Chapter 25 Christmas

It was Monday and all, and pretty near Christmas, and all the stores were open. It was pretty Christmassy all of a sudden. A million little kids were downtown with their mothers, getting on and off buses and coming in and out of stores. I wished old Phoebe was around. She’s not little enough anymore to go stark staring mad in the toy department, but she enjoys horsing around and looking at the people. The Christmas before last I took her downtown shopping with me. We had a helluva time. Old Phoebe tried on about twenty pairs of high storm shoes. We finally bought a pair of moccasins and charged them.
