Summary "Yuletide Entertainments" by Ellen M. Willard is a collection of Christmas recitations, monologues, drills, tableaux, and songs written in the early 20th century. The book is designed to provide festive performances suitable for all ages, particularly focusing on enhancing the Christmas spirit through entertaining and educational methods. It aims to engage children and adults alike in celebrating Christmas with creativity and joy. The opening of "Yuletide Entertainments" introduces the reader to a rich array of festive content, starting with an informative introductory section that emphasizes the importance of precision in performances. This is followed by a compilation of Christmas-themed recitations, including poems like "Christmas Every Day," where a little girl wishes it could always be Christmas, leading to unexpected consequences. The text also features dialogues and monologues that reflect different aspects of the holiday, such as Christmas shopping through the eyes of a young boy in "Fred's Christmas Shopping," and reminiscences of Christmas traditions in "In Grandma's Day." Overall, the opening sets the tone for a vibrant exploration of holiday entertainments intended to inspire joyous celebrations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
