Christmas poem, 1860. Creator: Unknown
Christmas poem, 1860. A happy Christmas-tide to every one! Though from the festal board some guests are gone. And yet not gone, for to each vacant place There cometh one who hath an angel's face! And there is left a store of life and love, Links which unite us here to those above. A Happy Christmas-tide! And let the poor Turn with a thankful heart from ev'ry door. If in our hearts there's strife with kin or friend, For Jesu's sake, let the contention end. So, ere the year is hidden neath its pall, Thank we the Lord, to be at peace with all'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860

EDITORS COMMENTS
This beautiful and evocative poem, published in the Illustrated London News in 1860, captures the essence of the Christmas spirit. The image accompanying the poem is a engraving, likely created by George Louis Palmella Busson Dumaurier or one of his contemporaries. The design features a traditional Christmas scene, with a table laden with festive fare, including plum pudding and punch. In the foreground, a young boy raises a glass in a toast, while a group of well-dressed men look on, some with mugs of ale in hand. Despite the absence of some guests from the table, the poem reminds us that their places are not truly vacant. Instead, an "angel's face" takes their place, symbolizing the enduring presence of loved ones, both living and deceased. The poem also encourages kindness and peace during the holiday season, urging us to turn a thankful heart to those in need and to let go of any strife with kin or friends. The engraving's intricate blackletter script adds to the poem's old-world charm, transporting us back to a time when Christmas was celebrated with hospitality, warmth, and tradition. Whether enjoyed with a glass of liquor or a cup of punch, this beautiful print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the Christmas message of love, peace, and goodwill towards all.
