It ’ s not that bad , besides it really looks nice in that corner . It gives the room a good atmosphere .

I know , I know . But it reminds me of the great Christmas we just had . All of us were here - - my parents , your parents , the kids , and the cousins - - the food was good , and everybody got what they wanted .

Yeah , it was a good Christmas . It won ’ t always be this good , but we can ’ t make it last longer than it should .
