It went without saying that Arthur had no true talent in decorating a home. He left all of those decisions to others who felt they were better qualified. When it came to the holiday season, he tried his best with hanging holly, but it was no spectacular job. He would hang it in a way he thought was elegant, but the decision making took a great deal of time. He needed better eyes for things like that, and when it came time to decorate a tree, Arthur recruited Susan for such a job. And this was no ordinary tree, this was one for the holiday festival later that month. Their family tree had been decorated and placed in the main living area of their home, on display for any visitors to see.
He chose the largest size he could for the competition. As a member of the council, he could not enter the competition, but he could put a tree up for display. He did a decent job last year, but he had plenty of help from his staff. This year he had his wife, who had a remarkable talent for projects such as this. He took on the job of ordering the ornaments, the garland, and whatever else was needed to make the tree something special. What he did not count on was being buried in box upon box of decorations. The larger the tree, the more decorations they would need - why hadn't he thought of that before he signed up for the largest?
There were too many boxes, but he was in the process of opening them all that day. Having just arrived through the mail, the boxes contained everything they would need. However, he was slightly overwhelmed by the quantity and the size of the project at hand. "Susan?" he called out, poking his head above a stack of boxes. "Did we really order all of this?"
