The Ghosts
of Christmas Past
Christmas isn't just carols and Bing Crosby. SALON asked a group of young people who work with YO! (Youth Outlook) to write about their most memorable Christmases. As their recollections reveal, for all the emphasis placed on gifts, what matters most to children is what their parents do -- or don't do -- at Christmas time.
