HETHERINGTON wasn't half a bad sort of a fellow, but he had his peculiarities, most of which were the natural defects of a lack of imagination. He didn't believe in ghosts, or Santa Claus, or any of the thousands of other things that he hadn't seen with his own eyes, and as he walked home that rather chilly afternoon just before Christmas and found nearly every corner of the highway decorated with bogus Saints, wearing the shoddy regalia of Kris-Kringle, the sight made him a trifle irritable. He had had a fairly good luncheon that day, one indeed that ought to have mellowed his disposition materially, but which somehow or other had not so resulted. In fact, Hetherington was in a state of raspy petulance that boded ill for his digestion, and when he had reached the corner of Forty-second Street and Fifth Avenue, the constant iteration and reiteration of these shivering figures of the god of the Yule had got on his nerves to such an extent as to make him aggressively quarrelsome. He had controlled the asperities of his soul tolerably well on the way uptown, but the remark of a small child on the highway, made to a hurrying mother, as they passed a stalwart-looking replica of the idol of his Christmas dreams, banging away on a tambourine to attract attention to the iron pot before him, placed there to catch the pennies of the charitably inclined wayfarer-"Oh, mar, there's Sandy Claus now!"-was too much for him.

"The Night Before Christmas," also known as "A Visit from St. Nicholas," is a famous and beloved poem that has become a holiday tradition in many households. It was written by Clement Clarke Moore and was first published anonymously in 1823. The poem is known for its vivid imagery and has played a significant role in shaping the modern-day image of Santa Claus. The poem tells the story of a man who, on the night before Christmas, is awakened by a clatter on the roof. He looks out the window and sees Santa Claus, often described as a plump, jolly, and bearded figure, arriving in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. Santa enters the house by way of the chimney and proceeds to fill the stockings hanging by the fireplace with toys, candy, and other gifts. The poem is famous for its description of Santa Claus, his reindeer, and the magical nature of the Christmas Eve visit. The reindeer are named, including Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder (sometimes spelled as Donner), and Blitzen, along with the most famous of all, Rudolph, who is not mentioned in the original poem but later became a popular addition to the folklore. The poem concludes with Santa wishing everyone a "Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!" This iconic line has become synonymous with the holiday season and is often recited during Christmas celebrations. "The Night Before Christmas" has been adapted and illustrated in countless ways over the years, making it a cherished and enduring part of Christmas culture. It captures the magic and anticipation of the Christmas season and has been read to children and families for generations.

"Nibsy Christmas" is a short story set in the East Side streets of New York City. A poor newsboy shows his generous side when he buys two younger children a piece of cake each on Christmas Eve. But tragedy will strike later that evening when he flees from his drunken father's wrath to hide in a hay factory where he falls asleep... " It was Christmas-eve over on the East Side. Darkness was closing in on a cold, hard day. The light that struggled through the frozen windows of the delicatessen store, and the saloon on the corner, fell upon men with empty dinner-pails who were hurrying homeward, their coats buttoned tightly, and heads bent against the steady blast from the river, as if they were butting their way down the street. The wind had forced the door of the saloon ajar, and was whistling through the crack; but in there it seemed to make no one afraid. Between roars of laughter, the clink of glasses and the rattle of dice on the hard- wood counter were heard out in the street. More than one of the passers-by who came within range was taken with an extra shiver in which the vision of wife and little ones waiting at home for his coming was snuffed out, as he dropped in to brace up. The lights were long out when the silent streets re-echoed his unsteady steps toward home, where the Christmas welcome had turned to dread."

"The First Christmas Tree" is a historical novella written by Henry Van Dyke, an American author, and clergyman. It was first published in 1897 and has become a classic Christmas story that captures the spirit and symbolism of Christmas traditions. The novella tells the story of a young, newly ordained minister named Johannes, who is sent from Germany to a mission in the Harz Mountains of Saxony. As he arrives in the picturesque village of Oberndorf, he discovers that the villagers celebrate the Christmas season in a unique and meaningful way. The people of Oberndorf have a tradition of decorating and lighting a fir tree in the town square, making it the first recorded instance of a Christmas tree. Johannes, initially skeptical of this custom, learns about the significance of the tree from an elderly woman named Ursula. She tells him that the tree represents the Tree of Life, and the lights on the tree symbolize the stars that shone on the night of Christ's birth. The story beautifully illustrates how the simple act of decorating a Christmas tree can serve as a powerful reminder of the joy, hope, and love that Christmas represents. "The First Christmas Tree" is not only a heartwarming and enchanting tale but also a reflection on the meaning of Christmas traditions. It emphasizes the importance of embracing the spirit of giving, love, and faith during the holiday season.
