"Christmas Tales" refers to a collection of stories that celebrate the themes of Christmas, such as love, generosity, and the spirit of giving. These tales often feature characters like Santa Claus, elves, and reindeer, and they are commonly shared during the holiday season to spread joy and warmth. Many of these stories have become classics, including Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol," which tells the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his transformation after encountering three spirits. Other popular tales include The Night Before Christmas and various adaptations of The Nutcracker, each contributing to the rich tradition of Christmas storytelling.
