Tim finished putting the last decoration on the Christmas tree. His sister Beth was helping him. Tim said, “I want everything to be just right for Christmas. Mom and dad are coming.” “Oh! Look at the snow!” exclaimed Beth, opening the front door. There was a lot of snow on the ground. Tim said sadly, “Mom and dad called from the airport. They are stuck at the airport.” Since they were going to be late, Tim and Beth sat down at the beautifully decorated table and started eating the food in front of them. “Ho! Ho! Ho!” they heard a few minutes later, followed by a rustle on the roof, “Merry Christmas!” “What was that?” asked Tim, getting up from the table and looking out of the window. Tim was just in time to see Santa Claus helping mom and dad down off the roof. “Merry Christmas!” Mom and dad shouted waving ‘goodbye’ to Santa Claus.
