A Christmas story about remembering the poor, forgotten, and overlooked once a year by the Christmas fire. This grand story sets up the esteemed bickering Big Wig family as a guide to the laboring Nobody family, led by the named Legion, and nothing good comes of it. Legion's master discusses his losses in term of the poor and their habits and diseases. Legion points out it is one world; what happens to us happens to you. To the literary inclined, read John Donne's great poem about for Whom the Bell Tolls, it is for Thee. Another neglected but masterful Dickens story. Read by an American voice at listener request.
An elderly narrator's reminiscence of holidays past, each incident inspired by the gifts and toys that decorate the traditional tree. There is a range of appeal in the story itself, from snug memories of beloved toys to the passing along of eerie stories surrounding various childhood haunts.
