Christmas in 1776
By Anne Hollingsworth Wharton | Narrated by Andy Andrews
Listen Here
Christmas in 1776 by Anne Wharton offers a quieter, more reflective look at one of the most uncertain moments in American history. As the Continental Army faces hunger, exhaustion, and doubt, this short poem captures a Christmas defined not by celebration, but by resolve. Narrated by Andy Andrews, this reading reminds us that some of the most important turning points are marked not by victory—but by perseverance, courage, and the decision to keep going when hope feels thin.
Discussion Questions
- 1)This poem presents Christmas during a time of fear and uncertainty rather than joy. How does that perspective change the way you think about the holiday itself?
- 2)What does the poem suggest about leadership and character when circumstances are at their worst?
- 3)Can you think of a time when continuing forward mattered more than immediate success? What helped you endure that season?
