“Before long, he caught a hold of himself and concluded that nothing ever did happen again; to each was given days and chances which wouldn’t come back around. And wasn’t it sweet to be where you were and let it remind you of the past for once, despite the upset, instead of always looking on into the mechanics of the days and the trouble ahead, which might never come.”

What a nice little Christmas novella. Loved the quiet style. Loved the protagonist. Didn't love how short it was. I could read an infinite amount of pages if they all looked like they came from this book. Aye.
