The Unexpected Gift by Janet Koch, December 2012
On Christmas Eve, a family grown distant from each other has an unexpected, and mostly unwanted, teenaged guest. Will the boy push the family farther apart? Or will he bring them back together?
A stranger spends Christmas Eve with the Gilman family and shows them more than they bargained for in this wonderful holiday short story.
I’m a sucker for a good Christmas story, and this sounds like a good one. Thanks for letting me know about it.
