Joanne Decker watched gloomily as a half dozen men trudged through the snow skirting Arrowhead Lake. They would return in a few hours carrying Christmas trees on their husky shoulders. Joanne sighed heavily as the last man disappeared Into the brush. This promised to be the dreariest Christmas Joanne had ever known. Even the postmans whistle failed to rouse her. It was only when Mr. Rogers stood at the far end of the drive waving a letter that a faint glow of curiosity came to her eyes. The old postman never signalled unless he had something important. Maybe it was a letter from Eddie! Slipping into a coat Joanne raced eagerly down the snow - covered path, unmindful of her open-toeslippers. Its from Lynne Grove," said Mr. Rogers with a grin.

Mary blinked helplessly. Joanne ran up to her room and slammed the door. The radio was on; Christmas carols only emphasized her loneliness. She switched it off.
