About this ebook

It's a beautiful Christmas day on Park Avenue, in Manhattan. Uniformed doormen adorned with epaulets like French generals greeted the family with huge smiles and pleasant, "How-do-you-do's?" Snow blanketed the city all day long making for a wonderful Christmas But the snow fell all day long, growing heavier and heavier.
When the electrical substation went out, no one noticed, but soon the next branch popped, then they falling like dominoes in a series of shut downs, leaving the city without power.
Up and down Park Avenue the windows were all dark. The candles came out but since everyone had stopped smoking, no one had a match.
With the entire building in the dark, little Melanie teaches the adults the meaning of Christmas this year.

    Christmas came upon Manhattan with a fresh snow fall for the first time anyone could remember.  There had been light dustings and such in previous years but the snows always came later in the season. This year they got a beautiful white blanketing for a magical holiday.

    The city felt and looked like Christmas.  Everywhere multicolored lights danced and twinkled with red and blue and green and yellow and orange, glistening through the steady fall of large white flakes, reflecting off the wondrous white surface. 

    The snow calmed the city.  Buses and cars moved about at a leisurely pace rarely seen in Manhattan.  The peace of the season had arrived.

    In Harlem children awoke with great smiles, eyes wide and glowing in joy.  In the projects and in the tightly packed row homes people somehow managed an extra little something this year making for plentiful presents beneath the tree.  In Greenwich Village poets felt inspired to write verse, and along Central Park West the wealthy awoke to a well garnished breakfast in
