"In The Days of Giants" from Abbie Farwell Brown. An American author (1871-1927).

Miss Angelina Terry is a miserable old lady angry at the whole world. She decides to throw all of her old toys out in the street because she wants to prove the "Christmas Spirit" to be a ridiculous idea. And as she watches people stealing toys from the street she believes to have proven her point. However, while falling asleep in front of the fire, Miss Terry gets a visit by the Christmas Angel, who shows her what really happened with each of the toys, once she stopped watching, restoring her faith in Christmas Spirit.

THE oldest stories of every race of people tell about the Beginning of Things. But the various folk who first told them were so very different, the tales are so very old, and have changed so greatly in the telling from one generation to another, that there are almost as many accounts of the way in which the world began as there are nations upon the earth. So it is not strange that the people of the North have a legend of the Beginning quite different from that of the Southern, Eastern, and Western folk. This book is made of the stories told by the Northern folk, - the people who live in the land of the midnight sun, where summer is green and pleasant, but winter is a terrible time of cold and gloom; where Rocky Mountains tower like huge giants, over whose heads the thunder rolls and crashes, and under whose feet are mines of precious metals. Therefore, you will find the tales full of giants and dwarfs, - spirits of the cold mountains and dark caverns.

Norah flushed; but she was hardened to her mistress's manner. "Only to ask if I may go out for a little while to see the decorations and hear the singing." "Decorations? Singing? Fiddlestick!" retorted Miss Terry, poker in hand. "What decorations? What singing?" "Why, all the windows along the street are full of candles," answered Norah; "rows of candles in every house, to light the Christ Child on his way when he comes through the city to-night."
