Meget relevant for vores tid også. Især den sidste sætning i novellen, hvor de river det huset ned for at undgå at fattige mennesker søger husly der.
Betjenten symboliserer også i høj grad samfundet i den tid, men faktisk også nutidens samfund med vores uvidenhed overfor at der er nogen i verden der har det værre end os.

Too sad. I'm reading a Christmas anthology and this story is in it. I'm seeing a trend in earlier christmas stories, they were sad, too sad for me. Unlike a Christmas carol, the majority so far don't have a happy ending or a message of hope, they are a vehicle to point out social and class differences and abuse of power. This story was just too sad for me.

Dejligt at slutte året af med en af julehistorierne fra min barndom. Karens Jul er tankevækkende, sørgelig og rørende. Med sit beskrivende sprog og sine finurlige personkarakteristikker af Karen, konstablen og barnet, formår Amalie Skram at få tårerne trille ned ad mine kinder hver gang jeg læser fortællingen.
En interessant lille sag både set i en human og litteraturhistorisk sammenhæng. Hurra for det moderne gennembruds sammenbrudsfortælling! Hurra for Skram!

En temmelig dyster julefortelling.

i read this in school when I was 15 or thereabouts so I knew what the story was about, but it is so heart-wrenching that it moved me to tears even so. Beautifully written, but so sad...

Short, sad and critical story of a poor woman's destiny.

Novellen er svært detaljert skrevet og passer fint som en julenovelle siden den kan få leseren til å tenke på de som har det likt som karen i julen
