They always have to pretend they're having a Christmas. I can always tell when grownfolks are around, because I have to work so much harder with them. I must call my fairies. Come, oh Christmas fairies all, Answer to the Spirit's call! Did you fill the stockings, Happyheart? Happyheart: I've filled a million stockings! Spirit: Splendid! And you, Merrylips?
They are more fun than real presents and can make wishes come true! Goodwill: They say grownfolks are worse than children about making wishes, only they keep their wishes locked up! Happyheart: Wouldn't it be lovely? Joy: I know let's call the Spirit of Childhood! Happyheart: Splendid! She will surely know a way! Spirit: How can we call her, Joy-fairy? Joy: Put your fingers over your eyes tight!
Happyheart: They get very sad wishing they were children again! Merrylips: Christmas is very hard on them, poor things! Spirit: The men talk about spending so much money and the women sit up late nights stitching and stitching and complaining that they will not give anything but cards another Christmas. Merrylips: How foolish they are! Peace: They forget that we will help them!
As they sing Joy runs into the room. Joy: I've been so busy making happiness! This funny world needs so much of it and everyone wants something different! And there were so many children! Spirit: Yes, and we have no presents! Happyheart can make their hearts light and Peace can give them a song, but, you know, I'd just like to have them have some presents like children have!
Goodwill: Go, Jesters, and bring in to them the Christmas Bowl! Spirit: Now, fairies, we must stop our work! We've worked overtime already, and you know there is an eight-hour law now for fairies. Merrylips: Yes, but we've helped these poor grownfolks! Happyheart: Let us say farewell to them! Now, one two three!
Laugh, someone, laugh! Harder! I am Childhood! Laugh with me! Chorus: Welcome welcome! It must be filled with fairy gifts! Goodwill: How will we know which gifts to give each person? You see I have to keep careful records of everybody! Spirit: Why it's just like Santa Claus used to do when the old-fashioned children believed in him! Happyheart: He was a fine man! Spirit: Ah, here they come!
Happyheart: Open it quickly! Have they got their best wish on top of their hearts? Happyheart: Is every one happy? Goodwill: Do you all feel very, very kind to one another? Peace: Do you know my songs? Childhood: Then let's have a bright light so that we may begin! Then she holds the package while Happyheart reads from Childhood's Record what the book has to say of each person.
After this has been read Joy with dancing step takes the fairy package to the person named. Happyheart: The fairy gifts are all gone! Happyheart: And now they will be happy! If they drink our fairy brew they will never, never forget this Christmas! Happyheart: And they will always believe in the Christmas Spirit! Spirit: And in the Christmas Fairies!
Merrylips: And these grown folks must make a big, big wish and have it on top of their hearts! Then, if they carry their gifts in the bottom of their pockets their wishes will come true! Childhood: I will call my Jesters! They are clever knaves they will find the gifts! Happyheart: Call them quickly! Childhood: I have to do very funny things, because I am Childhood, you know.
Happyheart: You see they don't believe in fairies! It's because they are so old! Why, they say that some are over thirty! Goodwill: As if that mattered! Spirit: But I do feel very sorry for them! They can scarcely remember when they used to hang up their stockings! They will come and gather around this tree and there will be no presents! Peace: Let's think hard!
