### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meaningful holiday prose

Lovely Christmas gifts!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Capote writes with the pen of a poet!
*by K***R on January 28, 2024*

Winter, 1956“It’s always the same: a morning arrives in November, and my friend, as though officially inaugurating the Christmas time of year that exhilarates her imagination and fuels the blaze of her heart, announces: “It’s fruitcake weather! Fetch our buggy. Help me find my hat.”The person to whom she is speaking is myself. I am seven; she is sixty-something. We are cousins, very distant ones, and we have lived together—well, as long as I can remember.”And so, another shoestring adventure begins for Buddy, our narrator, his cousin Sook Falk, and Queenie, their little rat terrier, as off they scoot to gather windfall pecans - the first ingredient for dozens of fruitcakes that will be sent far and wide. But creating such a prize-winning confection requires many elements, whiskey being the most expensive and difficult to procure. Our band of bakers has saved every penny all year, and despite alcohol being considered sinful, they know just where to secure a bottle. After all, it isn’t fruitcake without a nip of the good stuff.“If you please, Mr. Haha, we’d like a quart of your finest whiskey.” His eyes tilt more. Would you believe it? Haha is smiling! Laughing, too. “Which one of you is a drinkin’ man?”“It’s for making fruitcakes, Mr. Haha. Cooking.”This sobers him. He frowns. “That’s no way to waste good whiskey.”Capote writes with the pen of a poet, and this touching short tale is a timely reminder that our fondest Christmas moments aren’t dependent on flashy falderal or glitzy goodies, but come from time spent with those we love who love us in return.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely

Hard to believe this same man wrote In Cold Blood. Not really though, character is character. No matter how many problems he had,he retained his and passed the other, more inspirational characters to us in his stories.This, the Christmas Memory story is a subtle description of a friendship that defies both age and gender and any other arbitrary categorization and speaks only of love, integrity, loyalty and tenderness.I remember a movie version of it on TV, one time, with Geraldine Page, I think, from 1960 something or maybe 1970. I just fell in love with its sweetness, simplicity and odd but true characters.
