About this book

In the early 20th century, the celebration of Christmas began to evolve, intertwining tradition with new narratives of kindness and community. "The Lighting of the Christmas Tree" by Josephine L. Palmer and Annie L. Thorp is a poignant one-act play that draws inspiration from Selma Lagerlöf's "The Christmas Guest." This adaptation emphasizes the themes of hospitality and compassion as characters navigate the challenges of the season. Unique elements such as the symbolic lighting of the Christmas tree and the transformative power of generosity resonate throughout the performance. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this play invites readers to reflect on the enduring spirit of Christmas and the importance of human connection during festive times.
