A Miserable Merry Christmas

by Lincoln Steffens

 

This is one of my all-time favorite Christmas stories. Maybe it’s because I, too, wanted a pony for many a Christmas (and still do, I guess). Maybe because, as a parent now, I wonder how I would handle the declaration from my own son that “I want this, or Nothing!” Either way, this little-known gem of a tale is worth hearing. I hope you enjoy it too, as my gift to you.

The Sick Note, and some family lore

I share a little of my off-beat Irish heritage in this story, along with a song, "The Sick Note," originally written by Pat Cooksey and performed by The Dubliners. This performance was given for the Littleton Chapter of Spellbinders volunteer storytellers.
