Time was when I could figure within a tree ^ or two just how many to order. Bill Sykes and his tin trees put a stop to that.” ‘‘Now what’ll I do?” ‘‘Buy a tin one, I reckon.” “I will not! After all my spout ing off I’d be the laughing stock of Hillcrest if I went home with a metal tree. I promised Ruth and the kids a green tree. I’ll get a green tree if I have to go into the woods with an ax.” I didn’t really intend to. But I was stumped—and stubborn. I sat fuming in the car in front of our house w’hen my tw r elve-year-old son David came up. He held a neatly wrapped package behind him. “What’s up, dad?” “I can’t get a live Christmas tree. Phil’s sold out.” “No kidding? Gosh, that’s tough. Have you tried old Mr. Simpson?” “Not a chance. Simpson hasn’t done a decent thing for anybody in ten years.” “Let’s try him anyway,” urged David. “It’s getting late; we should be trimming the tree by this time.” We drove over to Simpson’s. The old man opened the door about a foot and eyed us suspi ciously. “We came to wish you a Merry Christmas, sir,” said David. “Eh? Did you now? First time anybody’s bothered to do that in many a year. A merry Christmas to you, my boy! And to you, sir.” “Thank you,” I said. “We’d like to invite you to Christmas dinner—at our house,” David cut in. “And there’s your Christmas present, Mr. Simpson.” He handed over the package he’d been carrying. Surprise Da ,r id had surprised us both. Simi son’s hands shook as he reached for the package. “To din ner, y m say?” he muttered. “Tur key?” “Yes sir—with all the trim mings. We’re going to have a wonderful Christmas—even with out a Christmas tree.” David was quiet for a long time after we left Simpson’s. Then he said: “You know, dad, it didn’t seem quite fair getting a tree that way. Mr. Simpson did seem pleas ed when I gave him the present though.” “He was delighted. Probably the first present he’s had in years. What was in the package?” “A keen pipe It was supposed to be your Christmas present Orly I knew how bad you wanted a tree.” “It was the best Christmas present I ever got—er, almost got,” I said gratefully. We both laughed. We had gotten something wonderful out of this Christmas. Something even bigger than the green tree that we were bringing home.

He k.pt bragging about how many artificial Christmas trees he was going to seU. He even siccked the whole front window of his hard ware store with the shiny trees. Now I’m old-fashioned. I like a good, green, strong-smelling pine tree for Christmas. Seems there’s still a lot of us in Hillcrest who feel the same way. Too bad Phil Reagan didn’t know it; he or dered only half his usual ship ment. I guess Bill Sykes had scared him with all that bragging. Divided So Hillcrest was divided. Some said there was nothing like the new fireproof metal trees. Others claimed that Christmas’ fondest memories were built around the thick, odorous variety. The debate went on until Christ mas Eve. Then I went over to Phil Rea gan’s gas station to get my tree. “Sorry, Bob,” said Phil with a 9 CHRISTMAS DOLL ...
