- These youngsters do not want all the toys in the window; they are willing to divide them, half and half. This is neither greedy nor irrational, for Christmas is a dream, and the glass of toy-shop windows fades away, and all children and all toys dwell together in Imagination Land. (Artist Coby Whitmore remarks that grownups can savor this mystic experience also; window-shopping, they call it, and it makes them happy too.) So wonderful is the Christmas dream that by and by the youngsters wake up, their precious dream stuff doesn’t just cruelly disappear—there it really is, bulging in their stockings! It is especially nice to the young in this enchanted season; for that matter, there is equal joy in being old, like Santa Claus.
