| 520 | _a"The Lighting of the Christmas Tree" by Josephine L. Palmer and Annie L. Thorp is a one-act play adapted from Selma Lagerlöf's "The Christmas Guest," and was published in the early 20th century. The play captures the spirit of Christmas, focusing on themes of hospitality, compassion, and redemption. Set against a backdrop of a Swedish manor house during the Christmas Eve, it unfolds the interactions between characters that highlight the contrasts between joy and sorrow during the festive season. The story follows Olga and her husband Liljekrona as they prepare to celebrate Christmas with their two young boys. The arrival of Ruster, a down-on-his-luck and alcoholic flute player, disrupts their plans, leading to tension as Olga wishes to protect her children from influence while also grappling with her conscience to show kindness. As the play progresses, the family members confront their feelings about Ruster’s presence and their neglect of the needy, leading to a poignant climax. With the arrival of Christmas, Ruster's return to the family's fold symbolizes hope and the potential for redemption through love and community, culminating in the heartwarming lighting of the Christmas tree and the rekindling of joy.
