What would the world do without Christmas?
Vernon was in the forest, perched on top of a tree. He wasn’t alone. He was holding hands with his girlfriend Bettice, and they were reminiscing about the school dance and what a wonderful time they had. All of a sudden, a projectile flew past Vernon’s head.
“What was that?” asked Bettice.
“I don’t know,” said Vernon, looking around.
The second snowball didn’t miss. Vernon was hit by the snowball, and it knocked him and Bettice off the branch, and on the way down, they hit a few other branches.
Vernon’s teenage elf friends, noticing what happened, came running to Vernon’s defense.
“Why did you do that?” asked an angry Vernon, while menacingly looking at the Hrinoffs.
“Can you please get off of me,” said Bettice. Vernon landed right on top of her.
“You’ve been challenged to a home building contest,” said Hrinoff Remoulie. “Do you accept?”
Vernon didn’t know what to say. He never built a real house before. Only snow houses. He pulled his teenage elfin friends aside, and they conferred about building the house. One thing was certain… None of them knew how to build a house. But not knowing something, wasn’t enough of a deterrent. That never stopped Vernon and his friends before. That just added to the challenge.
And he already felt embarrassed because he landed on top of his girlfriend and he didn’t even thank her for breaking his fall. That showed bad manners on his part.
He didn’t want Bettice to also think that he wasn’t a good homebuilder. It was a matter of pride.
Vernon and his teenage friends accepted the challenge.
Bettice, excited and proud of Vernon because he accepted the challenge, gave him a kiss on his cheek. His cheeks turned a bright cheery cherry red. The rest of his face was the color of a very ripe tomato.
