Snow falls silently to the ground as youngsters join their father in the search for the perfect Christmas tree. The trees stand straight and tall as though waiting to be chosen.
"Over here!"
"Look at this one!"
The sound of an axe biting into wood rings out, and shortly the family returns to its home singing carols and laughing together. Mother has begun the long chore of baking for the holidays, and the myriad smells fill the warm cheery kitchen and beckon each one with promises of delicious goodies. The list is endless as mince and pumpkin pies, cookies, and cakes are mixed, baked, and set on the counter to cool.
The grown children are coming for Christmas with their own famiUes, and in the distance can be heard sleighbells as the horses pull their gift-laden burdens over the silver ribbons of road to their destination.
Coral Unit Has Night Out
"They're here! They're herel"
The welcome sounds on the night air, the words crisp and bright as the moon on the snow. The visitors unload their belongings and are bustled lovingly into the warm house. The tree is being set up in the parlor and the children are stringing the popcom for decorations. The new comers join in and add their nimble willing fingers to the busy hands already at work.
"What a beautiful tree!"
"Oh , look at the ornament Susie has madel"
"Johnny, how nicel"
