Token schmaltzy moment

Just in case you've been missing out on the spirit of Christmas a bit this year (and lord knows, you'll find little enough of it on my blogs most of the time - bah, humbug!)..... I thought some of you might like this rather charming story about a lonely old lady 'adopted' by teachers and kids from a nearby school (I found it on a blog recently recommended for the quality of its writing by the very wonderful Moonrat). I defy even the most curmudgeonly of you not to get a little warm feeling somewhere inside your torso on reading this.

Best wishes of the season to you all!!


(And, having experienced your token schmaltzy moment, you may now return to your usual curmudging - telling 4-year-olds Santa is in prison this year, pouring iced water on carol singers' heads, kicking Tiny Tim's crutches away, etc.....)
