"A Christmas Memory", by Truman Capote, has long been my favorite Christmas story. Capote was one of the great American storytellers, and this semi-autobiographical story about a young boy and his aunt making fruitcakes for the holidays never fails to make me cry a little. I'm thinking about it this year as I embark on my own Christmas baking adventure. Written in the fifties, the story might seem somewhat dated in its language, but as a bittersweet story of friendship it is timeless. Enjoy.
