Kindles by Byers' Choice
Kindle Story
Kindles-Perhaps you have already heard of their
work. If you've ever wondered how a snowman seems to wink just as you walk by,
or how the lights on the tree seem to have an extra sparkle on Christmas Eve?
Consider Kindles. How does Santa fit down even the tightest chimney? It's those
Kindles at work again, putting the twinkle in the eye of even the smallest child
believing in the magic of Christmas morning.
Far away, in a land where snow falls in
glittering heaps of confectioner's sugar, there lives a group of sprites whose
vast experience, energy and spirit have given them an extraordinary opportunity.
These aren't just elves, they'd be quick to point out with pride and
distinction: they're Kindles, Guardians of the Christmas Spirit.
It seems a Kindle's work is never done, but far
from being drudgery, the Kindle's work involves mounds of chatter, laughter and
light-heartedness. A room that has been touched by Kindles is swept with the
glitter of fantasy, the charm of Christmas gone by and the sparkling prospects
of what is yet to come. Kindles work collectively with playful diligence but
often their overabundant enthusiasm causes prospects to go a little off kilter.
Bakerkins see that holiday cookies are done to
perfection, though it is quite likely they have added a bit more sugar than the
recipe intended. Decorator Kindles assure that your tree lights are twinkling
and that the garland is draped just right. Artisans apply the finishing touches
on millions of toys made each year for Santa's delivery, lovingly by the toy
maker Kindles. There are Kindles in charge of wrapping packages and those who
fill workrooms with joyous holiday music. Mailroom helpers, who were once
responsible for sorting Santa's letters, will now supervise your Christmas
cards, making certain that they are perfectly addressed, licked, stamped, and
mailed - well almost perfectly.
Though the Kindles' origin is a closely held
mystery, this much is assured: like a snowflake, no two are alike. Each is an
original from the top of their hats to the tips of their toes. No doubt, all
Kindles are content and patient, mischievous and playful, helpful and kind.
Sometimes musing and more often amusing, they are sure to evoke the creative
spirit within - the one that had forgotten how to play, and nearly overlooked
the joy and spirit of Christmas.
Is it the magic of the Season that enables
Kindles to remind us that there is still the spirit of a child within each of
us? It must be. Believe in Kindles, they are here. But more importantly, believe
in the power of Christmas.
