EDITORS COMMENTS
A Delightful Christmas Tradition: Mrs. Howard Pease's Bird-Friendly Tree, December 1922 In the heart of the English countryside, at Otterburn Tower in Northumberland, a unique Christmas tradition was unfolding. Mrs. Howard Pease, a loving mother and devoted bird enthusiast, had an idea that would bring joy to both her family and the local wildlife. Instead of adorning her home with the usual trimmings, she decided to create a special Christmas tree for the birds. The tree, nestled by the window, was a sight to behold. Its branches were laden with a bountiful harvest of nuts and fruits, carefully selected to provide sustenance for the feathered visitors. Coconuts, Brazil nuts, and chains of monkey nuts hung enticingly, their rich, nutty aroma wafting through the room. Suet cakes, a favorite among birds, were artfully arranged among the greenery. The scene was one of pure enchantment. Children's eyes sparkled with wonder as they watched from the cozy warmth of their family home. A boy and a girl, bundled up against the winter chill, pressed their noses against the windowpane, their breath forming tiny puffs of steam in the crisp December air. Their mother, a proud and contented woman, admired the view with a smile, her heart filled with the joy of giving back to nature. As the snow continued to fall gently outside, the birds came to feast on this generous offering. The tree became a beacon of life and warmth, a testament to the enduring spirit of the holiday season. Mrs. Howard Pease's innovative idea not only brought delight to her family but also to the wild birds that graced her garden, making it a truly magical Christmas for all.
