Daffodowndilly

by A. A. Milne

And shook her yellow head,
And whispered to her neighbour:

Christmas Every Day by William Dean Howells is a witty, warm, and quietly sharp tale about a little girl who wishes for nonstop Christmas… and discovers why some traditions are best kept once a year.

    What horror! My premise was innocent enough, a simple attempt to lend a Poe-like atmosphere to the old story The Night Before Christmas. But as I wrote, the poem took on a life of its own, as if some intelligence not my own had seized the pen.
