Book excerpt: A nice edition with 100 illustrations from a 1876 edition. Old Christmas was published in book form in 1876. It contains the five Christmas stories in Irving's Sketch Book, where he portrayed an idealized celebration of old-fashioned Christmas customs at a quaint English manor. These depicted English Christmas festivities that he experienced while staying in England, which had largely been abandoned. Irving is credited with helping shape the Christmas holiday in America much the way Dickens did in England with his Christmas Carol book.
