Christmas was here again and the whole Kaplan house was decorated for it. Lights hung on both the inside and out. In the living room was a tree and there was a fire in the wood stove. Charlie and Nick had been sitting at the piano in the living room when they heard a knock.

"Nick it's like this." Charlie told his son, as his fingers moved swiftly over the keys. He heard the knock at the door. "Wonder who it is." He said.

"I got it." Nick said running from the piano to the door. When he opened it he saw Melinda, his smile had gotten very wide. "Mel!" He said and hugged her.

Charlie come to the door and found Nick hugging Melinda. He laughed. "Hey Melinda." He said smiling warmly to her.
