Signed- Sealed -delivered
by country ranch writer
Our boss Big John,gives us a hard time all year long with he demands of do this ,do that. We've all held our tongues, because we all needed the work with the holidays coming too fast. One day ,he had us cutting a Christmas tree for the place along with putting out holiday decorations everywhere. Now you got to know ,this was a man who never in the years we've know him never celebrated Christmas or any other holiday, what was going on! What was so special about this year?while we decorated the tree for him,he announced this year he was throwing a Christmas party. What?Did he just say Christmas party? Looking from one to another,hhe was actually smiling!
He had us clean out the barn and decorate it for the Christmas party! It was beginning to actually feel like Christmas with everything lit up. He shocked us by even having us fix up a sleigh and eight reindeer for the front of the barn. We have never seen Big John so happy.He seemed to all of us to have a spring In his step as they say. It was a big relief to us. He quit barking orders and even used the word once or twice saying please a couple of times.
Looks like we're in for a white Christmas. The week before Christmas,Big John called us all to the barn.He gave us a bonus,teasing us not to spend it all in one place.It was the first bonus we ever received and a huge one at that!
" Holy cow!"
Looking to each other walking away, Jessie and Mark remarked to me "Cal, (short for Callie),has he gone and lost his marbles? " , Surprised by it myself all I could say was."bay be he got theChristmas spirit scared into him like in the movie Scrooge!". We all laughed and said,"It was going to be the best Christmas ever!"
