From the moment I stepped out into my dooryard this morning I knew this day was special.<\/p>\n

All about me the ground was covered with new fallen snow; all was silent, all was still.<\/p>\n

It is Christmas Eve, the Eve before the most sacred day of all days in all of the world .<\/p>\n

Fairies, humans and animals all respect and honor this day.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I intentionally wander about my farm with a deepening sense of gratitude for the God of All, Things whomever and whatever we each perceive her to be.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Entering the pit greenhouse far below the frost line, I am awed by how the greenery flourishes despite the outside snow.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Children’s Garden, all is still, the flowers slumber, dormant beneath a blanket of white; not a fairy nor human in sight.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Crossing the back meadow I pass Old Horse as he stands and has stood sentry for eons, guarding the entrance to the Home Place Fairies winter chamber as he has done each and every day.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Heading up the knoll strolling through the woodland amidst white with new fallen snow I am awed by the natural world all around me. Paco my pal forever and always will race me to Blue Fairy Hill.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will cross over the bridge of The Stream of Dreams where wand makers create magic each Easter in spring.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We will walk through the glen where The Good Gnomes reside.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paco and I, hiking to the top of Blue Fairy Hill where I pledge my allegiance to the land before and beneath me, far and wide.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just before dusk sets in I hear laughter and catch a glimpse of a lone child at the top of the hill as she dances with her Teddy alone in the snow.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This child has discovered an enchanted Christmas Tree left by the Fairies, Elves, Gnomes and Trolls.<\/p>\n

Over her left shoulder way up in the sky I see the protective guiding light of the north star watching over her as she sings thanks to the powers that be.<\/p>\n

Heading back down the hill Paco and I enter the enchanted Woodland where the Home Place Fairies dwell.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There I leave an offering upon the Alter of the Fairies at the foot of their Great Oak Tree.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My gift to them, a token of thanks for all the magic they bring to our world.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As I leave the woodland and head for home I sense though could not see the Home Place Fairy folk looking out at me.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My little farmhouse looks so cozy and warm after a day wandering about in the cold.<\/p>\n

\"SONY<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The walkway to home looks inviting, all a glimmer and welcoming with lights.<\/p>\n

There truly is no place like home on Christmas Eve night, surrounded by loved ones, pets and family at your side.<\/p>\n

\"Xmas<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Wishing you all wherever you are A Fairy Merry Christmas from the north side of a small mountain in Maine!<\/p>\n

Love from \u00a0The Home Place Fairies and The Fairy Seamstress<\/p>\n

Peace be within us all.<\/p>\n
