All Alone It was usually about this time in December when we began to get butterflies in our very young tummies—Christmas shopping butterflies. And each Saturday we'd begin to watch Dad very closely for signs ot forthcoming surprises and the waiting was terrible and exciting. Finally, .at what seemed to be last possible Saturday, he’d choose just the right moment to draw each of us press into our hands for our shopping. We became wealthy, sophistocated snobs with secrets and we became confident beyond our greatest hopes. (Though the confidence subsided with the pas­ sing of each penny until the last gift was purchased more for its price than its suitability.) How dull was my imagination. Dad always received a key case (real leather) and Mother, a dif­ ferent sort of plant container and my brother. still must have hand­ kerchiefs to burn. One of my sisters always bought things that were soft and punchy or that smelled of perfume and the other sister came home with rattly parcels which usually turn­ ed out to be tiny animals in some form or other. Mother and Dad found an elephant or lion just as surprisingly pleasant as did the rest pf us. Our budgets were modest and nothing much was lost since we all bought pretty well what we- Iiked ourselves and usually ended up the year with what was left of the collection. Yet it still seems . wonderful, even in remembering, and I wish that every child of six or more could know what it is like to do Christmas shopping in glorious solitude—even if he could only buy a dozen tiny, toy animals and wrap them and distribute them as he alone wished.
