Matches, Streets Of New York, And A Precious Child
For those of you out there who look for a favorite story to read each Christmas,
may I suggest The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Anderson?

A glimpse, and more, of love, dedication, purity, and devotion will call out to you.
Also present, in the shadows, fear, cruelty, and poverty will raise their ugly hands ominously towards you.

Miraculous scenes of true Christmas joy will beckon you.
The climax of triumph and exaltation will overcome you.

What a masterpiece of sorrow and joy!

Consider giving this one a read. 
Who knows, it may become YOUR favorite Christmas story!
