It seems too far away to some, though it's in acuality but a few short weeks until Christmas. My all-time favorite story, A Christmas Carol is online at this link.
Literature.org - Christmas Carol
Which holiday tales are your favorites?
I read it for my first time last year (figured I should get around to it). I've always liked Dickens.
Most Christmas story collections also include The Gift Of The Magi, by O Henry. I guess movies and songs are where the real action is to most of us. I like it all.
Over the years my faith has dwindled and my sentimentality has increased.
God bless us, every one.
Though I am an atheist, Christmas is a special time to me. It embodies the hopes and ideals people should strive for the year around. When I hear anyone badmouth the season I pity them.
