Christmas
|
|
Christmas is coming. Everybody in the family is excited and happy. The family is looking forward to Jane’s coming home for the holiday. Jane hasn’t been at home for almost half a year and her parents missed her greatly. The father is counting the days out to see his daughter back. The mother is planning what to cook to please their dear girl. Of course, it will be turkey mixed with mushrooms and potatoes, an apple pie, an Irish pie, strawberry cake and much fruit.
Her other concern is the presents. She is going shopping and putting an eye on* what she is going to buy. Jane has always dreamt of amber necklace and earings. Amber is not easy to find in Glasgow and it is rather expensive. But if Jane wishes to have them so much she will certainly buy these things for the present. She had saved some money for Christmas presents. The girl will be so happy.
She knows very well what her husband would like to have. A pipe. Certainly, a pipe. He is collecting them, though he doesn’t smoke. Every Christmas he gets a new pipe and that makes him happy.
Her parents are also coming from Canada. Her mother will get Scottish scarf and her father a pair of woolen socks. Though they have lived in Canada for more than 20 years, they like things of English or Scottish production. They say there is no better quality than English. The father is also looking for gifts. He has his own plans and keeps them in secret. In some days he will bring a Christmas Tree and Christmas Stockings, for presents. The decoration will have been done before Jane comes home.
