Old Christmas: From the Sketch Book of Washington Irving

by Washington Irving

In 'Old Christmas,' Washington Irving takes readers on a nostalgic journey through the heart of England during the festive season. Through the eyes of an American traveler, we witness the unique and often forgotten Christmas customs and traditions of the medieval era. The story unfolds in a stately manor house, where the traveler is immersed in the rich tapestry of English Christmas celebrations, complete with traditional carols, hearty feasts, and the spirit of merriment that defines the season. This charming tale offers a glimpse into the past and captures the essence of a bygone era, filled with warmth, hospitality, and the enduring magic of Christmas.
