Y’know—guy stuff. Now I’ll only get to be with him every other weekend.” “Well, you can still call and text him, can’t you?” asked Tai. “You still have a lot to be thankful for.” As Tai spoke, Angelo noticed that his eyes were bright. Are those tears in Tai’s eyes? he wondered. As he thought about it, he realized he’d never heard Tai talk about his father. “Does your dad live with you?” Tai shook his head. “My dad d

I’ll get my coat on and help him bring it in.” But as she opened the door, Dad came in, and he didn’t have a tree. “I’m sorry, sweetie,” said Dad, giving Katie a hug. “I tried to find… ” But Katie shrugged away and hurried to her room. She didn’t feel like celebrating Christmas. Dad knows how much I want a tree, she thought, and he let me down. The sound of voices interrupted her thoughts, and she went to her door and listened. “I feel so terrible that we can’t afford a Christmas tree this year,” said Dad. He sounded very sad. “I know Katie was looking forward to on

It was Christmas Eve, and working at a soup kitchen was not how she wanted to spend the afternoon. She and Mom always baked Christmas cookies on Christmas Eve, and Dad let her help build a fire in the fireplace, and then they’d all watch a Christmas movie together. But her parents decided they needed to start a new tradition this year—serving others in need. Evelyn sighed in frustration. She still had presents to wrap! Evelyn got her serving assignment at the door and dragged her feet as she made her way over to a man stirring a big bowl of mashed pota

And did I tell you that he plays basketball?” Daniel nodded. “And that he’s in my grade in school, and that he has a baseball card collection.” Mrs. Crane smiled and nodded. “I really hope the two of you get a chance to meet sometime.” After Mrs. Crane left, Daniel turned to his mom. “Mrs. Crane is always telling me about her grandson.

You’re going to leave marks!” She sighed as Annistyn’s little sister started crying in the other room. “This house is like a war zone,” she muttered. “Oh, for some peace and quiet!” Annistyn was so wrapped up in her own thoughts she hadn’t heard a word her mother had said. “Who do you think got the part of Mary in the Christmas play?” she asked sarcastically. “Holly, of course! She didn’t even want it, but she’s Mary, and I’m the narrator—again!” Dad looked up. “Is

Send In Your Answers Temporary Connections Julie sighed in satisfaction as she looked at the Christmas decorations she had hung in her room. She had tried to tie a string from her closet door to her curtain, but the string wasn’t long enough, so she’d stretched her curtain into the middle of her room and managed to tie the string tightly around it. Bells and Christmas ornaments were meticulously strung along the string. It had taken her the better part of an hour to get it all set up the way she wanted. A few minutes later, Mom walked in to close Julie’s blinds and noticed the string contraption and the curtain suspended parallel to the floor. “Julie?” Mom asked. “Will you ple
