• A Child’s Midwestern Christmas

In the run-up to Christmas, the point of the game has always been to find the parents' stash of not-yet-wrapped Christmas presents. But what a let-down it is if you actually find them! In these stories you experience Christmas in a rural Midwest town in the 1940s and 1950s. Six rowdy children approach The Day with a mixture of rampant greed, enforced piety, and a hunger for family traditions even as they are being created.
