The Giltons have lots of kids, and simply strive to make ends meet. The Biltons are well to do. Mr. Bilton is a grumpy old man, who gets irritated by children. When his dog is poisoned, he wrongly accuses the Giltons. On Christmas Eve, however, in the midst of a snowstorm, Mr. Gilton gets turned around, and stumbles into the Bilton home rather than his own. He is overwhelmed by the warmth of the welcome he receives from the whole family, and the simple joy in the Gilton household. A heart-warming story with a happy ending.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Christmas Accident, and Other Stories Women's tomfoolery to want to have people, whom you weren't anything to and who were n't anything to you, ringing your doorbell all the time and bother ing around in your dining-room, which of course it was; and she would have believed it if a woman ever did believe anything a man says a great many times. In the other house there were five Chil dren, and, as Mr. Gilton said, they made too large a family, and they ought to have gone somewhere else. Possibly they would have gone had it not been for the fence; but when Mr. Gilton put it up and Mr. Bilton told him it was three inches too far on his land, and Mr. Gilton said he could go to law about it, express ing the idea forcibly, Mr. Bilton was foolish enough to take his advice. The decision went against him, and a good deal of his money went with it, for it was a long, teasing lawsuit, and instead of being three inches of made ground it might have been three degrees of the Arctic Circle for.

Book excerpt: A Christmas Accident and Other Stories by Annie Eliot Trumbull AT first the two yards were as much alike as the two houses, each house being the exact copy of the other. They were just two of those little red brick dwellings that one is always seeing side by side in the outskirts of a city, and looking as if the occupants must be alike too. But these two families were quite different. Mr. Gilton, who lived in one, was a pretty cross sort of man, and was quite well-to-do, as cross people sometimes are. He and his wife lived alone, and they did not have much going out and coming in, either. Mrs. Gilton would have liked more of it, but she had given up thinking about it, for her husband had said so many times that it was women's tomfoolery to want to have people, whom you weren't anything to and who weren't anything to you, ringing your doorbell all the time and bothering around in your dining-room, -which of course it was; and she would have believed it if a woman ever did believe anything a man says a great many times...

This book was released on 2023-12-12 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effie had been playing with her dolls one cold December morning, and Lill had been reading, until both were tired. But it stormed too hard to go out, and, as Mrs. Pelerine had said they need not do anything for two hours, their little jaws might have been dislocated by yawning before they would as much as pick up a pin. Presently Lill said, Effie, shall I tell you a story.O yes! do! said Effie, and she climbed up by Lill in the large rocking-chair in front of the grate. She kept very still, for she knew Lills stories were not to be interrupted by a sound, or even a motion. The first thing Lill did was to fix her eyes on the fire, and rock backward and forward quite hard for a little while, and then she said, Now I am going to tell you about my thought travels, and they are apt to be a little queerer, but O! ever so much nicer, than the other kind!As Lills stories usually had a formal introduction she began: Once upon a time, when I was taking a walk through the great field beyond the orchard, I went way on, round where the path turns behind the hill. And after I had walked a little way, I came to a high wallbuilt right up into the sky. At first I thought I had discovered the ends of the earth, or perhaps I had somehow come to the great wall of China. But after walking a long way I came to a large gate, and over it was printed in beautiful gold letters, Santa Claus Land, and the letters were large enough for a baby to read!How large that might be Lill did not stop to explain.
