“Fido, what the heck are you talking about?”
“It’s almost Thanksgiving, so let’s put up the tree!”
“Old Boy, I believe you are getting your holidays mixed up. The tree is a Christmas thing, not a Thanksgiving thing. Thanksgiving is about giving thanks for everything we have received. Christmas is about giving—a way to say to someone that they’re important to us.”
Fido scrunched into a sit while he considered all this.
“What’s the tree got to do with it, then?”
“Fido, you ask darned good questions sometimes.”
