On Decorating the Christmas Tree

“We are going to decorate the tree,” said the mother who lugged the tree across the room on the Nineteenth of December.

“We can be like one of those happy families on T.V. who laugh and smile too much,” said her eleven-year-old son.

“Yep, we can even drink hot chocolate and sing Christmas carols," she said.

“Now that is crossing a line. I don’t do carols,” said the pre-teen.
