The Christmas Presents Call


If there’s a wrapped present in the house the mystery of “what-could-it-be?” is more than Rachel can withstand.  The present calls, it teases, it beckons Rachel.  She tries to go about her business and think of other things but the present whispers, sparkles and winks. 

I can’t hear it.  You wouldn’t be able to hear it either.  But it’s tuned to a frequency that Rachel can hear and it says, “Wouldn’t you love to know…?  Open me and you can find out.”

Ultimately, it’s too much.  She’s only human, after all.  The wrapping paper is torn and the present is revealed.

If only the thrill of the present itself could match the thrill of the anticipation.
