"Were you born on Earth? No? Then you are an alien."
It made perfect sense to Adam. The alien girl certainly wasn't normal. She was so strange...like an alien intelligence in a human body. Talking with her about Christmas seemed only to make her more unhappy. Was that a depressed sigh he heard?
"What we do has meaning too. The stringed popcorn is hung up on a tree to represent unity...a chain of Christmas' stretching on to infinity. The socks hung from the fireplace mantel was something people used to do in the past to dry their socks...a everyday thing. I believe it was a Dutch holiday or some such where you put some kind of gift in the person's sock and then they give a gift back to you. Sinteerklass I think it is called? Anyways, there are many different traditions adopted into the modern Christmas."
Winded from his long explanation, he wasn't used to talking so much. But being around Danica always seemed to force him to talk a great deal. There was so much explaining to do...since she was an alien.
