"Christmas Every Day" by William Dean Howells is a charming short story that offers a whimsical critique of the commercialism and routine of Christmas celebrations. The story centers around a little girl who wishes that Christmas could be every day of the year. Her wish is granted, and soon she finds herself overwhelmed by the constant repetition of holiday festivities. What initially seems like a dream come true quickly turns into a burden, teaching her (and the reader) that the true spirit of Christmas lies not in material gifts or endless celebration, but in meaningful moments and values like kindness and generosity. Through this light-hearted tale, Howells humorously explores the tension between the idealized version of Christmas and the more mundane reality.
