“Pam what are you doing?”
“I am trying to wrap your brother’s gift!”
“Well I don’t think you have enough wrapping paper.”
“No really? …Geez, thank you Mr. Obvious.”
“Ok then. I will let you and wrapping paper get back to your fight.”
“Wait!”
“No I’m not saying anything more…”
“Ok good. But you can wrap. So sit your butt down on the floor and wrap your present.”
“My present? Really?”
“Stop. You were there when I bought it.”
“Yes but you said nothing about wrapping it.”
“Get over it. It’s the holidays and I have way too much going on.”
“Because you won’t let me do anything.”
“I think that’s because when I ask for help you make a mess or are being flip.”
“That’s what you love about me.”
“Not right now. So stop talking and wrap.”
“Ok done.”
“That was 2 seconds.”
“I’m a professional”
“Ugh would you just…”
“I can leave.”
“No, no! I need you to wrap your parent’s presents while I get the cookies out of the oven.”
“Ohhh, are they sugar?”
“No talking!”
“Mrs Grinch much?”
(Minutes later)
“Ok all the presents are wrapped. Including one of your cousin’s and your parent’s.”
“Did you use the snowman wrapping paper?”
“Uhh…”
“Jim! The snowman was for my side of the family and the Christmas tree was for your side. Now I don’t know whose present is for who!”
“What about tags?”
“Did you use them?”
“Well not yet…but…”
“Really Jim. You just are not with it.”
“Well you didn’t tell me! You told me to wrap so I wrapped!”
“Ok, well again showing how you are NO help!”
“Hey, hey..why don’t we go outside for a walk or something?”
“It’s cold.”
“I think we have hats and coats in the closet to keep us warm.”
“All right. But just for a short time. I need to go to the grocery store and get back to Cindy about caroling and…”
“All right. I’ll set my watch for 30 minutes ok?”
“Ok.”
“Wow everyone has such beautiful decorations.”
“Pam, can you smell that?”
“What?”
“Snow.”
“I smell wood smoke.”
“That too but snow is coming.”
“The first snowfall is so pretty.”
“We are definitely going to make a snowman this year.”
“I love making snowman. We would give them names like Earl or Bozo. Sometimes we would make a family but the heads would fall off the kids so we used to call them “special”.”
“Aww you made special needs snowman. How caring of you Beesly.”
(Later that night)
“Jim Jim! It’s snowing!”
“I called it! Which means you owe me.”
“We didn’t make a bet.”
“No but I told you we were going to be making a snowman.”
“You are correct sir.”
“And because it’s our first everything in the house, I bought you a special something.”
“Wait you bought me a early present?”
“Yup.”
“Well open it.”
“…Aww Jim you used special wrapping paper…”
“Yeah well since you said the snowman was for your side of the family and Christmas tree was for my side all we had left was..”
“Hanukah Paper! I love it!”
“…Oh Jim this is awesome…”
“You like it?”
“Oh I more then like. It’s perfect.”
“I hope we can use it soon.”
“Our very own Snowman Kit with all the best things to make a perfect snowman.”
“And of course we will add our personal touches.”
“Can’t forget the coffee mug and cane”
“A cane? Our snowman is going to be elderly?”
“I was thinking Michael in 35 years.”
“Oh I really like you.”
