In the midst of a bustling Christmas week at La Belle Prairie, Fanny anticipated a restful break from school, only to find herself immersed in a whirlwind of festive activities. From elaborate preparations in the kitchen under Aunt Tibby's skilled hands to the joyful chaos of children's surprises and heartfelt gifts, Christmas unfolded as a cherished jubilee for all. Maud, despite her aversion to sewing, diligently crafted a pin-cushion for Aunt Phœbe, guided by Fanny's patient assistance. Amidst merry marches and lively parties, the celebration culminated in a lively evening at Colonel Turner's, where laughter, games, and a rustic supper brought warmth to the wintry night, leaving indelible memories of holiday cheer and community spirit.
