"Something Special: A Christmas Story" by Cole Parker

[Rutabaga]

I was pleased to see this charming short story highlighted as a "Pick from the Past," and surprised that (as far as my searching revealed) there was never a thread started for the story.

I wasn't sure at first whether it was an authentic Cole Parker piece because it's not set in Comic Sans. ?

It's a charming and fairly archetypal story of its genre, and of course readers are left wanting more.

Good show.

Thanks, Rut.

I don't write everything in Comic Sans. Just most everything. The font feels a bit whimsical, perhaps irreverent, a bit humorous, less that formal or serious. Most of my stories have that same sort of feel. When they don't, perhaps I'll use a different font.
