Well, the town of Springfield is lovely to behold this Christmas Eve. About noon today, the first snowflakes began to fall, and soon the air was filled with the whirling crystals.

Came down heavily all afternoon. Now, every lawn and park is white, every roof and chimney top. And out on Maple Street this frosty Christmas Eve, every house seems to have its windows brightly aglow. Every house that is except the Anderson's. They're not home.

You see there? Well, let's go back to ten o'clock this morning. Margaret was wrapping packages on the dining room table and Jim was helping her. Like this. Now hold your finger on this, will you, dear?

Mm-hmm. There we are. That notch should hold, don't you think? Honey, are you planning to send me along with the package? What's the matter? You tied my thumb in there. Oh, I'm sorry. There. I wonder if there's anyone I've forgotten.

From the number of packages scattered around here, you couldn't have forgotten anyone. Not in Springfield anyway. Oh, there are not so many there. It just looks like a lot. I can't figure it out. We don't know that many people.
