Rose Hirtwick Thorpe.
On a bitter New Year Eve Hans and Gretchen, orphan siblings living with sick Granny in a bare cellar, share a pot of boiled potatoes and a treasured old newspaper tale. They glimpse festive shop windows, while Granny aches and poverty bites. The tale Gretchen reads recalls a kind child aiding an old witch and a magic twig tale.
Children Hans and Gretchen beg for a hemlock branch, are mocked, then aided by a kind gentleman who returns with a real evergreen tree full of gifts. The trio share a festive morning, enjoying a sled, a doll, clothing items, tea, and treats as Granny smiles over a warm home.

The Sunny Hour’s profits this year are donated to poor New Yorkers.
