Great Christmas Classics
'Twas the Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore.
Dr.
Moore, who wrote the poem, never expected that he would be remembered
by it. He liked writing poetry for his children and he wrote a whole
book of poems for them.
One
year he wrote this poem, which we usually call "Twas the Night before
Christmas," to give to his children for a Christmas present. They read
it just after they had hung up their stockings before one of the big
fireplaces in their house.
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.
A
Christmas Carol is a Victorian morality tale of an old and bitter
miser, Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is a usurious moneylender who undergoes
a profound experience of redemption over the course of a Christmas Eve
night.
If
the experience doesn't change Scrooge's ways, he will end up walking
the Earth forever being nothing but an invisible and lonely ghost, like
his deceased friend Jacob Marley.
The Abbot's Ghost: A Christmas Story by Louisa May Alcott.
In
the Abbot's Ghost, Maurice Traherne is wrongly accused of fraud and
gambling and must play a careful hand if he is to win his love, Octavia,
from the grasp of other, less honorable men and retain the trust of
those who had faith in him.
