Once Upon A Christmas Time", a book by Thyra Ferre Bjorn about her childhood Christmases in Sweden. This is the book I ordered several days ago, and received in yesterday's mail. It's a short book; I might finish it in one day. The author wrote: "In today's busy world we don't take time to fill our souls with beauty. I pray that each one who reads these pages will pause long enough to recapture Yules long gone and perhaps to find back there in time the key to happiness and contentment in this restless age." That was in 1964; I wonder what she would say about our now even faster-paced world.
