"Whenever I thought of the approaching Christmas (...), I thought of it as a pleasant, forgiving, beneficent, peaceful time; to the only time of the year when men and women open their closed hearts as one, and think of those poorer than them as fellow travelers on the journey to the grave, and not as some alien race traveling in a different direction.
