Visions arose of crowded streets, of shops decorated with holly and mistletoe, of churches with little candle-lit Nativities, of Christmas-trees at home laden with fairy lamps and presents, of children sitting up late to dance and laugh and then hanging up their stockings before going to bed to dream of Santa Claus, ...of church bells ringing for midnight mass, and, last of all, of the " waits" by the old cross in the market-place in the midst of the winter frost and snow.
