      The evergreenery of our holly and mistletoe declares the everlasting life; and the off-key sounds of carolers, hoarse and shrill and piping, come from the throats of angels, as their listeners for those few moments are transformed into shepherds, hearing for the first time the gladdest tidings of the greatest joy.
