Book Description
This novella is about the multi-century feud between two southern, probably, families. The Hampden and Drayton families had been fueding since early Colonial days. Like so many interfamily feuds, the original reason -- who had the most prestigious title, "Captain" Hampden or "Colonel" Drayton -- may seem silly on the surface of it to outsiders, like us. But, just as with the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud, there's nothing silly about it if you live in the middle of it. And so it was with Hampden-Drayton feud. Perhaps not as bloody as the Hatfields and McCoys, but no less contentious. In a surprise ending, as so often as happens in real life, it takes a child to bring the two families together at last, fittingly, on Christmas Eve. Fittingly, because what better present can Christmas bring than peace? Included in this Illustrated Edition of "The Christmas Peace" are 10 relevant illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book.

Book Description
They had lived within a mile of each other for fifty-odd years, old Judge Hampden and old Colonel Drayton; that is, all their lives, for they had been born on adjoining plantations within a month of each other. But though they had thus lived and were accounted generally good men and good neighbors, to each other they had never been neighbors any more than the Lévite was neighbor to him who went down to Jericho. Kindly to everyone else and ready to do their part by all other men, the Draytons and the Hampdens, whenever they met each other, always passed by on the other side. It was an old story—the feud between the families—and, perhaps, no one now knew just how the trouble started. They had certainly been on opposite sides ever since they established themselves in early Colonial days on opposite hills in the old county from which the two mansions looked at each other across the stream like hostile forts. The earliest records of the county were those of a dispute between one Colonel Drayton and one Captain Hampden, growing out of some claim to land; but in which the chief bitterness appeared to have been injected by Captain Hampden's having claimed precedence over Colonel Drayton on the ground that his title of "Captain" was superior to Colonel Drayton's title, because he had held a real commission and had fought for it, whereas the Colonel's title was simply honorary and "Ye sayd Collonel had never smelled enough powder to kill a tom-cat."

1. The Christmas Peace is a novella about a multi-century feud between two families. The Hampden and Drayton families had been feuding since early Colonial days. Like so many inter-family feuds, the original reason -- who had the most prestigious title, "Captain" Hampden or "Colonel" Drayton -- may seem silly on the surface of it to outsiders, like us. But, just as with the famous Hatfield and McCoy feud, there is nothing silly about it if you live in the middle of it. And so it was with Hampden-Drayton feud. Perhaps is was not as bloody as the Hatfields and McCoys, but it was no less contentious. In a surprise ending, as so often as happens in real life, it takes a child to bring the two families together at last, fittingly, on Christmas Eve. Fittingly, because what better present can Christmas bring than peace? 2. In A Captured Santa Claus by Thomas Nelson Page, enter a world of holiday enchantment and embark on a magical adventure alongside a group of spirited children. Set in a cozy village, this heartwarming tale unfolds as the children devise a plan to capture Santa Claus himself. With boundless excitement and imagination, the children set elaborate traps, decorating their homes with festive cheer to entice Santa's arrival. But little do they know that their mischievous plan will lead to an unexpected encounter with the jolly old man. As Santa Claus becomes their captive, the children soon realize that their intentions were misguided. In this delightful twist, Santa imparts invaluable lessons about the true spirit of Christmas, teaching them about generosity, kindness, and the joy of giving. Through Thomas Nelson Page's vivid storytelling, "A Captured Santa Claus" captures the wonder and joy of the holiday season. Readers will be transported to a world where the magic of Christmas comes alive, reminding us of the importance of love, compassion, and spreading cheer to others. Join the children on this whimsical journey as they learn the true meaning of Christmas and experience the transformative power of Santa's wisdom."
