Holiday Mishaps

No invitation needed

One Christmas several years ago, we were living in a small trailer. There were five of us girls and Mom and Dad and Grandma were there, too. We were up on Christmas morning trying to get a nice breakfast going when the power went off due to a sliced wire in our backyard. Now what?

Well, our good friends’ place was down the road from us. They weren’t at home, but we knew they wouldn’t mind if we used their house. So we took our half-cooked breakfast to their house, finished cooking it, and had a jolly time in spite of ourselves.
