A poem describing a cold winter journey lit by a window glow echoing Bethlehem’s star. It contrasts cold hardship with a beacon of love and memory of Christmas joys, urging generosity and blessing the warmth of old-time merriment.
A derelict couple Rudolph and a lover plot to kill the peddler husband and move Lena the child to a crime filled life. Lena clings to a fantasy of Santa Claus while the couple’s deed unfolds and she discovers her father is dead. The story ends with Lena asleep as carols echo and the lilies of the field bloom in sorrowful grace.
The piece notes St Luke as the originator of the Christmas story and contrasts his concise style with modern verbose writing. It quotes Washington Irving on how refinement erodes old holiday customs and the feudal hospitality of past festive practices.
