I leaned against the doorframe to our bedroom, listening to the howling winds, Jubilee standing by my side. "Do you think it'll rain for Christmas?" I asked gloomily. This hadn't been the best Christmas season: there was no Christmas tree, no bright sunrise, and no presents for us dolls.
"No," Jubilee replied calmly. "God can do anything! And even if He does decide to make it rain, shouldn't we make the best out of it? A stormy Christmas can be fun!"
"Yeah, right," I almost said, but stopped myself as I looked at Jubi's pleasant eyes.
"Heya sisters!" Joy smiled as she walked in. I growled inside a little bit, wishing I were as tall as my little sister. "Hi!" Jubi replied. Her face immediately fell as she saw there was still no Christmas tree for us. I noticed her disappointed look and suggested, "Hey, let's go to the kitchen and borrow some of Mama's brownies!" Joy and Jubi grinned. "Good idea!"
We three turned and left the room, heading towards the hallway to get to the kitchen. We walked as quickly as our short doll legs could carry us, as we could hardly wait to taste those yummiliciously chewy brownies.
But when we got back, we saw a surprise that no one expected.
