"Christmas Eve" is a short story written by Edward Everett Hale. It was first published in 1867 and has since become a classic holiday tale. The story is set in Boston on Christmas Eve and revolves around the protagonist, Mr. Tudor.

The narrative unfolds as Mr. Tudor, a wealthy and self-absorbed man, finds himself stranded in the city due to a snowstorm. Unable to reach his destination, he reluctantly decides to spend Christmas Eve at the Tremont Street Chapel, a local church. There, he encounters various characters, each with their own stories and struggles.

As the night progresses, Mr. Tudor undergoes a transformation, moving from a state of indifference to a deep sense of compassion and understanding. The people he meets at the chapel, including a poor woman and her sick child, challenge his preconceived notions and open his eyes to the true meaning of Christmas.

The central theme of "Christmas Eve" is the transformative power of empathy and kindness, illustrating how the spirit of Christmas has the ability to soften even the hardest hearts. Edward Everett Hale's story encourages readers to reflect on the importance of compassion, generosity, and human connection during the holiday season.
