James and Mary had a quiet Christmas morning. They had agreed to find someone needy to give a gift to rather than to each other and just enjoyed spending the morning together. They, too, read the Christmas story as they had each Christmas of their marriage. The anticipation of the trip to Maine the next morning occupied their minds, but they had determined not to talk about the trip, nor whether it was Jed, today. Today they would spend appreciating the gift of the Savior. In the afternoon they would go over to Sue Jenson’s home to have dinner with Sue, Charles, and Jim.
