Legends of the Plucky and Fearless Christmas Robin

I am Robert the Robin, and I stay on a small farm near the city of Bath in the UK. We are known as the “Christmas robins.” We robins, also known as robin redbreasts, are a most beloved bird in Britain. Endearing stories have been written and told about us. Folklore has described our sensitivity and loyalty. We are easily recognizable beings who don a reddish-orange vest or pot-belly. Many people in Britain are in favor of adopting European robins as the national bird. Now to delve into why we are connected with Christmas! Here are three legends that explain how we earned our “redbreast.” All of the stories are plausible. And these tales have survived and flourished probably because they bring along relevant messages that build Faith, selflessness, and strength.
