Christmas Eve Delivery by William S. Phillips
Phillips captures the spirit of the season with a heartwarming
Christmas Eve tale. “An unusual Christmas Eve snowstorm has descended
upon North Carolina bringing holiday travel to a near standstill,”
Phillips explains.“Highways and airports are closed, forcing travelers
to find shelter as the roads are cleared. For the fortunate family
who has checked into the Fuquay Mineral Spring Inn and Garden, it
will prove to be a most wonderful Christmas experience.
The Inn’s gracious owners, John and Patty Byrne, knowing their
guests disappointment at not spending Christmas Eve with loved ones,
have sent for a Christmas tree with all the trimmings to be delivered
to their room.A young boy with his faithful friend has volunteered
to provide the delivery service in his wagon. After an elegant Christmas
Eve dinner and some eggnog and spiced cider with cookies by the
fire, our stranded travelers will return to a room decorated with
the cheerful glow of a very special Christmas Eve tree.”
