Two Christmas Stories

I’m making two earlier Christmas stories from this blog sticky and linking them here. I may manage to write a new Christmas story, but these two have been on my mind today.

There are at least two ways of going off the rails with charity. One is becoming a scrooge–a stick in the mud, miserable person who can’t celebrate. The other is to become so charitable that you miss important things at home.

How Scrooge Got It All Wrong tells a different story of Scrooge than you’re used to, but one that leads more logically to the way Christmas is celebrated today.

Not a Christmas Carol tells the story of a woman who is so charitable she doesn’t have time for her daughter’s needs.
