But the yule holiday has been celebrated for at least two centuries in North America, and our writers have been producing memorable stories about this unique day for almost as long. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHere are 25 Christmas stories old and new, tales to delight, to entrance, to beguile, and even to sadden a whole new generation of readers. From Nina Kiriki Hoffman's poignant \"Lazelle Family Christmas\" to Jacob A. Riis's gut-wrenching portrait of the holiday in the 1890s slums of New York to Johnston McCulley's riveting tale of Christmas in the Old West, we experience every possible facet of this most precious day of the year. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSo sit back and relive your memories once again, as recreated through the eyes of some of the finest writers of their time!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIncluded in this volume are:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eINTRODUCTION, by Robert Reginald\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE SUBSTITUTE SHOPPER, by Edna A.
