Abstract
“O may our house be still a garrison Of smiling children, and forevermore The tune of little feet be heard along the floor.” (R.L. Stevenson, “Before this little gift came”). “When the children have been good, That is, be it understood, Good at mealtimes, good at play, Good all night and good all day— They shall have the pretty things Merry Christmas always brings. Naughty romping girls and boys Tear their clothes and make a noise Spoil their pinafores and frocks, And deserve no Christmas-box.” (H. Hoffmann, Struwwelpeter, or Merry Stories and Funny Pictures — a popular children's book published in German in 1845, translated into English 1848).
