Christmas Rose Has Real. Significance Legend tells us tliat a young shep- herd girl was weeping bitterly as she. watched the Wise Men orr their way to take gifts to the Christ Child. An angel appeared, and after ascertaining why the young girl was crying, she waved her wand, and instantly the ground was carpeted with glittering white Christmas roses. The young girl quickly gathered these blooms. When she presented her gift, the Christ Child smiled, and as his fingers touched the white flowers the petals became tinged with pink. 0 ) If he's hard to shop for, here's the Gift that's sure to please him!
