Carol Bird was born on Christmas Day. Celebrating her birthday on Christmas each year delighted her and her family. Even though years later she becomes ill and bed-ridden, she continues to bring joy to those around her. Her last Christmas on earth she invites a less fortunate family to join her festivities.
I liked reading this shorter story but did not like how sadly it ended. Carol is an inspiring character, though. First published in 1886.
Spoiler alert & consideration: She dies that last Christmas.
-Borrowed via ILL.
