Midge stood up and stretched. She jumped off the bed where her owner was still sleeping. Midge ran out into the living room and stood a moment staring at the Christmas tree that stood near the front window. Under the tree, were several small gift boxes with bright colored ribbons. She leaped into the chair beside the tank where Snappy was sitting on a log watching the snow falling outside.
"Hi Midge," said Snappy. "Did you see it snowing?"
"Hi Snappy," smiled Midge as she looked out the window. "Isn't the snow pretty falling. We have a white Christmas."
