This collection brings together the two holiday stories Grace S. Richmond published about the Fernald family in 1908 and 1910. In the first, On Christmas Day in the Morning, the Fernalds gather for the first time after many years as a surprise for their elderly parents. In the second, On Christmas Day in the Evening, the Fernalds, now reunited themselves, work to also bring their community together by reopening the village church for a Christmas service that's focused on peace and forgiveness.
