The LOG asks readers what is their Christmas wish as three days remain before Christmas. Nan and Nicole visit from Atlanta to buy a real five foot fir tree, with Mom and Gramma decorating. The trio discusses prices, tree selection, trimming flaws, and finally brings home a straight, self-supporting fir for the holiday.
Nan and Nicole knit popcorn garlands to decorate the tree while the narrator tends to upstairs work. Buttons from Mama's box, candy canes, bells, angels, and stars adorn the trunk as the family prepares for a cozy Christmas. The piece urges joy over commercialism and calls for lights, song, and a merry season.
A humorous column argues husbands miss the mark on gifts, urging them to buy what women want not what they need. It suggests department stores offer guidance to prevent festive shopping mishaps and cites examples from bathrobes to jewelry. Tom Selleck is lightly invoked as a possible gift idea.
