Such a sweet story that made my heart glow! "The Christmas Kid! ", an orphan boy who has come to stay for the holiday with "the first-citizen" (the stodgy bank president who has so carefully set himself above everyone and certainly above Christmas festivities) and his wife ("Aunt Judith" who has such a need to give the love that is languishing and aching in her heart).
