Fairy Tales for Christmas

Although it remains a mystery to trace the origin of when exactly human beings developed the ability to tell a tale, it seems likely that they had started telling stories the moment they discovered they could speak. The speech revolution is by most an important revolution in the history of mankind.

It gave rise to a world of the imaginations, fantasy opening new horizons for the people. The ability of humans to narrate an anecdote by which the fiction was born, the capability to make a rhyming world through which poetry was born and the ability to compose music that gave rise to songs –melodies were born.

The amazing invention of language formed the basis of narratives that could be used further in the form of literature, poetry and books. People started telling stories to communicate information because it was easy to grasp the essence in applied form instead of just plain text. Lessons and teachings in writing started to emerge and folk tales, poetry was born.

It is interesting to see that fairies have emerged as miraculous, fanciful beings that possess magical powers. They appear magically to expedite the expectations. There is suspense, drama and climax due to the faeries who transform the outcomes most unpredictably in favour of the protagonists. However unreal they seem, they make the stories fun and that is what more important.

Kids believed it, people believed them in good old days and there is no reason why people from today believe the miracles. Because miracles happen and when there is no logical explanation of the consequences it is attributed to angels and fairies. And what is wrong in doing so – the tales emerging are from realities, the crude imaginations that were dreams yesterday are facts now.
