Spring is the very Saviour, as it were, of all the numberless folk, great and small, which grow green and blossom there, wherefore the forest holds festival for his birthday and cradle feast as is but fitting! The fir- tree lights up brighter tips to its boughs, as children do with tapers at Christmastide. Then comes the largesse.
"But I'm just crazy to see if a man can't be captain in his own claim. These children must go to school. They must all go the darned lot of 'em." Before I speak of what happened at school, I must say how and when I first became known to the doctor's boy. It was during the previous Christmastide. On Christmas Eve I awoke in the dead of night with the sense of awakening in another world.
Then he became aware of his oversight and took the sheets from their hands, laughing and regretting his neglect. Fritz assumed the proper attitude, and Papa did the same, but when the latter saw the heading of the poem: "To his dear parents at Christmastide," he changed his mind and said: "Let's leave that till later when we are with Mamma." And so the boys could go on to their places.
This simple gaiety was heartiest at Christmastide, when the yearly reunion of families took place; and because nearly everybody in Jersey was "couzain" to his neighbour these gatherings were as patriarchal as they were festive. The new year of seventeen hundred and eighty-one had been ushered in by the last impulse of such festivities.

For my part, I think we get it now and then, little by little, as "the kingdom" comes.
They appointed Wellington generalissimo of all the Spanish armies; and, in a visit which he paid to the Cortes at Christmastide, he prepared for a real co-operation of Spanish forces in the next campaign. At that time Napoleon was uneasily looking into the state of Spanish affairs.
Her age, she said, gave her a chance others in the Mission had not, and she sought in the most tactful way to lead them to a consideration of the highest things. Christmastide as a rule came and went in the bush without notice, except for a strange tightening of the heart, and a renewal of old memories.
As Christmastide approached, a fierce struggle went on in her mind; she had never thought of being away from home on Christmas Day, and it would be very lonely and dull at Hapsleigh, so different from the merry party who always met at home on that day; but her mother had written that she must judge for herself if it would be right to leave, and when she thought of her aunt, who was beginning to look to her for entertainment and company, and of the quarrels certain to arise between the other members of the household, her mind was soon made up, and, although with a very heavy heart, she wrote that she thought she must stay.
It succumbed shortly afterwards and that was the end of "Ma's" strenuous fight and Jean's ten weeks' toil by night and day. She was down at Use for Christmastide with all her children about her, and was very happy at seeing the consummation of her efforts to build a new church.
