After twenty-seven years of marriage - and twenty-seven years spent with an artificial Christmas tree - Edward and Annie finally purchase a fresh pine. When they bring the tree home, however, the presence of the ample Scotch pine suddenly stirs a range of emotions in this long-married couple.
Tangled is a powerfully moving, compact short story from our Nibs line that captures the deeper essence of the Christmas spirit.
