The of fice Christmas party had al most reached the critical point. Mr. Leathers had positioned himself before the tree and was rapping on the table before him with the golden pen his employees had presented to him the previous year. Now he would present gifts to each em ployee and in return require them to tell everyone how they planned to spend the Christ mas holidays. This year, Harry was going to balk. For the fifteen years he had worked for Leathers & Company his Christmas speech had been proud, short and de liberate: "I’m going to visit my family and friends in New Lon don.” For fifteen years, Harry held lived with his lie. Harry had no family. He had no friends. Each holiday season he had secreted himself in his room at the YMCA, afraid to venture into the streets lest someone see him and Leathers & Company, which was his entire world, would become aware he hadn’t gone anywhere at all, and that loyal friends Happy holiday! Newberry Dry Goods Company C. J. McWhirter & Son. 1004 Main Street he was a liar and a fraud. Harry had almost reached the door when Mr. Leathers looked him in the eye. "You may help me, if you will, Har ry. I’ll call the names and you pass out the presents. This will cut down on the traffic and everyone will remain comfort able.” "Yes, sir,” 1 larry responded, stumbling forward, stepping heavily on the instep of Carol Whitley in the process. Carol let out a scream and the office resounded with laughter. Har ry had done it again. Harry never did anything right. "I’m sorry,” I larry said, to no one in particular, too em barrassed to apologize to Carol, who was obviously more embarrased than injured. Harry suffered through the presentation of gifts. What things his friends had planned to do! How nice it would be to visit grandma on the farm, to take the wife and kids to Ski Valley, or just to stay home and exchange gifts by the fire side. And then, it was Harry’s turn. He accepted his present with a mumbled, " Thank you, Mr. Leathers”, and hoped the matter would end there. But Mr. Leiithers persisted. "As if I didn’t know, Harry, what are your plans for the holiday?” Harry swallowed, hard "I’m going to . . . No, I’m not. I’m going, as usual, to my room at the ’Y’. I have no family. 1 never had one. I was an orphan. I have lied to you people, my friends, for 15 years. I’ve never been any where for Christmas. Maybe I will go somewhere this year ... if nowhere else, to church. But, I won’t hide to make you think I have gone somewhere. r You could hear a pin drop. Spontaneously, everyone ap- plauded, Mr. Leathers the loudest of all. "Come to see us, Harry.” "Yes, spend your holiday with us.” "The latch is out at our house, Harry.” Mr. Leathers raised his hands for silence."I think, Har ry, we always knew. But we could do no more than play your game. Mrs. Leathers and I would be delighted to have you join us for Christmas din ner. You need not accept now. We’ll discuss it later. We have one more gift.” "It’s mine,” Carol Whitley said. "And, if you dont mind, I’ll come and get it. I don’t want Harry stepping on my feet again.” "And, what will you do for the holiday?” Mr. Leathers asked. Carol looked knowingly at Harry. "I have a very old friend who, like myself, has no one to visit, no place to go. if he agrees, we shall have Christ mas dinner together at the best restaurant in town.” Everyone applauded. "That is,” Carol added laughingly, "provided he agrees to walk at least two paces behind me. Everyone laughed. And, everyone agreed it had been an excellent Christmas party.
