CHAPTER. VI
Johrvrvy Blossom.’s
Christn\a§ Presents
MY, oh, my! Tomorrow would be the day
before Christmas and Johnny Blossom
hadn’t thought about a single present
yet, for any one. He would have to hurry now,
though after all he wasn’t in such a bad fix, for
he had some money — fifty cents, in fact — and
that was surely enough and to spare.
He ought to give twelve Christmas presents
in all: to Father and Mother, three sisters, both
the maids, Jeremias the wood-cutter, Uncle Isaac
of Kingthorpe, Miss Melling (Uncle’s
housekeeper), Miss Jorgensen, who stayed with
them last summer, and Tellef, his special boy
friend.
This wasn’t the first year he had given
presents, no, indeed! He had given some last year
and the year before, but then Mother had helped
him. This year he was going to plan them all by
himself. Not a single person, not even Mother,
should get the least idea of any of the presents
beforehand.
