Who:Mary Little and Riley Poe What:Baking for the holiday When: two days before Thanksgiving. Where: Mary's trailer. Rating: Low most likely. Status: complete Mary had never celebrated many holidays. Even when she had been living at home as a child with her mother they hadn't celebrated much of anything. Holidays were for special concerts and "charity" benefits. Celebrating Halloween at the carnival had been her first real taste of a holiday and she had relished the flavor.
And now a holiday that was all about food and togetherness was here and she baking her little heart out. She didn't really have any plans for anything. But she decided to bless her friends here with their fill of sweet treats.
So there she was, bustling around her kitchen, singing rather unabashedly to some Christmas song that was blaring just a bit too early over the radio. But she didn't care. Decades without any semblance of a normal holiday season had made her appreciate even the all too early Christmas season that seemed to sneak up on people. It helped that this year she had people she wanted to share in the spirit with.
