-December-
"All right, everybody, watch the birdie." Jim called and aimed for a picture. Darling sat on the floor and was posing with Jim Jr. In her lap with Tramp and Lady kneeling hand in hand behind them. Tramp was now living with Trusty and was visiting for the holidays. They acted like son and father.
"Steady now... Hold it..." He FINNALY took the picture. Smoke billowed around the room.
"I guess I used a little too much." Jim said sheepishly. He fanned all of the smoke out of the opened window.
"Visitors!" Jim called, spotting Jock and Trusty walk down to the front steps and knock on the door.
"Careful now, man. Careful. It's a wee bit slippery." Jock warned Trusty.
"Yes, yes." Trusty replied, carefully stepping with his crutches.
Tramp ran to open the door for his "father".
"Oh, no, not you, young man. You're going to take a nap." Darling scolded Jim Jr. and brought him upstairs.
"Well, Merry Christmas! Come in! Come in!" Jim exclaimed.
"If you'll just step into the parlor, I'll see about refreshments." Jim made his way to the kitchen and started pouring some brandy
The young adults chatted up a storm, Trusty in the recliner with his leg propped up, Jock in his fluffy red Christmas sweater, and Lady and Tramp hand in hand.
"What a lovely Christmas!" Lady exclaimed.
"That reminds me of what my ol' Grandpappy ol' Reliable used to say. I don't recollect I've mentioned ol' Reliable before..." Trusty trailed off.
"Aye, you have laddie. Countless times, again and again." Jock replied, rolling his eyes.
"Not to me, Trusty!" Tramp said eagerly. He wanted to see what the fuss was about "ol' Reliable".
"Well, he used to say... to say..." Trusty took a sip of his brandy.
"Now, I quite forgot what he used to say!" The quartet laughed, but that full-body laugh, not that annoying twitter sound that Tramp hated.
Tramp leaned in for a kiss undersome mistletoe with Lady and they shared a loving passionate kiss.
