Dulce Domum, Gift of the Magi, and Christmas Morning

This presentation includes three of the best-loved holiday stories ever. We begin with the lovely tale of how Mole and Rat shared Christmas with the field mice at Mole's house from the classic tale, The Wind in the Willows, by Kenneth Grahame. We take a short break to hear Francis P. Church assure a little New York girl that there is such a person as Santa Claus. Then we hear O. Henry's wise and simple story about the two young people in love who did two very foolish things that turned out to be very wise indeed. Then, after Clement Clarke Moore tells the story of what happened during The Night Before Christmas, we hear Louisa May Alcott's timeless story of five young girls who learn to love their neighbors better than themselves--and have a wonderful time doing it.
