“We fire; so popular nt this time of
said the Christmas plants.
“O u r f a m i 1 y
name,” said one
of the plants, “is
that of Poinsettia.
. “That is a hard
name to say and
I am glad Unit t
aril not .enJIeilup-
. on to pronounce
that long name.
It is-easier to he
a. I’oinsettia than
to speak of one.
. “A Poinsettla like
me, it is easy to
be.
But to say; the
word is harder,
you seel”
“We are used
as (Jecorjitions at
this time of the’year,” said another
I'oinsettia plant.
“People think that the big red blos-
soms of. pur plants are flowers, but*
really they are leaves.
' “To be,sure, we have leaves too, nice
green leave's which look like' the
Christinas season also. But the red
blossoms which people call our flowers
are. really and truly leaves.
“I’m quite sure about that, and I
ought to know as 1 am a Poinsettia
plant.” *
“We like damp ground,” said an-
other. I’oinsettia plant, “and we have
all been well looked after si) we will
appear at our best for the Christmas
season.
“How nice it is to belong to the [best
season of the year. How extremely
nice it, is.”
“See, who is coming f” said the first
I'oinsettia plant.
“A man,” said the second I’oinsettia
plant.
“And he wears red as we do,” said
the first Poinsettia plant. “What a
beautiful red suit lie wears.”
“Handsome,” agreed the other
plants.
“Ah,” said the man who was none
other .than Santa Claus, “so the plants
are whispering among themselves, eh?
Well, you do look like this season of
the year.”
“Indeed you do, and how Santa
Claus loves . the bright red color of
your leaves.”
“Good,” said the Poinsettla plants,
“he said he liked our red leaves. He
knew they were leaves.”
- “Well, you see,” said Santa Claus,
”1 know this time of the year very
well and . I know the plants and the
shrubs and the trees which are used
for Christmas decorations and for
Christmas presents.
“Some of you have arrived as
Christmas presents, haven’t you?”
“We all have,” said the Poinsettia
plants. ■
“How guy you all look,” Santa Claus
said. “But I must make haste. I
have so much to do. Ah, here Is a
note for me. I must read It.”
So Santa Claus read the note which
had been left, for him. As he did so
be smiled and several times he
laughed aloud.
“What do you suppose she wants?”
he said half to himself and half aloud.
“She wants a kiss! Isn’t that the
nicest, sweetest thing?
“She -wants old Santa Claus to kiss
her. Yes, little girl, I will give you a
kiss. k
“She says her bedroom is up one
flight of stairs and then I"must turn to
the first door on the right.
“I shall do just as she asks. She
says in. this note that it would make
her so happy to
have Santa Claus
kiss her and she '
'onders, if I am
