    About this ebook

    This carefully crafted ebook: "Christmas Every Day and Other Stories (Illustrated)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Table of Contents: A Toast To Santa Clause The Conversion of Hetherington A Merry Christmas Pie The Child Who Had Everything But A Holiday Wish Santa Clause and Little Billee Christmas Eve The House of the Seven Santas Extract: "He was only a little bit of a chap, and so, when for the first time in his life he came into close contact with the endless current of human things, it was as hard for him to "stay put" as for some wayward little atom of flotsam and jetsam to keep from tossing about in the surging tides of the sea. His mother had left him there in the big toy-shop, with instructions not to move until she came back, while she went off to do some mysterious errand. She thought, no doubt, that with so many beautiful things on every side to delight his eye and hold his attention, strict obedience to her commands would not be hard." John Kendrick Bangs (1862-1922) was an American author, editor and satirist.
