I think this works well during this week of Thanksgiving. In many ways, being grateful for what one has is a prayer in itself.
The piece also reminds me of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. I can't help but think of reading Christmas stories this time of year and I love a good Christmas ghost story! I have a tradition of reading Christmas books this time of year. Last year I picked up The Big Book of Christmas Mysteries. One section includes "A Scary Little Christmas". Because it is filled with stories and it's 650 pages, I didn't finish reading it last year. I can't binge read short stories or they all start to become one odd story.

It reminds me of A Christmas Carol too! I read that for Christmas a few years ago!
