A Whiter Shade of Christmas (Great Jones Street Originals)

by Taylor Grant

[Quirky Cat]

I’m conflicted about this one. On the surface it appears to be a heartwarming Christmas tale of a man overcoming his grief by reaching out and helping others. On the other hand, it doesn’t look terribly kindly on the homeless (though it also doesn’t tear them down, more like slightly across the neutral line) and it arguably has some other issues as well.
On a positive note, it did help to bring awareness to how many homeless are veterans, something society as a whole too easily overlooks. So I appreciate the author for making the attempt to remind us that they are just as human as you or I.
