Let's read a short story about Christmas carols!

Christmas Carols

One snowy evening, carolers came to our door.
My dad opened it and said, “Lovely singing, but can you shovel the driveway too?”
They laughed and said, “Only if you tip us in cookies.”
Dad handed over a tray, but the driveway stayed covered in snow.

God rest ye merry gentlemen
