Aunt
Jill
What’s it like
to live 14 years and never know a white Christmas?
And not care? That only introduces this story
told by a girl named after her eccentric, resourceful,
and maybe just plain crazy aunt. It’s
one particular, recent holiday when the annual
Jackson family Christmas party tried to whether
the storm of all the family personalities attending
the same Florida barbeque.

Angela Johnson
