I'll be Home for Christmas
by Robert Anderson
Synopsis
THE STORY: I’LL BE HOME FOR CHRISTMAS is light and humorous, but at base it is serious and touching as it shows a mother and father discussing the sex education of their almost-adult children, a girl and boy.
The father is quite moving when he learns in a letter that his son is cutting adrift from the parental harbor.
