Christmastide is an amazing period of time: one year comes after another, and it seems that all the sorrows will remain in the past, and the future, which reveals its secrets, will be filled with goodness and justice. This festive atmosphere instills faith in the possibility of miracles. Christmastide stories have always been popular with readers, and many famous authors have turned to them. The collection publishes stories and novellas by Russian writers of the 19th–20th centuries — A. A. Bestuzhev-Marlinsky, V. I. Dahl, D. V. Grigorovich, A. P. Chekhov, I. A. Bunin, and others, united by the theme of Christmastide. N. S. Leskov gave one of the most famous definitions of a Christmas story: it is “absolutely required that it be timed to coincide with the events of the Christmas Eve - from Christmas to Epiphany, that it be somewhat fantastic, have some kind of moral, at least like a refutation of a harmful prejudice, and finally - that it certainly ends cheerfully ... it must be a true incident!” And at the same time, the “diversity” of the plot and philosophical content of Christmas stories testifies to the absence of any strict canons: the works included in this edition demonstrate the diversity of the authors' approaches to the Christmas theme.
