This 1916 drama is a new Christmas play by Elizabeth F. Guptill that is full of pure, wholesome joy from starting to end. It presents the trials of the teacher of an old-fashioned "deestric school" in running the last rehearsal for Christmas Entertainment. Some pupils are in "custom," as big Jake puts it, and "Sandy Claus" is there. The children go through their parts with enthusiasm and more or less success. The short play is considered easy to produce and perform with simple costumes and no fancy supplies. It has proved to be a pleasant drama for both children and adults. The cast includes the teacher, Miss Peppergrass, Aunt Hepsey, a queer character from the district, and fifteen pupils.

Perfect for fans of A Winter in New York by Josie Silver and Always in December by Emily Stone, Christmas at Reedy Falls is an opposites-attract, wholesome Christmas romance that will leave readers believing in the magic of the holiday—and how it brings people together. When Mamie Morrow, a fledgling Charleston journalist, is offered an assignment covering the Grand Bohemian Lodge in Greenville, South Carolina, at Christmastime, she jumps at the chance. Her grandfather recently passed away and left her a mysterious box of objects from the time she spent with him in New Mexico when she was three. Mamie has zero recollection of her time with her grandfather, but she now knows that he was Navajo—and as the majestic Grand Bohemian is filled with Native American art, she hopes being there will help her regain those memories. Robert Fitzpatrick is an upstart photographer from South Boston. Through equal parts inspiration and perspiration, he’s managed to compile a stunning portfolio, and he’s just relocated to slower-paced Charleston for its lush beauty and creative community. He’s also looking for the one—a girl to whom he can give his whole heart forever. But he harbors family secrets of his own. Rob is smitten with Mamie’s energy and pluck, but to Mamie, career comes first. As Christmas Day approaches, the two grapple with the complications that arise when dreams confront reality—and witness the Christmas magic that can happen when you put your faith in love.

Doctor Grenfell, apart from bringing medical service social and economic benefits to the people of the North in the 1890s and early 1900s, also brought the excitement and sheer joy of Christmas.
