The Burglar's Christmas

In Willa Cather’s “The Burglar's Christmas”, a young drifter finds himself alone on Christmas Eve, penniless and starving.

When he is caught in the act by the lady of the house, they both come to a terrible realization. The burglar’s desperate act leads to a transformative act of holiday love and charity.
