I mean, it took me an hour to shovel his sidewalk, and what do I get for it? ‘You missed the second step, Isaac. You didn’t get all the way to edge.’ Mr. Hanson is a total grinch!

She didn’t feel like celebrating Christmas. Dad knows how much I want a tree, she thought, and he let me down.

When Mary and Joseph got to Bethlehem, all they could find was a stable. They probably just had straw.” Stella sighed. “Yeah, well, at least they had the gifts the wise men brought them.

Nicole held her candy at arm’s length and stared at it. “I don’t really see what candy canes have to do with Christmas,” she said, “except that it’s the time of year when you always see lots of them.
