After lunch Laura put Tyler down for a nap. Then, while Glen sat in front of the TV swearing over the Christmas cards, she and Amy snuggled under the down comforter on Glen’s and her king-size bed and read storybooks together. It felt great to spend a Sunday afternoon just relaxing with her daughter. Last year she hadn’t had time for this sort of thing, hadn’t even had a minute for herself because of everything she’d wound up doing. And there had been Glen, the Christmas drone, just relaxing and inviting company over at the drop of a hat, while she ran in circles. It felt good not to run. In fact, it felt so good that she knew she would never do it again. She and Glen would either be entering into some serious negotiations at the end of the strike or he’d be living at the North Pole.

At one point Glen called up the stairs, “I have to get something. I’ll be back,” then she heard the front door slam. Poor Glen, he was probably going out to buy more Excedrin.

She finished the last page of The Night Before Christmas and shut the book.

“I like that book,” Amy said.

Laura kissed the top of her head. “I know you do.”

“Does Daddy want to come and read stories with us?”

“Oh, honey, I’m afraid Daddy’s going to be busy for a while,” Laura said with a wicked grin. What a brilliant idea this strike was. Joy had been positively inspired when she came up with it.
