The view out the window showed a cold, brown, and barren
landscape. The inside of the house was equally bleak. A visitor, were that by
some miracle there was one, wouldn’t have been given any indication that it was
in fact, Christmas day. There was no tree decorated with a riotous explosion of
lights and ornaments of innumerable theme. There were no gifts, wrapped
carefully with paper that would be thoughtlessly torn away. The small table was
bare. The kitchen was spotless, having just experienced its weekly cleaning.
There were no signs of any preparation for the receiving of guests.
