"In appearing again before the public, the author has to extend her heartfelt thanks for the kindness with which 'Easter holidays at Cedar Grove' was received, not only in this country, but in England. ... She has attempted to cull out from the mass of scattered information respecting Christmas-tide such matter as may be pleasant and profitable. Of course, precedence was due to the ceremonies and sports of olden time in our mother-land, but she trusts no descendant of Dietrich Knickerbocker can complain that honor has not been given to St. Nicholas and his appropriate festivals of Kerstydt and Nieuw Jar."--Preface, p. [5]-6, dated August, 1858. Includes notes with bibliographical references on p. [231]-243.
