Under the Holly Bough

"Under the Holly Bough" is a Christmas short story centred on Clementine, a warm-hearted girl who listens closely as old milkman Pietro describes his homeland's tradition of sharing meals and forgiving old wrongs at Christmas. Moved by his words, she sets out to help her school friend Gladys — a quietly dignified girl who keeps house for her struggling father. What neither girl suspects is that the two men in their lives were once the closest of friends, torn apart by an old quarrel that has kept both families in the cold far too long.
