RE: Christmas with the Lincoln family in Springfield
If these were Xmas presents, the Lincolns truly were last-minute shoppers. Hankerchiefs for everyone, wow. Hallelujah. But I second Gene on the gloves...
Willie had one of the first toy trains. Perhaps it had been a Xmas present?

Maybe Xmas at the Lincolns' was like Xmas at the Waltons':
   

In England, servants received on Dec.26 (Boxing Day) "Xmas boxes" with presents. Was this a tradition in the US, too?
