The Christmas Event is an amateur six to seven minute long short story about a guy whose parents were killed when an overpass collapsed on them during a snowstorm they shouldn't have been driving in. He has left his Christmas shopping until the last minute, there's a really heavy snow storm that's getting worse and worse, his wife, his friends all tell him forget about it, just come home or get the gifts on boxing day.  There's also a number of missing words and typos throughout the text. Spell check obviously wasn't used.  If the author had been able to come up with an ending that wasn't lazy and predictable he may have been able to save this but as it stands, I'd read one of the thousands of other short stories this Christmas.
