A weary hotel guest on Christmas Eve battles insomnia as a towering siege of toy soldiers, hoops, and batteries bursts around his bed. In dreams the room becomes a battlefield, then a tranquil memory of a boy’s playroom and a distant memory of warmth and giving. He awakens to a burst of Christmas charity and a city street of merriment.
A nostalgic southern Christmas recalls antebellum hospitality, plantation rituals, and family cooks preserving fruit cakes and recipes. Old darkies return for holiday duties, Santa visits, and village carols, yet the festivity wanes as war and change dull the old splendor.
A festive verse by W R Spencer invites joy and merriment for Christmas. The poem celebrates holiday greetings, holly, song, feast, and balls as a cheerful seasonal refrain.
A quirky collage of dialogue features a detective suspecting a crime, a request for a lawyer or adviser, and a boast about a city where nobody wears Sunday clothes on Sunday. Interjections from a small town visitor and playful banter mix with sports innuendo and social remarks.
