CRAZY CHRISTMAS

By Ona Freeman Lathrop

FOR YEARS Emily Kane had secretly told herself that she‘d like to skip Christmas. She didn’t want Clint nor the children to know how she felt about it, but it was coming to be such a commercialized rat-race and such a burden to deck the house and the tree, get all the presents ready, and plan and get the big dinner! Yet year after year she went through with it. inviting all the married children and their families home for the feast and gift exchange. making the traditional cookies and candies, working herself into a wreck. Now. at last It was going to be different! “Emily, how would you like to go with me to our National Convention this holiday?” Clint had proposed a few weeks ago. "It’s to be held tn St Petersburg and would be a nice break in the rugged winter for us. But I suppose you couldn’t leave the family at Christmas, eh?” “Why not?" she said surprisingly. time the children made Christmas in their own homes for their own families. I’ll just tell them we’ve been selfish always wanting them here.” "Well!” Clint grinned "1 never thought you'd take me up on that. But we’ll have a wonderful time. Emily, Sure you don’t mind being away from them?” So it was arranged She broke the news gently to their offspring, arid she hurried and bought the gifts and left them at the various bouses before they set out “Clint. I just can't believe yet that I don't have to stuff a goose and make plum pudding and salads and clean up all that Christmas wrapping trash!” “Why Emily, you old traitor Here I thought all these years that you loved all that excitement and clutter." he chuck' d. “Well, I did—in a v.ay—but the last few years I’ve bem so sick of it could scream.” She settled her nice n-w ersuit and her gay reo fray «u..

Would Carl see that young Chuck's tricycle was put together properly? Carl’s wife couldn’t cook for snuff. She did hope Jane wouldn’t burn the fowl this year. And France* was planning store-bought pudding for dessert! At the swank hotel she kept pinching herself to see if this could be she. Christmas eve and no stockings to fill! She and Clint strolled down to the ball room but decided to turn in early and get some sleep. Somehow this gaudy display seemed a little sacrilegious. On Christmas day she awoke with one of her terrific headaches. “I think I’ll just take a fruit plate for lunch.” she announced. *1 will, too,” Clint agreed. “You know as delegate I have to go to a Board dinner tonight, so I wont overload this noon.” They nibbled their lunch in silence. Emily stared out the window at the green grass and exotic flowers and waving palms. Certainly this didn’t seem like Christmas. She loved snow. Then suddenly she realized that this was Christmas dinner she was eating, and that she would be eating alone tonight and would probably just order a sandwich in her room. She choked on the avocado and gulped her black coffee. A tear rolled down bar cheek. “Hey. honey, what ails you?" Clint exclaimed. “Not pining for the kids, are you? I thought you were glad to get away from it all” “Os course not," she scoffed. "Just choked a little, that's all.” She’ld never let him know how her heart was aching for the hubbub and the bustle and the smell of Christmas at home.
