It was a day before Smallville High School would break for the holiday vacation. There were festive lights, holiday reeds, and people dressed up as Santa Claus that manifested the streets of downtown Smallville. The homes of Smallville were an even more magnificent scene to witness. Each home was dripping with kaleidoscopic lights from the base of the house to the top of the roofs. And in the middle of this portrait like landscape, there stands Clark Kent lost in thought as he gazes at the cold December night sky. Lost in deep thought, he does not even hear his mother walk up the stairs of the man-made fortress of a barn.
"Clark, you father and I are heading into Metropolis on Friday. We were wondering if you wanted to come with us." His mother said.
Clark went through a mental list thinking to himself if he had forgot anything. Cards, wrapping paper, bows, presents, and lots of masking tape. Nope, the diligent Clark Kent had done all his shopping two weeks in advanced.
"No thanks, I'm set. Mom, you should have been more like your son and done all your last minute Christmas shopping a little earlier." Clark answered with a slight grin on his face.
With that said, Martha Kent gave Clark a stern look as to say "Don't push it buddy."
And she was off. When the loving mother reached the bottom of the stairs she announced to Clark
"Come in the house now Clark! It's too cold for you to stay up there this long!"
Clark knew his mother would get mad if he objected to her, so he reluctantly strolled down the stairs and met with his mother at the bottom.
"Clark, are you okay? You look like you are trying to solve the problems of the world." Mrs. Kent said with deep concern.
"Oh? Don't worry I'm fine. I'm just trying to remember where I was hiding your Christmas present Mom." Clark said with another grin.
As the two walked to the house, Clark thought to himself "Everything is fine. Nothing has changed from last year. Pete is headed to Gotham to spend Christmas with his grandparents. Chloe would be off to New York with her dad to be with her aunts and uncles. Lana and Whitney would be spending Christmas together like they have been doing ever since they started going out and I'll stay home again."
When they reached the door to the house, Clark let out a big sigh and stepped in.
