👉 In the quaint town of Waltham, Massachusetts, there lived a curious family with a peculiar belief: that on Christmas Day, everyone heard bells ringing.
The family's father, Mr. Calkin, had been a minister for many years and was known for his unique approach to religious services. As he preached in church, he always found the most unexpected occurrences happening during his sermons. One Sunday, as he sat at the pulpit, a strange bell rang out from the neighboring street below. Mr. Calkin looked up and saw that it was not one of his parishioners, but rather, a waltz dancer with a large, beaming smile on her face. Excited by the unexpected guest, Mr. Calkin invited her to take a seat in the front row. "Let's give this dance the best we can," he said, smiling at his daughter-in-law. As she got up to join the waltz, she found herself caught between the two performers. "Who's the first?" asked Mrs. Calkin, who was feeling a bit nervous about being the first one to step up. "I think I'll dance for you," replied the waltzing dancer, with an infectious enthusiasm that made everyone around her gasp in awe. But as they danced, Mr. Calkin couldn't help but feel something different. The music became more complex and intricate, and he found himself lost in a world of wonder and possibility
