Merry Christmas! This was such a gripping story, and I love how the happy memories came back at the end.

The childhood Christmas that springs to mind is the time a storm knocked the power out for 3 days. We spent almost the entire time in the living room, where we had a small wood burning stove so could keep warm and cook. It was cosy, but winter back home is dark and there’s only so much you can do by candlelight and paraffin lamp, so we were very glad when the power came back! 😂

Wow, a true to life old-fashioned Christmas! That sounds lovely, although perhaps not the most comfortable. 😅 We also had a wood-burning stove and a stock of candles during my childhood for that very reason!
