Chapter 7
"Princess, look!" a cheerful faced little lad exclaimed, his button nose pressed against the frost-covered window as he drank in the twinkling Christmas lights that adorned the Bennett home next door. Propping his chin on one gloved hand, he sighed, "Timmy loves Christmas."
"Bah humbug," Tabitha Lennox muttered, shaking her head in distaste as she surveyed Noah and Sam's handiwork.
"Timmy thinks Tabby's being a scrooge," Timmy shook his head in disappointment.
"I knew Ebenezer before he sold out to the dark side," Tabitha mused. "Charming man." She wandered into the kitchen to feed Fluffy, lamenting, "That man had such potential."
Still shaking his head long after she'd gone, Timmy walked across the room and crawled onto the old sofa. Picking up the day's edition of the Harmony Herald, he scanned the front page, his blue eyes becoming comically round when he spotted one item in particular regarding the following evening's Tree Lighting Ceremony—and the guest of honor. "Timmy can't wait to meet Santa!"
Short and sweet and barely longer than drabble-length.
LOL!
Hope you enjoyed it.
Thanks so much for reading!
