Christmas at Uncle's Farm Sparks a Quaint House Party
A western woman recounts the happiest Christmas of her life spent at her uncle's rural home twenty miles from Cambridge. About thirty guests, sleighs, carriages, and a grand pine tree filled the parlor as a mischief making pair plots to reveal every gift.
