What Can I Give Mom and Dad for Christmas

Mary  E. Coe

I have a big problem, I don't know what to give my
mom and dad for Christmas.

Maybe I could take all the money out of my
piggy bank and buy them a box of chocolate.

But, they gave me that money, so I will be buying
them chocolate with their own money.

I know; I can bake them some cookies. Can't
do that, mom will have to help, and she will be
baking her own cookies.

Got it, I will clean my room all by myself. Bad idea, too
much work.

I have a new Teddy, I can give them my new Teddy.

Can't do that either, they gave Teddy to me for my birthday;
and Teddy will really miss sleeping with me.

Yes! I really got it! They love all the pictures I draw
at school. They are all over the refrigerator in the kitchen.
They will have another picture to put on the refrigerator.

Sometimes, my dad gets a little confused, he will ask my mom;
"what is it". Mom will say, "You don't know what that
beautiful picture is?"

Then she will say to me, can you believe he doesn't know
what that is. Tell your dad what that is.

I will draw them a picture of our family so they can
put it on the refrigerator.

I will keep it until Christmas morning then I will give it
to them with a big kiss and a hug.
