| Summary | "Our Christmas Party" by Edwin Hodder is a holiday-themed novel written in the mid-19th century. The story centers around an inviting and jovial character named Mr. Merry, who is determined to host a cheerful Christmas Eve party for youths in his community. The narrative unfolds through the preparations and the various amusing events that occur during the celebration. The opening of this festive novel introduces readers to Mr. Merry as he shares his plans with Rebecca, his loyal housekeeper, about throwing a party for the local young people. Their humorous exchange highlights Rebecca's initial objections, which are soon replaced with enthusiastic support when she realizes the festive spirit of the occasion. As the clock ticks closer to the chosen time for the gathering, the excitement builds with the arrival of the guests, who are a lively group of characters, including the musical Tom Martin and the spirited Ada, and others eager to partake in the merriment. The atmosphere is festive, setting the stage for laughter, music, and a variety of entertaining activities planned for the night. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
