Aunt Linda and Uncle Paul always take care of dinner. We only have to organize the games and dessert. You can do that easily.
Lucas
Come on. You did it half the time Mom was sick, Lee.
Liesel
I didn’t last year while I was in Costa Rica.
Lucas
Yeah, and it was terrible. We bought Costco cookies and played charades. Uncle Paul was so mad. He said he didn’t smoke ribs for 72 hours just to eat grocery store garbage. Costco cookies aren’t garbage!
Liesel
Okay, fine. I’ll work on it this weekend.
Logan
You’re the best. Want to do it at the house and we’ll help?
Liesel
No, I got it. Don’t worry.
Lucas
Come on, Lee. Do it at the house.
Liesel
All my stuff’s at my place.
Logan
What night do you want to do it? We’ll come over.
Liesel
I’ll have to get back to you.
Lucas
Do you guys remember how much Mom loved Christmas Adam?
Logan
She laughed every year about eating ribs.
Lucas
How that joke never got old to her is a mystery.
I hate Christmas Adam.
“What’s Christmas Adam?”
I clutch my phone to my chest. “Excuse me? How did you see my texts?”
