A little about the story
Christmas is coming, but an old couple's grown-up children are all too busy to come home: the daughters have hordes of youngsters to make Christmas for, and John is a busy broker with a beautiful society wife. Meanwhile a young man among gay, careless friends feels a strange Christmas glow he can't explain.
A Yule log, a few wishing sparks and a change of heart might bring people together after all. Leona Dalrymple's short, warm Christmas story is about family, loneliness and the real meaning of friendship.
