Assorted Candles with Story (Stories Follow)The Legend of the Christmas Candle
Many years ago an old Cobbler and his wife lived in a little village in Austria.
Although very poor, what they owned they shared with others. Each night
they placed a lighted candle in the window of their cottage
a sign of hospitality to travelers needing shelter.
Through the years, war and famine plagued the little village.
Yet, as though some mysterious charm guarded them,
the cobbler and his wife suffered far less than their neighbors.
One evening, on the night before Christmas, the villagers gathered to discuss
their plight. “There is something special about the cobbler and his wife.” said one villager. “They are always spared our misfortunes. What do they do that we do not? Let us put a candle in our windows too. Perhaps that is the charm.”
That night every home lit a Christmas candle in each window,
and lo, before the sun rose, a messenger brought great news to the village.
Peace had come! The village gave thanks to God for this blessing of peace
and vowed to always light candles on Christmas Eve.

If You Have No Chimney
If you have no chimney
on Christmas Eve,
awaiting the presents
that Santa will leave.
Just hang the key
by the door for him,
and all the gifts will be left within.
Candy Cane Story
Jesus Gentle Shepherd,
This cane of red and white
Proclaims the sweet love story
Born Christmas night.
This cane, you see, when turned around
Begins your name of Love
And now becomes a symbol
Of peace proclaimed above.
The lively peppermint flavor
Is the regal gift of spice.
The white is your purity
And the red your sacrifice.
And so this cane reminds us
Of just how much you care
And like your Christmas Gift
To us it's meant for all to share.
Legend of the Christmas Stocking
A kindly nobleman grieved over
the death of his beloved wife and
foolishly squandered his fortune.
This left his three young daughters
without dowries and thus facing a
life of spinsterhood.
The generous St. Nicholas, hearing
of the girls, came forth to help.
Wishing to remain anonymous, he
road a white horse by the
nobleman's house and threw three
pouches of gold coins down the
chimney where they were
fortuitously captured by the
stockings the young girls had hung
by the fireplace to dry.

Ok, so I watched this segment on Studio 5. And I LOVE the Santa's Key idea, so I went to Macey's in Provo today and I couldn't find the keys anywhere. Do not all of the stores have them? Or was I just looking in the wrong place? Thanks!

Thanks for the comment Kylie. The Sandy Store is the only Macey's that is currently offering the skeleton key neighborhood gift.
