On Christmas Day in the Morning
And all the angels in heaven do sing, On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day; And all the bells on earth do ring, On Christmas Day in the morning.
--OLD SONG.
That Christmas Day virtually began a whole year beforehand, with a red-hot letter written by Guy Fernald to his younger sister, Nan, who had been married to Samuel Burnett just two and one-half years. The letter was read aloud by Mrs. Burnett to her husband at the breakfast table, the second day after Christmas. From start to finish it was upon one subject, and it read as follows:
DEAR NAN:
It's a confounded, full-grown shame that not a soul of us all got home for Christmas--except yours truly, and he only for a couple of hours. What have the blessed old folks done to us that we treat them like this? I was invited to the Sewalls' for the day, and went, of course--you know why. We had a ripping time, but along toward evening I began to feel worried. I really thought Ralph was home--he wrote me that he might swing round that way by the holidays--but I knew the rest of you were all wrapped up in your own Christmas trees and weren't going to get there.
