It's Christmas, Carol! A
Sometimes Christmas is like pictured by the author: a messy period of the year. You wait for the best, and everything goes wrong. Personally it's more than 10 years that Christmas presents us always some little or big problems every year. I don't know when this curse will be over (last year we did not experience anything bad thinking better), I learnt with the time that at its arrival all problems fly away.
It's impossible not adoring this feast, for the simple fact that it presents magic, and it's plenty of magical signals: angels, Christmas Trees, colors, from music to Santa Claus, the birth of a Child: Christmas is the feast of light and good feelings, and just this present to people joy and serenity; just few people enjoy darkness after all.
Well, this story sums all these thematic together.
The main character Carol, hates Christmas because of a real sad fact happened during the Christmas Day. She was little, it was true, and so with the time she should have re-started to celebrate Christmas, but...Simply she could not. She hadn't the sufficient strength for thinking that Christmas was a beauty event.
That night Carol went to work, not wanting to celebrate Christmas as she did everyday, although that one was a special day. She will meet all along her way, in her workplace strange, weird workers; people she didn't know at all. A man with a white beard, other one who will cuddle her with delicious meals, other one who will be in grade to let her see at the end the beauty of the feast and simply all the magic of Christmas and the possibility, for every man or woman of a new beginning.
Beautiful. Not too much dialogue, a lot of narration plenty of suggestions.
Highly recommended.
