"Christmas, A Happy Time" by Alicia Catherine Mant is a charming tale aimed at young readers, written in the early 19th century. It captures the spirit of Christmas through the adventures of the Mortimer family as they prepare for the festive season. The story lovingly portrays family values, the excitement of reunions, and the joys of celebrating Christmas together. The narrative centers around the Mortimer children—Harriet, Elizabeth, John, and Frederick—as they eagerly anticipate the arrival of their brothers from school just before Christmas. The book explores their interactions, their curiosity about the world around them, and their reflections on kindness, charity, and family joy. As the children engage in various activities, from sledding on the ice to feeding birds, they learn valuable lessons about generosity, compassion, and community, particularly during the holiday season. The tale culminates in a festive Christmas gathering filled with warmth, laughter, and a commitment to helping those less fortunate, underscoring that Christmas is indeed a time for giving and togetherness.
