Why is Christmas Eve such a happy day? I say a little hymn about happy, happy Christmas. – Amy Campbell, “Christmas Eve,” 1872
Christmas Eve came at last. The day was bright and beautiful, the ground crisp and hard, and the hoary trees shining like diamonds! What a happy day it brought to many, to most! Even in the poorest village a little green fir branch testified that it was Christmas Eve. – Amy Campbell, “Christmas Eve,” 1872
