| Summary | "Karl Krinken, His Christmas Stocking" by Susan Warner and Anna Bartlett Warner is a children's novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around a poor boy named Carl Krinken, who eagerly anticipates Christmas despite not being among the children who receive lavish gifts from Santa Claus. Instead, Carl is content with the simple treasures that his loving parents manage to gather for him, showcasing themes of love, family, and humility during the holiday season. The opening of the book introduces readers to the Krinken family, who live in a small hut by the sea. As Christmas Eve approaches, Carl’s father, John Krinken, and his mother ponder over what to put in Carl’s stocking, ultimately finding joy and love in the simplest of items—apples, a cork boat, a pair of new shoes, and an old book. This service to their child, despite the family's impoverished circumstances, highlights the warmth of familial ties and the spirit of giving. As the night unfolds, Santa Claus arrives to see the humble stocking filled with love, emphasizing that the true meaning of Christmas lies not in material wealth, but in the love and care shared among family.
