About the Book

I. A CHRISTMAS DREAM, AND HOW IT CAME TRUE. Im so tired of Christmas I wish there never would be another one! exclaimed a discontented-looking little girl, as she sat idly watching her mother arrange a pile of gifts two days before they were to be given. Why, Effie, what a dreadful thing to say! You are as bad as old Scrooge; and Im afraid something will happen to you, as it did to him, if you dont care for dear Christmas, answered mamma, almost dropping the silver horn she was filling with delicious candies. Who was Scrooge? What happened to him? asked Effie, with a glimmer of interest in her listless face, as she picked out the sourest lemon-drop she could find; for nothing sweet suited her just then. He was one of Dickenss best people, and you can read the charming story some day. He hated Christmas until a strange dream showed him how dear and beautiful it was, and made a better man of him. I shall read it; for I like dreams, and have a great many curious ones myself. But they dont keep me from being tired of Christmas, said Effie, poking discontentedly among the sweeties for something worth eating. Why are you tired of what should be the happiest time of all the year? asked mamma, anxiously. Perhaps I shouldnt be if I had something new. But it is always the same, and there isnt any more surprise about it. I always find heaps of goodies in my stocking. Dont like some of them, and soon get tired of those I do like. We always have a great dinner, and I eat too much, and feel ill next day. Then there is a Christmas tree somewhere, with a doll on top, or a stupid old Santa Claus, and children dancing and screaming over bonbons and toys that break, and shiny things that are of no use. Really, mamma, Ive had so many Christmases all alike that I dont think I can bear another one. And Effie laid herself flat on the sofa, as if the mere idea was too much for her. Her mother laughed at her despair, but was sorry to see her little girl so discontented, when she had everything to make her happy, and had known but ten Christmas days. Suppose we dont give you any presents at all, -how would that suit you? asked mamma, anxious to please her spoiled child. I should like one large and splendid one, and one dear little one, to remember some very nice person by, said Effie, who was a fanciful little body, full of odd whims and notions, which her friends loved to gratify, regardless of time, trouble, or money; for she was the last of three little girls, and very dear to all the family. Well, my darling, I will see what I can do to please you, and not say a word until all is ready. If I could only get a new idea to start with! And mamma went on tying up her pretty bundles with a thoughtful face, while Effie strolled to the window to watch the rain that kept her in-doors and made her dismal. Seems to me poor children have better times than rich ones. I cant go out, and there is a girl about my age splashing along, without any maid to fuss about rubbers and cloaks and umbrellas and colds....
