    Another Christmas

    Days passed and Bette noticed Tina making more of an effort to get home earlier. They were able to eat dinner as a family and spend more time together. As she promised Angie, they went back to the toy store and picked out gifts and donated them to the children’s hospital. Bette made a special trip back to the store on her own to get Angie another doll.

    Ever since that morning when she’d had the idea, Bette had worked hard on bringing her Christmas plan into fruition. She made calls and arrangements, and secreted away everything that may have given away the surprise.

    Finally, it was Christmas Eve, and although Tina had asked a few questions about what Bette had up her sleeve, Bette hadn’t given anything away, and she knew Tina would be thrilled with her gift. Bette was anticipating this Christmas more than any in years. Perhaps more than any Christmas ever.

    Tina had gone out to finish up her Christmas shopping, she said, and Bette took advantage of Tina’s absence to see the final details of the surprise into fruition.

    Everything was ready when Tina appeared again in the late afternoon, arms filled with packages. Bette heard her come in and hurried into the foyer to help Tina with her bags.

    “Thanks, babe,” Tina said, giving Bette a quick kiss. “It’s crazy out there, but fun. Wait ’til I show you what I got for Angie! And you’re going to flip when you see your gift,” Tina said as she shrugged out of her coat and hung it on a peg by the door.

    “Can’t wait,” Bette said, taking Tina’s hands. “But first, I have something I want to show you, T. Come with me.”

    “Hang on a second, Bette, there’s something else. I was going to tell you tomorrow, but I want to tell you now.”

    “What is it, Tina? Is everything alright?”

    “Of course! It’s better than alright. I finished the project on Friday. The hard part is done, and I can delegate the rest. I’m taking the next two weeks off!”

    “Oh, Tina,” Bette said, wrapping Tina in a hug. “I’m so glad.”

    “You say that now, but you’ll get sick of me hanging around here, I bet.”

    2. Bette and Tina are going to have a perfect Christmas. I see that Bette is still all about those grand gestures even if she’s mellowed. Thank you omalley and happy holidays to you.

    3. That was a nice Christmas Story. I loved that Angie understood what Bette was trying to show her about Christmas and then when she wanted to get more toys for the other kids was just so precious. Glad too that t
