Christmas Entertainments by Alice Maude Kellogg
"Christmas Entertainments" by Alice M. Kellogg is a collection of festive performance pieces intended for children, likely written in the late 19th century. This anthology contains a variety of creative works such as fancy drills, acrostics, motion songs, tableaux, short plays, and recitations in costume, all designed to celebrate the Christmas season and engage children aged five to fifteen. Its topics revolve around traditional Christmas themes, including Santa Claus, celebrations, and thespirit of giving. At the start of "Christmas Entertainments," the book presents an assortment of cheerful songs and activities that center on the excitement of the holiday season. The pieces feature joyous children anticipating the arrival of Santa Claus and partaking in festive drills that could be performed at school or community events. Each segment invites participation, using activities like singing, acting, and reciting lines, and emphasizes the values of joy, sharing, and creativity during Christmas celebrations. For instance, children are encouraged to embrace excitement about Santa and Christmas through songs and playful drills, setting a tone of exuberance permeating throughout the collection.
