She hadn't done Christmas in almost eight months.
She'd given him a Gone With The Wind
Halloween and a Fourth of July with whistling busters, panoramas,
phantom balls, and double-break shells, but those were only stopgaps.
The man needed cookies, he needed presents, he was absolutely aching for
a sleigh filled with Christmas cheer.
A quote from the short story by James Patrick Kelley the Best Christmas Ever. Kelley
presents a story of the last remaining man, and his heart ache for someone to share
Christmas with. The story is modeled after Capra's Wonderful Life.
Caveat Lector: Some of the material is not suitable for young children, but the
overall feel is fantastic.
