“¿Quiénes fueron los primeros en exclamar Navidad?
Pues ocurrió que todos eran animales.”
And then they heard the angels tell
“Who were the first to cry Nowell?
Animals all, as it befell,
In the stable were they did dwell!
Joy shall be theirs in the morning!”

"But, my dear Sebastian, you can't seriously believe it all."
ResponderEliminar"Can't I?"
"I mean about Christmas and the star and the three kings and the ox and the ass."
"Oh yes, I believe that. It's a lovely idea."
"But you can't believe things because they're a lovely idea."
"But I do. That's how I believe."
