Packing Up the Holidays

 Daddy Steve: The Christmas season is over, and the kids are all busy packing up our decorations.

James: What's going on in here?
Lara: Luke and Oliver are taking down the big tree.

James: How many ornaments have they broken?
Lara: Only two; much better than last year!
Luke: Oops!
Lara: >sigh< Three.

Holly Belle: It's a good thing I'm here to direct this operation.  
Who knows what would go wrong otherwise?  
John Martin, you move those boxes over there.  The Santa figurines go 
in that long box.  All the others...blah, blah, blah.
Nathan, go in the basement and get...blah, blah, blah.
Paul, check the cupboard under the stairs for the...blah, blah, blah.
Alright everyone, let's get moving!

Nathan: What would we do without her?
John Martin: >Sigh<

Paul: I love Christmas.  It's kind of sad to see all the decorations get put away.
Holly Belle: I know what you mean, but there are a lot of fun holidays coming up. 
Like Valentine's Day!  Flowers! Candy! Romantic cards!  
Isn't that right, John Martin?

Holly Belle:  ♫ Oh, John Martin! ♫
Hmmm, where do you suppose he went?
Nathan: Probably hiding out until Easter.

John Martin still can hope that time is on his side - as it is still some weeks until Valentine's Day, maybe Holly Belle will find another vict.... ahm favourite boy.
