>"Al diavolo il Natale con tutta l'allegria! O che altro è il Natale se non un giorno di scadenze quando non si hanno soldi; un giorno in cui ci si ritrova più vecchi di un anno e nemmeno di un'ora più ricchi; un giorno di chiusura di bilancio che ci dà, dopo dodici mesi, la bella soddisfazione di non trovare una sola partita all'attivo?

Few winter stories are more affecting than Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Match Girl. Written in 1848, and strictly speaking a New Year's Eve story, it showed so clearly then, as it does now, that the Christmas holidays do not represent fireside, food, and presents for all.
