A couple in the center play "Snap-Apple," which involves retrieving an apple hanging from a string. The couples at left play divination games.

And so, as Tiny Tim observed, God bless Us, Every One!"The words, of course, are from Charles Dickens' masterful "A Christmas Carol" published in 1843, a present the world gratefully rediscovers each and every year. They remind us that Christmas, to be Christmas, must be about magic and memories, remembering both those who are with us and (especially) those who are not..
