I read the little match girl and felt chillled to the bones. I can't see the christmas spirit, nobody came to help her, there was no benevolant spirit who saved her life and instead she died, cold and alone. I thought it was just sad (sad int he tear sprouting way not that other slang way in which we soemtimes use sad and pathetic interchangeably, good story just sad and so unlike most christmas stories that are happy).

[Stanislaw]

It is really sad, (I always shed a tear everytime I read it...call me a sissy if ye will) But in the end she does get what she most desires, freedom from her horrible life. It is a real bitter sweat story.

[Jester]

yeah it is.... i just find those kinds of stories more sadder then reality... I'm still confused about the christmas spirit in it though.

[Stanislaw]

She got her fondest wish, to live with her Grandmother in a happier place. AKA, heaven. I think the stroy although it be sad, is about perservearance and reward for living a noble and holesome life.

[Jester]

how do we know this girl lived a noble and wholesom life.... its unclear on that note? but i think about perseverience and maybe even that we should not look at death in such a sad way and thinking of it as the end.
