The year without a winter
|
Christmas was Monica's favorite time of the year. She loved to decorate her house, buy gifts to her loved ones, receive gifts from her loved ones, eat all she could in family meetings... But this year, something seemed off. Fall was ending, but the weather didn't grow colder. It was time to play christmas tunes and put on christmas lights, but there was no snow falling, not even a chill breeze. How could she gift her nieces the scarves she knitted all Summer? They mentioned all kinds of reasons on TV, plus the disastrous consequences - crops wilting, animals dying... Had they been forgotten? Would humanity be finally punished for their sins?
The 25th was coming. The Northern Hemisphere cried for help, but the Southern Hemisphere was also hot, so they couldn't help. Monica bought a portable fan for her nieces. Her christmas dinner was made of salads. She looked up at the sky and made her last prayer "please let there be snow today. Let Winter come. I know we don't deserve, but I might be less consumerist next year and more family oriented". She finished getting dressed up, and when she opened the door, a surprise! Her sister was dressed in a pink wooly coat, for it was snowing in the year without a winter. Some may call it Christmas miracle, but the next Christmas dinner at Monica's house included less decorations and gifts and more family members and charitable actions.
Three themes:
Drunk on eggnogg on christmas eve
Forgot the secret santa present
Long drive on the car until christmas dinner with family
