The Christmas season comes and goes each year, leaving behind a spirit of joy and happiness amongst loved ones.  Even if one is unable to be with family on this special holiday, a close knit friend would suffice.  In the "Christmas Sketches", Geoffrey Crayon vividly depicts the nature and style of how spending Christmas in the land of his forefathers with an old fellow-traveler sparked an image in his eye of true love.
