Christmas is something you give away.
The first story is about noticing who is left out and doing something about it, even when it leaves your own tree a little bare. The second is about doing your part quietly, without needing anyone to see. Both are set in south Louisiana, and the bonfires are real: families still light them on the levees every Christmas Eve.

Do your job, even when no one is watching.
Out in the fog, Beignet brings back what fell, and asks for nothing.
Our traditions are worth knowing.
The levee bonfires are a real Louisiana Christmas Eve tradition.

The real Beignet
Beignet is a real white Lab who lives in Baton Rouge with Papa, Lucy, Lexi, and Timone the cat. The stories are imagined, but the family, the places, and the commands are all real.
