Mac's Advent Calendar! 5
New York City looked more and more like Christmas time. Mac's home was normal and unchangeable. Lindsay had an idea to change Mac's home because he needed more Christmas at home and to make him want to go home. Lindsay had said to Stella: "Mac needs more decorations, a little Christmas tree at home and in his office too, so that it looks more like Christmas time." Stella said: "Lindsay, you are right. Mac needs Christmas feeling at home and at work. We'll have a meeting with the guys and organize it all. But we have to make sure that Mac doesn't notice anything and isn't there when we put up all the decoration, and we have to put something in his Advent Calendar." That had been before.
Now it was all planned and they knew Mac would open that Advent Calendar door at the office today. Lindsay and Stella had organized everything and Mac's home was ready with Christmas decorations. They had help too, everybody who was not at work helped. Mac's home was beautiful. Lindsay, Stella and the others hoped that Mac would like it. They all knew Mac was a very private person.
Mac was now in his office and a little impatient to open this day of the Advent Calendar. Mac saw it was a nice picture of a decorated home, and also a gingerbread house for Mac. On the picture was written Mac, it is time to go home. Mac didn't think about it and reacted. Mac left the office and went home. Outside it was cold and it snowed. It was evening when Mac left from work. All the team saw that Mac was leaving and hoped that Mac would like the surprise. Mac arrived home and opened the door. When he saw his home it was so emotional, Mac was crying. In Mac's living room was a Christmas tree and decorations, and every room had Christmas decorations. When Mac was walking towards the Christmas tree he saw a little present under the tree. Mac bent down and took the present. He looked at the card first. Mac, we hope you like it. Mac, you need more Christmas in your home and heart. Now it's time to open the first gift. Mac was looking at that present for long and then he opened it. It was an angel figure. Mac looked and found another letter. Mac, it is a Guardian Angel. It will protect you. We know you have an angel who is watching over you. Mac knew they were thinking of Claire. Mac was now sitting on his couch and looking around. Mac was lost in his thoughts now with this happy reminder, holding the angel and smiling.
Elf Lindsay and elf Stella were watching Mac and were satisfied that they had succeeded.
