Tom Smithers’s Christmas-Day

Tom Smithers's Christmas-Day follows a young barrister who finds himself penniless and uninvited on Christmas Day, forced to seek dinner through sheer nerve. Desperate, he gate-crashes the grand Tipton household, only to find a family gathering of icy formality, cold glances, and suffocating social pretension. Every attempt at warmth dies in that magnificent, freezing drawing room. What Tom really hungers for isn't food — it's the honest, unpretentious company of people who genuinely welcome him.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ririro-com-short-stories--6577582/support.
