Add an evergreen If you’re wanting a year-round Christmas tree, have a nurseryman save a balled-and-burlapped evergreen and deliver it near Christmas. After the tree arrives, let the ball soak up some water in a tub later removing the burlap and letting the excess water drain. Then wrap the ball in a sheet of plastic and tie securely. The foliage can be sprayed with an antidesiccant which can be purchased at garden centers. This solution will also be good for cut trees. It dries in a thin, transparent film allowing carbon dioxide and oxygen passage to continue, yet it helps prevent the drying of needles. The tree can be placed indoors a couple of days before Christmas but do not keep inside for more than a week. After the holidays, plant it in a hole and mulch it to keep it from freezing. Juggler John Who is Juggler John and how did he get into the European Bethlehem scene? It seems Saint Francis introduced his living-animal manger scene in a village near Assissi. Soon, during the long and hard winters, workers started carving the manager scene. Along with the devotional figures there soon appeared ordinary folk, one of them a juggler. Later, in Anatole France’s short story, “Our Lady’s Juggler,” he appeared as the central figure. The poverty-stricken juggler, John, according to an old French legend, spun his golden balls for the crowds. As so often happened with the poor, he became the target of mockery and cruel jokes. In order to flee his tormentors, John became a monk. But his desire to please the Virgin frustrated him as he still felt so inferior. One day John put on his old costume and juggled some oranges in front of the Virgin statue. The friars rushed in to stop his sacrilege but the story goes that they suddenly stopped as they saw the statue smile. The moral of the legend: No matter how humble the gift — it’s always acceptable when given with a pure heart.
