Puck, v. 66, no. 1709
Suburban hospitality
A guest arrives at a suburban family’s home on Christmas Eve. The guest is welcomed and given a drink and a large meal where he carves the turkey. After the children are put to bed, he helps decorate the Christmas tree, reviews building plans while standing in the snow at midnight, and sleeps under a pile of blankets. He wakes at 5:00 a.m. on Christmas day to a “chorus” of children playing musical instruments and cries of delight over their Christmas presents. He is fed a huge breakfast, after which he pulls the children on their sleds. Finally, he announces that he must get back to the city and makes his departure, only to be left sitting on an outdoor bench, in the cold, at the “Welcomehurst” train station.
