It is during the Christmas Eve celebration that Pat and Jerry dip into the Swedish background that has so influenced Jerry through his grandmother, and again, in d, later yehrs, through his mission to Sweden. The Lindmans gather together in their coziest of bathrobes as the story of the first Christmas is related.

Finally, with a wheeze, the car whined, and writhed in pain. The end was near. Then, relief! The heater sighed its way to off, and we all gasped at the cool air which began to fill the car through the many cracks and Chrysler crannies We were almost there! Then we saw it! Right in front of us, in all of its magnificent grandeur. The splendor of it all! There, laid out belore us, rolled miles and miles of bumper to bumper, heart rending Holiday Traffic.
