"Mr. Wiggins went home with an over-flowing cookie basket..." ... I just have to ask, Anonymous Author. Is Mr. Wiggins married to Mrs. Wiggins of the Carol Burnett Show fame?

Nice "warm & fuzzy" story.
Best wishes to you in the contest.

One spinster teacher was remembered by her class in my school. She got snacks (and she needed them, that woman was scrawny) and useful items, and laughed until she cried at one prank gift, a set of knickers for a woman with an eighty inch derriere...excellent Christmas Flash Fiction!

This is a very heartwarming story. It would have been even nicer if someone would have invited him to join them for Christmas. Best wishes and good luck in the competition. Jen.

Your well chosen fifty words deliver quite an important message.
Christmas is a time for giving and sharing and remembering those who have little or nothing and no one to care.
Thanks for the timely reminder.
Blessings
