Excerpt from Works of Charles Dickens: Master Humphrey's Clock; New Christmas Stories; General Index of Characters and Their Appearances; Familiar Sayings From Dickens's Works
Of pretty mothers, aunts, and nurses - made a lively realisation Of the fancies of childhood; and set me thinking how all the trees that grow and all the things that come into existence on the earth, have their wild adornments at that well-remembered time.
Being now at home again, and alone, the only person in the house awake, my thoughts are drawn back, by a fascination which I do not care to resist, to my own childhood. I begin to consider, what do we all remember best upon the branches of the Christmas Tree of our own young Christmas days, by which we climbed to real life.
