This fictional work captures the warmth and essence of Christmas within a familial and plantation context, revolving around the character of Polly, a spirited young girl who is cherished by her uncle, the Colonel, and her family.

showcasing a blend of humor and sentimentality typical of Page's writing. The narrative unfolds during a significant Christmas Eve, where Polly's charm and innocence shine through her interactions with her family and household staff. Central to the storyline is her attachment to Bob, a young man from the neighboring estate, who holds deep feelings for her.
