Two stories from Saki, skewer the social obligations that surround Christmas.

Saki celebrates Christmas with two gently satiric stories on the giving and receiving of gifts.

A selection of classic English stories continues with a couple of short pieces from Hector Hugh Munro, better known as Saki, whose skill for skewering the manners and pretensions of the upper classes is turned on the business of giving and receiving Christmas presents.
