For practically the entire Christmas Eve, Klaus spent at his father's side, helping out at the Long Island Community Food and Clothing Shelter, which they have helped out at this time of year for several years now.
The shelter manager, Mr. Clinton, was a great colleague of Michael's, so the Park's helped him every year without hesitation and this year could be no different.
Klaus had to cook, put together food baskets, shovel snow from the sidewalks of some houses, and had a lot of work all day. As a child he used to complain to his father about all the hard work, but after all the jobs with exploitative managers he had gone through during his teenage years, doing this kind of work now became simple child's play.
