When Christmas comes calling
Does anyone notice Christmas have a smell? Probably a taste too?
Solomon was promoted early this year and that has also added to his work load. He came home late again and still worked all night again sending messages and replying mails and he still had to be in the office before 7:00am.
He had also assured his wife that things will get better soon; he just need to work harder and be promoted. By then he won't have to work this much.
This is what they prayed for, to have a better life. Hence, the promotion offered them one but they didn't bargain for time away from the family.
It's been 3 days since the kids last saw their dad. By the time he steps into the house they are already asleep and before they wake up he's gone.
But today he stepped out the house, a cool breeze brought along with it that Christmas "smell" and he remembered what it meant to be a family. So today he waited for the kids to wake up before he left for work.
