With a growl of disgust he turns over, after reminding her that they are "going to cut out all that foolishness this year." In the newspapers he finds every headline contains Christmas tidings: Christmas, Christmas, everywhere, until Paul is in a fine temper. He delivers an oration in which he says: "Then there is the family dinner with 18 kinds of dessert which you must sample and wash down with cider and get a stomach-ache." When his mother calls and the dear old lady presents him with a silk muffler, he hurts her feelings by refusing and is so disagreeable she doesn't stay long. With her last words, "You might have wished me a Merry Christmas; there won't be many more for me," ringing in his cars, Paul wakes up to find it was all a nightmare. Mother is really waiting downstairs and hurriedly dressing, Paul, now a changed man, goes down with his wife and gives his little lady a regular hear hug, then Mr. and Mrs. Punctual do a war dance of good old-fashioned Holiday happiness.
