A
It was late afternoon, cold and snowy. Mrs. Jones walked along the street carrying two large shopping bags. Her feet were hurting. She couldn’t wait to get home.
A few days before Christmas, everyone was busy shopping for the big day. “It’s so tiring,” thought Mrs. Jones as she hurried along the street. “I don’t like Christmas.”
As Mrs. Jones passed the fruit and vegetable shop, the door opened and a man hurried out carrying a large Christmas tree. As he passed her, the smells of the tree came to her. In that moment, she started thinking about a Christmas many years ago. She and her sisters Rose and Lily helped her father bring a large Christmas tree from the woods into a warm house. The house was full of laughter and the smells of Christmas. Her father made his girls a beautiful doll’s house.
She remembered the excitement of that Christmas morning as she and her sisters danced around their wonderful new toy. That Christmas, they skated on the lake in their red coats with warm gloves. Mrs. Jones smiled at the memories. It was just like yesterday.
Mrs. Jones took a deep breath of the smells of Christmas. It was so long since she called her sisters last time. “As soon as I get home, I’ll call them and wish them Merry Christmas.” she thought.
