My Christmas Dinner

"My Christmas Dinner" follows a self-important narrator who turns down invitation after invitation — clerks and Cape wine, forgotten horseradish, a stockbroker's endless anecdotes — while waiting for one perfect, never-arriving Christmas dinner. His anticipation curdles into despair as Christmas Day passes, every door closes, and the beloved household he pined for turns out to be away. The story builds comic momentum through his increasingly theatrical self-pity, culminating in a deflating but deeply satisfying resolution.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
