19. ‘At Christmas Time’ by Anton Chekhov
We finished gift shopping a week ago, did you think we would leave food shopping for the last minute? Especially with more restrictions looming over London, and people might start stockpiling again…
I can’t believe Christmas Eve is only 5 days away! But we’re all ready. Let it…snow.
Ah, the Chekhovian short story! The open ending, the ordinary people, the little twist… and a Christmas miracle. It's so very well written and immersive that although I knew the ending from the very first line (I know Chekhov’s recipe) it was still a lovely experience.
