Chapter 47

Christmas Day arrived, and Alex woke to voices and noises of people shuffling about in her kitchen. Excited about the holiday and another day closer to marrying Peter, she nearly leaped out of bed. She threw on her robe and headed toward the kitchen. Her mom stood with plates in hand, already serving Peter and her dad scrambled eggs, sausage, and toast. She glanced through the archway between the kitchen and living room and noticed the presents under the Christmas tree. Santa had paid them a visit.

"Sit down, dear, and have some breakfast," her mother ordered.

Alex took a seat at the table and filled her plate. When they finished eating, she and her mom quickly cleaned up the kitchen, and the four of them, with coffee mugs in hand, proceeded to the living room to exchange presents.
