Christmas Advent

Chapter 20-December 20th

Mike was still irritated with the President and was pulling long hours; trying to get ready for retirement. It was a little after nine when he pulled in. The box was an average weight and he carried it in and immediately unpacked it. There was a wrapped plate of food and a bottle of wine and a bottle of his favorite whiskey. The note made him smile.

"While you certainly deserve a drink now; save it for Christmas Eve. You can eat the chicken and dumplings tonight though."

Mike warmed up the food and put the whiskey and wine away. There was a piece of peach pie that he also heated up slightly and smiled as he looked at the calendar. Only a few more days until he figured it all out.
