Christmas Advent
Chapter 9-December 9th
It was another big box waiting on his doorstep when Mike got home. Far heavier than the others; Mike carried it in and opened it. It was a ham, and several canned ingredients for a large meal. At the bottom; there was a note.
"You will have a good dinner for Christmas this year. Just put the cans in the pantry and the ham in your freezer until the 23rd. Don't stress about cooking. I will have the fresh ingredients with me."
He complied and put the groceries away, completely confused but looking forward to the coming dinner. He decided to put a request in. That night before bed; he wrote his own note to be posted that next morning before he went to work.
"Can I have scalloped potatoes?"
He posted it on his door frame on the way to work the next morning; not sure what the response would be. Or if there would be a response. He hoped at least to get his request for dinner that year.
