Magic

Santa Claus has brought Herself her very own wand.  She had suspected it - the scent of the wood varnish, barely detectable through the tissue paper of the wrappings, provided her that clue.  She was hesitant to believe it, though, because that would have been too good to be true.  And yet, it was.

It is rare that Herself is unable to communicate her thoughts and feelings; much more commonly, she uses an excess of words. This time, though, she is silent, both in voice and in writing.  She carries her wand about the house with her as she does her chores, and it makes her inexpressibly happy.

Christmas waves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.
