| Summary | "Holidays at the Grange; or, A Week's Delight" by Emily Mayer Higgins is a collection of holiday-themed stories and games written in the late 19th century. The narrative focuses on the joyous gathering of the Wyndham family and their young friends as they come together to celebrate Christmas at the family homestead, known as the Grange. With a delightful mix of games, tales, and festive spirit, the book offers a nostalgic glimpse into the warmth and camaraderie of familial bonds during the holiday season. The opening of the work introduces readers to the cozy setting of the Grange, where Uncle John and Aunt Lucy warmly host their numerous young relatives, including Cousin Mary and a group of lively children eager to enjoy Christmas Eve together. As they gather around the fireplace, excitement fills the air as gifts from Kriss-Kinkle (Santa Claus) are exchanged, and delightful games such as "Consequences" are introduced to amplify their merriment. The scene is painted with vibrant descriptions of the setting, characters, and various activities, establishing a foundation for the wholesome stories and cherished traditions that unfold throughout the book.
