The Mouse and The Christmas Cake  .  .  .  .  UnknownHere is a wonderful children's Christmas poem first published in 1858 (I'm told), Being over one hundred and fifty years old, it still remains a delightful story for young readers or listeners. Little Nib, a female mouse, discovers a perfect home for her. - a castle (decoration) atop a Christmas cake. She moves in on Christmas Eve.  But Christmas cakes are meant to be eaten at Christmas Day parties. The surprise discovery of the mouse by the partygoers and the people by the mouse creates a bit of havoc for a while.This beautiful short tale could easily become one that is read in many, many homes during the Christmas season.I wish it could become better known.
