2 THE PEPPER POT Christmas Christmas! magic word. Lovely gifts, congenial friends, white snow, green pine and hemlock trees, ringing, joyful bells, plump, brown, roast turkey, Santa Claus, parties, sleigh rides, oceans of nuts, candy and pop corn; more parties, more gifts, more company, more fun; mistletoe, dancing lights on Christmas trees, sparkling tinsel, blue, red and green balls, cheerful candles, more snow, wreaths, music, laughter, illuminated houses, new friends, crackling fire in brick fireplaces—all these happy things rise before one’s eyes when Christmas is mentioned. One sees again all the members of his family from grandfather down to the baby. Mary brings home two college friends and Charles brings three fraternity brothers. The married members of the family arrive with all their children. Bachelor uncles and maiden aunts come from all parts of the country. There are twelve for Christmas dinner. The gifts exchanged afterwards are many and lovely. Even the cat, Lucretia, has a catnip mouse provided by the thoughtful family. The floor is strewn with boxes, cards, bright colored ribbons and tissue paper. Every member of the family has his gifts around him. Everyone is speechless with delight. This silent state does not last for a long interval, however. In the evening the younger people attend one of the local parties. As the girls come hurrying down the stairs, their faces alight with anticipation, their pretty colored evening gowns, their ridiculous little, high heeled slippers clicking on the bare floor, the older members smile reminiscently and caution them to be home at a reasonable hour. When Mary calls back, her voice coming over the crisp white snow, “We’ll be home for breakfast,” the family smile again and return to the cheery fireplace.
