A Star For A Tree

Monday, December 22 I came home from a doctors and hair apt. I came in and James went out (shopping with my mother, their yearly tradition). The boys were excited to see me and tell me about their day. Sean asked "did you get a star for our Christmas tree?" (ours broke last year). I went to Home Depot while I was out, and would you believe that they didn't have one tree topper (or many seasonal decorations left for that matter). I told Sean that were I went did not have any, and he said (in a very firm, serious tone) "This is ridiculous, we only have 3 days left until Christmas and if we don't get a star then Christmas will be ruined." Of course, I was a little taken back by his response, so I said that we must call daddy and let him know (since he was going out shopping and all, besides daddy can fix anything in our house). I dialed the number and Sean got on the phone and it went something like this "Daddy, we only have 3 days left until Christmas and we don't have a star for our tree yet!" I am sure that James reassured him that he would pick one up, and followed through with an iridescent LED lit star. The boys (Sean especially) were thrilled. Daddy saved Christmas!
