Humor and Entertainment

It is our habit to re-read one of our favorite Christmas stories around Christmastime each year — aloud if anyone will listen, silently if not. Often as not, it’s A Christmas Carol, of which Emsworth never tires. Sometimes it’s one of Dickens’s lesser Christmas tales, sometimes O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi.” This Christmas Eve, we fell merrily back on P.G. Wodehouse’s only Christmas tale, “Jeeves and the Yule-Tide Spirit.”
