Very cute but a bit sad Christmas story. I like that it was about inter generational friendship. I read this with a bunch of other Capote short stories in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and at first I wasn’t crazy about his stories but there is a simple nostalgia about it. It’s like a looking glass to a different time.  I like that his characters are sort of characters but they’re also normal people.
