Cecil, Pepe' and Oscar

Perilloux Place

When my grandson was little I told him stories about the three elves who lived in our "Seven Acre Woods". Many, many stories were told through the years and I wish I had written them down. Every Christmas, I put out the images of the three and here they are. Pepe' is now missing an ear. And, the grandson graduates from the university in two weeks.

To many traditions have gone by the way-side. Each generation seems too loose their zest for holiday season. It is no longer the spirit of Christmas and why we celebrate it, but what gifts are under the tree.

Perhaps one day he'll be telling the elves' stories to his own grandchildren.

What a great trio. It's so nice to have objects like that that connect us to the past.
