Ally reads The Red Room, a short story by HG Wells, which was published in 1896.
This isn't technically a Christmas story, but Wells didn't write any Christmas-themed stories (that we could find), so we are substituting a ghost story. Apparently telling ghost stories around the fire was a British Christmas Eve tradition.

Ally reads the essay "Christmas" by Washington Irving, which appeared in The Sketchbook of Geoffrey Crayon, along with Rip Van Winkle and Sleep Hollow. Irving's portrayal of Christmas in England was very influential in the development of American Christmas traditions.
We'll have another one of his Christmas stories tomorrow.
