"Two Christmas Celebrations" by Theodore Parker is a historical Christmas story that explores the meaning of Christmas and the importance of love through two connected parts. The initial part retells the birth of Jesus, placing it within the society of the time and contrasting ancient religious ways with new ideas. The story then shifts to Uncle Nathan and Aunt Kindly and their efforts to organize a Christmas festival, a celebration meant to bring together all people, no matter their place in society. Through their event, they want to help heal social divisions by creating a day full of music, games, and a Christmas tree with gifts for everyone, showing the true spirit of Christmas, which will lead to community, reconciliation, and joy.
