After your stocking is empty and before your Christmas nap, have yourself a merry little Christmas by Injunction with this short story by O. Henry. It was first published one hundred years ago for Christmas, 1907.

“In Yellowhammer the empty storeroom had been transformed into what might have passed as the bower of an Arizona fairy. The ladies had done their work well. A tall Christmas tree, covered to the topmost branch with candles, spangles, and toys sufficient for more than a score of children, stood in the centre of the floor.”
