When Christmas Comes Calling
The house gets extremely busy when Christmas comes calling. Father although always at work before the day, never forgets to send beautiful ornaments to mother for decorating the house. Christmas is one of the best amongst all seasons of the year in my family. Personally, I love it more because I get to eat even above my satisfaction, and besides, it's that time of the year when I receive my best gifts.
It isn't rare to find mother running from one angle to the other, serving foods and drinks to friends and relatives of the family. Father doesn't rest either as he goes about shaking hands, talking and making sure the visitors are comfortable. Everything gets so perfect and few visitors often offer to help mother with her duties.
While the bustle goes on, all I get to do is eat, request for food, receive gifts from my admirers and watch everyone else work. I have always wondered why mother wouldn't let me help, because when I confront her, she keeps promising that I would when Christmas comes calling in the future! Hopefully the future isn't too far because I too want to get busy on Christmas day!
