Merry Christmas to all (even a Mouse)

 

Mrs. Mouse's Christmas

Merry Christmas to all.  May Santa find you where ever you are, alone or in modest company, and bring you good cheer, good health, and a happy New Year.

Clara is home and safely in bed. The entire household is asleep now.  Even the woodland mice are tucked up for the night.  Just in time!

"Time to go home now, Clara," said Prince Nutcracker.  "It is nearly Christmas morning."

Clara is surrounded by all the performers who have joined her in watching each successive display, and some of them are still up to merry hijinks!  The evening is drawing to a close and it is almost time for Clara to be home again.

The final performance for Clara, the "Stellar Trapeze Artists" from Australia:  fearlessly they swung and somersaulted high above the ice thrones, and to great applause slid down their ropes of flowers to take a final bow.
