A sweet although unbelievable short story. However, it was set at Christmas time and magic, or a miracle is certainly needed by the Adams family who have been burned out of their home and captured by an Algonquin raiding party. I particularly liked the way Gallico infused the Christmas story with the Native American respect for nature and belief in the Spirit world.
