This is a nice piece of evocative writing,Tom. I love "A Christmas Carol"! The Alistair Sims version of the movie is my favorite Christmas movie. I find the visions and resulting introspection in the story psychedelic.

Beautiful piece. Truly a beautiful blending of creative nonfiction. I didn't know Christmas time was difficult for you. I'm sorry. It is for me too. Spring is coming.

Lovely piece of Christmas cheer during these tough times. On an unrelated note, I noticed you are from my hometown of Mt. Vernon, NY. I was born in 1944 and left when I went off to Mich State for college. I went to AB Davis HS before it closed and there was a new high school. I went to Traphagen Elementary and Jr. High. I lived close to the school on Oakland Ave. I doubt we crossed paths but this is just a hi and message of goodwill from a fellow Mt. Vernonite.
