Title: Babushka,Russian Santa Claus Part 2!!!!!! Final pa
Babushka,the Russian Santa Claus.
*******************************
'Gold,frankincense and myrrh..........' thought Babushka,'What good will that be to a new born,even one who shall be the King of Kings. I will go too,and follow the star. I will bring him a gift too, one that he will appreciate in his innocence'.
So Babushka worked hard all day and into the night to make fine toys for the baby. She filled her stockings with presents of wooden dolls,balls,bells and other toys for him. Night had alraedy fallen when Babushka began her journey and she searched the sky for the same star that guided the three men. But in the black winter sky,there was not a star to be seen.
Babushka walked from door to door in the village,asking people if they had seen the star or if they knew of a babe being born in a lowly stable. But when people saw Babushka coming,they quickly shut their windows and doors. The night grew longer and colder and finally Babushka gave up finding the Christ-child. She looked through the window of the house she was passing and saw two little children asleep in their beds. Then Babushka realised she could share the gifts for the baby with all the village children. That night,she emptied her stocking of gifts,leaving one at each house where a child lived.
And though Babushka died,of course,many years ago,some stay they still are visited by her. Babushka,the generous witch woman,still lives in the hearts of women today. And every year,on Christmas,children get stockings full of presents..........gifts,they say,from Babushka - the Russian Santa Claus.
