This is a very short but sweet story that works perfectly as a little introduction to the Christmas season. The idea of the miserly old man learning the value of family around the holidays may be one I've seen before, but William John Locke's sense of humor elevates the story as he pokes fun at the three main characters throughout.

Three men travel to a country house for Christmas, but because of their car breaking down, they have to wait in a little hovel for rescuing. I don't want to say anymore or I'll give too much of the story away... I think the title is a big hint on what happens. It wasn't very complex and I didn't find the writing or the story outstanding, it is standard Christmas fare... not even heartwarming in my opinion. I think this can be skip without anything missing in your litterature's knowledge.
