Old Christmas

by Washington Irving

Published by Washington Irving in 1876, the first chapter, Christmas reads as a stand-alone short story to enjoy for the holidays.
"It is, indeed, the season of regenerated feeling--the season for kindling, not merely the fire of hospitality in the hall, but the genial flame of charity in the heart."
