“ I have always thought of Christmas time ... as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time; the only time ... when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely ...; and I say, God bless it! ”
Charles Dickens


The selections in Little Folks’ Christmas Stories and Plays emphasize the joy expressed by “good will toward men” and the abundant life suggested by “peace on earth.” Some of the stories and legends will appeal to the child’s interest because they are filled with the spirit of fun and jollity which is always associated with Christmas merrymaking; other selections affirm the spiritual blessings which the birth of the Christ Child brought to the children of men.
