Re-reading "It Was Christmas. And do you know where ..."

I've been searching U.S. libraries for years for Leacock's works to relive the laughter of my first reading -- particularly the attack up the parapets by the horde which had to retreat backwards. Can you steer me to copies of these works? I'm just dying to laugh like that again.
