A personal essay laments money misfortune amid a booming economy while cherishing holiday wishes. The speaker notes income fluctuations, the struggle to save, and the impracticality of cash in a credit age, ending with a satirical wish that postmen drop dead delivering December bills.
Frances Craig shares a December diary of Christmas prep in Dalton and nearby towns. She narrates last minute photo efforts for the community chorus, church plans, a courthouse farewell for Edith Oldershaw and I. L. Pindell, and a humorous rabbit tale at the breakfast table.
The narrator notes seasonal sensitivity to money during Christmas and a spouse who dreams she is married to a wealthy figure with extravagant riches. Denial of spending leads to delayed bills and a New Year financial nightmare, as easy charging worsens debt.
The piece notes greeting cards evolved from 19th century designs lacking holiday symbols to later religious subjects. Early cards featured roses portraits of young ladies and robin motifs on icy branches with Kate Greenaway pin ups and single figures from her drawings.
