If you were away from your family on Christmas Day, what would you do? Well, the first year this happened to Colonel D. Austen Crockett, he moped around feeling sorry for himself. In his own words, it was "the miserablest night I ever spent in all my born days". But the next year when it happens again, Colonel Crockett comes up with a clever idea.This short story is actually two letters to Colonel Crockett's wife with a commentary from an 'editor' in-between the letters. I loved reading the Texan slang, and I'm purdy sure there was some exaggeration somewheres, especially when Col. Crockett reports that "the fire department was called and played the hose on the crowd. This thinned 'em off a bit on the outsquirts". A cute story.

Colonel Crockett CoOperative Christmas Rupert Hughes 9781313193795 Books Reviews
I was actually rather shocked this wasn't written by Mark Twain! It really feels like his style. Full of down-home humor and hyperbole, we watch as a man left to his own devices for Christmas decides he's just going to invite all of New York to a party. And damn near all of New York shows up!
I listened to several Christmas short stories this year, and this one comes closest to actually feeling in line with a modern holiday spirit. Togetherness and giving, and a bit of inebriation to make it all work well. It makes you want to throw your own co-operative Christmas!
great
This was a fun, quick read. I tend to gravitate toward inspirational stories in which the main character sees a problem and does his best to fix it.
Language a bit odd, but it was short, and I really wanted to find out how he pulled it off. Amazing!
Excellent book and shipping was fast
A heart-warming short story about a Texas millionaire alone in New York on Christmas. As he thinks about it, he realizes that there must be many others alone in the city. The following Christmas he does something about it. There are several allusions to authors and other people who were well known in the early 1900's. I enjoyed identifying these people but it is not necessary to identify them in order to enjoy the story. This review is from the free e-book published March 17, 2011.
