e-artnow presents the Christmas Specials Series. We have selected the greatest Christmas novels, short stories and fairy tales for all those who want to keep the spirit of Christmas alive with a heartwarming tale.
The holidays have arrived in Dinsmore household and Grandma Elsie has gathered together her large and extended family. There are snowball fights and sleigh races going one. Children play charades and enjoy a magic lantern show and other amusement provided by family ventriloquist, Cousin Ronald. There is also a burglar, but this is a Christmas story.

Martha Finley (1828-1909) was a teacher and author of numerous works, the most well known being the 28 volume Elsie Dinsmore series which was published over a span of 38 years.
