This book is made up of two different plays. The Author has brought before the public the two dominant characteristics of the ideal Christmas season, kindness, expressed by "good will toward men" and the inward joy wrought by kind acts, and suggested by peace on earth. As Christmas time draws near we like to think of the swell of Christmas feeling, kindness, peace and good will, which rise like a mighty tide over the world, filling it with the fresh, clean joys.

Some of the plays are filled with the spirit of fun and jollity that is always associated with Christmas merrymaking. The others emphasize the spiritual blessings brought to the children of men on that first white Christmas night when Christ, the Lord, was born in Bethlehem.

Music is provided for a few of the songs in this book. The others are to be sung to old airs that are familiar to everyone. If any of them should prove unfamiliar, the music of all except some of the hymns will be found in Denison's "Songs Worth While," one of the best arranged and most carefully edited collections of old favourites ever published.

If you enjoy an old Christmas sing along or even have an up coming Christmas play this is an excellent book for you.
