Christmas--the word itself bespeaks a kindlier feeling toward our fellow men! It is the author's earnest wish that every one who reads this book may be kindled with some of the joy that was his when he came in contact with some of the people in and from other lands and obtained the fascinating stories concerning each individual group as related in these pages. In addition, the chapters reveal inspiring facts and fancies gathered over a period of years from personal experience and from obscure books---all bound to stir up many thoughts which will make of Christmas an ever-new holiday.
