No Place to Hide
“Trees were glittering merrily in the kitchen, hall, sitting room, and playroom, each laden with decorations the children (mostly ten-year-old Abby) had either made or helped choose during shopping expeditions locally and in town. Colored lights chased and flashed and twinkled all day and night, with trains hooting around the base of the playroom tree, and carols warbling from music boxes and dancing reindeer beneath the others. Abby and her friends had collected all sorts of greenery and berrie...s from the orchard and wilderness beyond to make wreaths for the doors, while Ben, Chantal, Nelly, and Neil had kept warm in the kitchen roasting chestnuts and making lists to send up the chimney to Santa. Even Matt’s study hadn’t escaped the festive spirit, with silver snowflakes sprayed on the windows, as they were throughout the rest of the house, two modest red felt stockings hanging from his corner mantelpiece with “Mum” and “Dad” embroidered on the fluffy tops, and his very own Advent calendar offering him a chocolate a day from each little window.MoreLess
