Thank you both for your comments and thoughts.
Sorry beaufort but I think Charlie is staying... such a kitschy staple of American Christmas time that I feel it adds another layer to the character. "More" is days, months, years, holidays, Christmases... etc. It wasn't clear, no, but did that detract?
Interesting thought about "reminiscing" 71, I'll consider. And I think you just helped me like my title a lot more, thanks! ;D The story about your neighbor is really beautiful and sad, thank you for sharing. This one's for you, Richard, wherever you are.

Revision 2 posted. Minor things mostly but thanks to 71, beaufort, and Helospian.
Also, beaufort, I know I probably shouldn't say it, but believe it or not I wasn't even aware of that second definition of scuttle. Once I looked it up (thanks to you) it was almost creepy how perfect it was. Did my unconscious store away that meaning, or did the poetry gods intervene this time? Maybe just sometimes we all get lucky. ;D
