What a lovely story, in its way. I was not familiar with it, except for the carol. If only Christians could remember what Christ said, we would see a very different country where I live.
Thank you 🙏 I’m so glad you liked the story. To be Christ-like and “have the mind of Christ” is very different than simply “being a Christian”. The former takes true love and devotion along with spiritual maturity the latter is as easy as putting on a sweater.
Enriching and also terrifying. It's heartbreaking to be reminded across history of how grievously we have abused greed and power. Thank you for this retelling, Jan.
Yes...it would be nice to carry on the tradition in some way.
I have friends in Cornwall who celebrate it every year--walking to the Sea with neighbors and their dogs, breakfast and some sort of community service.

Loved this story, Jan, and passed it on to a few. Thanks so much.
So glad you found this interesting and enjoyable. Thanks so much for passing it on and introducing others to the story and my writing.
Another wonderful "story of the season," Jan. I've really enjoyed them this year!
And have posted some on the OBOD community page--The Druid Hearth.
How appropriate--happy Boxing Day🎁
Thank you so much for sharing my posts! And Happy Boxing Day to you, 🎁I wish we observed that here in the US but alas we’re back to business as usual.
