  Mark Twain, born Samuel Clemens in 1835, was a celebrated American author, humorist, and social critic. Twain's life and writings are deeply intertwined with American history, capturing the essence of the 19th century and the spirit of the American West. Through his iconic works such as "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," Twain crafted vivid narratives that examined the complexities of human nature, tackled social issues, and provided incisive commentary on the American experience. 
   
  Twain's writings often drew inspiration from his own experiences and travels. As a young man, he worked as a steamboat pilot on the Mississippi River, an experience that shaped his understanding of the culture and people of the American South. This firsthand knowledge of the region and its idiosyncrasies found its way into his writing, bringing a sense of authenticity and regional flavor to his stories. Twain's vivid descriptions, witty dialogues, and memorable characters made his works beloved by readers of all ages. 
   
  Beyond his contributions to literature, Twain's legacy extends to his role as a keen observer of society and a master of satire. His sharp wit and social critiques exposed the flaws and hypocrisies of his time, challenging prevailing beliefs and prejudices. Twain's novel "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" remains a classic and a significant piece of American literature. It tackled issues of race and morality, presenting a scathing indictment of racism while showcasing the unlikely friendship between the white protagonist and the runaway slave, Jim. 
   
  Mark Twain's life, art, and writings continue to captivate readers and provide insight into the American experience. His humorous storytelling, memorable characters, and biting social commentary have secured his place as one of the most important and influential figures in American literature.

  Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

  Edward Everett Hale

  Here is a charming collection of stories, mostly set in New England in the 1800s, that depict how Christmas was celebrated then. 
   
  Seems that Christmas was not always a tree with dozens, if not hundreds, of gifts spread around the tree. Consumerism not being then what it is today, the gift might simply be a letter from a long-missing loved one, or simply the return through a blizzard of a husband who had left only hours ago on a mission of mercy. The relief of the anxiety of waiting for the person or merely news that the loved one had survived was often the best gift to be had. 
   
  There are sleigh rides, caroling through the night and selfless giving to fill one with the warmth and joy of the season. A true old-fashioned holiday treasure.
