Stories of generosity
There is no better way to start this journey into the past than with tales of generosity. The act of being generous is not a current phenomenon, and to show us how this message was conveyed 100+ years ago, we have two beautiful stories:
- Papa Panov - Leo Tolstoy, Ruben Saillans

Stories of reward from hard work
The message that hard work and responsibility are a must to reach our goals is timeless. Hard work is needed not only to obtain monetary rewards but also to improve yourself as a person. We have four stories that teach us how our life can change for the better if you work on it:
- Becky's Christmas Dream - Louisa May Alcott
- Toinette and the Elves - Susan Coolidge
- The Shepherd who Didn't Go - Jay T Stocking
- Mother Holle - Brothers Grimm
Stories of innocence and hope
To be able to look at the challenges of life through a child's eyes can change how we view ourselves and treat others. Thanks to Louisa May Alcott and Elizabeth Harrison, we will be able to get in touch with our inner child and instill hope in our lives.
- Little Gretchen and the Wooden Shoe - Elizabeth Harrison
- Tilly's Christmas - Louisa May Alcott
Miscellaneous
We wrap up with four short stories from various authors that share different messages such as the dangers of being conceited and the importance of showing gratitude:
- Christmas Everyday - William Dean Howells
