Excerpt from Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern
The quiet Village of Seven Oaks exhibited that neat and cleanly aspect so often admired by visitors to this country When passing through our more orderly rural districts. The trimmed hedgerows, whitened door-steps, and glistening Window-panes, With the prim and happy old people passing about making preparations for the morrow, pictured forth a delightful scene of order and contentment.
Fatigued With my walk, I retired to rest early. A bright moon was shining into my chamber, and through the Window I could see lights mov ing about the apartments of Knowle House,'

Excerpt from Christmas Carols, Ancient and Modern
Some years ago I walked down to Seven Oaks, in Kent, to enjoy the blessed Christmas. This village is one of a few in the vicinity of London uncontaminated by a railway with its crowd of giddy visitors from the great city.
I had just returned from abroad, after a long residence there, and even the minor observances and customs of the season possessed a pleasing novelty and charm. As I passed through Bromley I observed the shops, filled with viands for the great yearly feast, decorated with the emblems of the season.
The little cottage on the road-side had its sprigs of holly in the window, and ruddy children stood at the door with faces that betokened how near was the general holiday.
