BY THE END of the day Liz almost felt at home in the one-bedroom cabin. She had a list four pages long of things to purchase and projects to do. Most of which she could handle herself. If she had a bed and a lamp she could’ve stayed tonight.

“Hey, Liz,” Matt said with a quick double knock at the front door before walking in. “They’re calling for snow tonight.”

Elvis hopped to his feet and woofed.

“Does he like snow?” She pictured him more like the dog that carried the keg of brandy down the hill to help stranded skiers.

“It’s his first winter. He’s so big it’s easy to forget he’s just a puppy. I guess we’re getting ready to find out.”

“It’s my first winter here in a long time too, Elvis. We’ll figure it out together,” she said.

“I’m curious. What’s your favorite time of the year up here?”

“Summer I guess. I got to spend more time here then, but that was a long time ago.”

“I figured with the sand-dollar necklace you wear it would probably be summer.”

“I do like the fishing and hiking in the summer, but I’m really looking forward to Christmas.”

He leaned forward and touched her necklace, then lifted the pendant and looked at the back. “This is like a real sand dollar. See, if you turn it over, it kind of looks like a poinsettia.”

“Hmm. Really?” She unclasped the chain and looked at the pendant. “You’re right. I hadn’t even noticed.”

“There’s a legend about sand dollars. Part of it goes:

The Christmas Poinsettia

Etched on the other side

Reminds us of His birthday

Our joyous Christmas tide.”
