It was Christmas Eve Day. Christmas trees and decorations were in every room of the old house.
Outside, too. Torn wrapping paper was everywhere. It had been a good day.
The old couple stood at the door hugging their family as they were leaving. They would all be busy on Christmas Day, so they would not see them.
The old couple was happy to have spent Christmas Eve with them. They all did remember to wish the old man a happy birthday in case they got busy and forgot to call him on Christmas Day.
They watched them out the window as they were all getting into their cars and headed off to their busy lives.
