This is an ideal read for the season. It has all the Christmas cheer, the setting, having faith, hope and goodwill and living life joyfully despite facing hardships.
It’s a short story about a seven-year-old boy and his sixty-something lady cousin who would call him Buddy.
They both are best friends and are enthusiastic about celebrating Christmas, although they are very poor. They are passionate about the festival, they plan for it, work hard to make treats, get the tree on their own and happily exchange gifts.
Movies based on Christmas nowadays, rather depict people from an economically sounder background. The hardships faced by poor families are what is portrayed in this story.
A short simple sweet yet poignant read, I am sure people will love to read this season!
