Aqui en este breve cuento John Cheever analiza la caridad en plena Navidad y la cuestiona. Charlie es ascensorista y le toca trabajar en navidad; Charlie está resentido con el mundo y por eso usa la navidad para de alguna vengarse por encontrarse solo en esta época tan "feliz". Es un cuento anti-navidad y Cheever aqui destila ironia y mala leche contra la hipocresia navideña.

From BBC Radio 4:
Martin Freeman reads John Cheever's classic Christmas tale about the power of giving. On Christmas day Charlie, a down on his luck lift attendant, laments his lack of upward mobility. But the generosity of the residents in the wealthy New York apartment building where he works takes him by surprise. A cautionary tale of generosity, indulgence and the law of unintended consequences.
