A Merry Little Christmas
By Trisana McGraw
It was December, two months since Daddy announced that his money was gone. On the twenty-fifth there were less presents. Their cheeriness was also muted, though that probably didn't have to do with the lack of gifts, Cordelia thought.
The tree was smaller and dimmer than before, but they still gathered around it in the Christmas spirit. For the first time Cordelia could remember, Mom and Dad were both there; Daddy had always been on the phone making deals, though he wasn't supposed to work on Christmas Day.
Now he couldn't, and she found that this was her merriest Christmas.
