The Holiday Re-Runs -- Favorite Holiday Stories?
Well, like in most things I can't pinpoint down to a single favorite, so I'll have to do a list of my top three.
1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Suess
I tell my family and friends all the time this is the second greatest redemptive story for the holidays. Everything in this story hinges on the moment when every Who down in Whoville (the tall and the small) comes out to sing the joy of Christmas in spite of their missing tinsel and presents. (Which incidently is why I don't like the live-action movie version. It totally changes the mood Ted Geisel was aiming for.)
2. The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry
One of the most beautiful, most sacrificing love stories every told. Period. The first time I read this I felt sad that the lovers would lose their cherished possession, but each reading since makes me happy for them to have found such love for each other that values the stuff so little ultimately in order to focus on the loved one instead.
3. The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Anderson
There's a tragic beauty to this incredibly sad story. If I can ever capture the pathos of tragedy in a story as well as Anderson does in this tale, I'll not have written a single word in vain.
