'We were ushered into this banqueting scene with the sound of minstrelsy, the old harper being seated on a stool beside the fireplace and twanging his instrument with a vast deal more power than melody. Never did Christmas board display a more goodly and gracious assemblage of countenances.'First published in 1820 in Irving's masterpiece,
The Sketch Book,
The Christmas Dinner is a charming tale by the great American writer behind such timeless classics as
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and
Rip Van Winkle. Painting the scene of a Christmas dinner spent at the table of Bracebridge Hall, a countryside manor, the merry songs and stories of the dinner table echo with jollity of Christmases long past.
