In the hush of a snow-covered morning or the festive hum of a family gathering, Christmas Day has always held a special allure for writers. From the cobbled streets of 17th-century London to the gilded halls of a 19th-century palace, the holiday has been the backdrop to countless personal narratives. “Christmas Diaries” is a small  collection of diary entries written on this cherished day.

I hope that these diairies remind you of the enduring magic of Christmas Day.
