An editorial praising Christmas as the radiant, eternal light guiding humanity. It cites Jewish anticipation before Christ and emphasizes making children happy this day, encouraging adults to embrace childlike faith, hope, and generosity on Christmas.
A reflective piece contrasts modern holiday rush and store gifts with older seasons of handmade mementos. It recalls mothers knitting scarves and mittens, home baked treats, colorful stockings by the fire, and simple seigneurly rides to church on fresh snow for a quieter Christmas mood.
Beatrice Barry reports in the New York Times about a playful Christmas scene near a holly wreath. A maid and a gentleman exchange glances under mistletoe, followed by teasing public chatter and a lighthearted rumor chain in an uptown neighborhood.
A humorous verse snippet shows a party of pretty girls under mistletoe acted coy while a sharp cynical speaker riffs on recognition and a crude jab about a harelip, capturing light verse style from a historic page.
A Washington Star piece humorously retells a cold Saturday when a husband plans to shelter his wife from a bad morning and fetch dinner. The twist shows both call lines busy and the wife happily chooses to go to market, while a neighbor warns his own wife and the story ends with the men conceding husbands are decent.
