Christmas Countdown! [Chapter 9]

Three weeks to Christmas! Can you believe it? The Year's almost over, Scout and Jem're growing up so fast! I remember when they were only up to my knee level! Sigh.

The Finches will be going to the landing, as usual. Atticus invited me, as he does every year, but I politely declined, as I do every year. I wish to spend time with my Zeebo and besides, they've already got Ma'am Alexandra, she's a great cook (according to Scout)! Therefore, I don't feel that bad leaving the kids.

When I get to Zeebo's place, maybe I'll make him something special. Don't know how long ago it's been since he's had a hot meal. I don't think he even has a stove in his place... I'll have to go check. Maybe when I'm there, I'll find out more about Tom. Heard he's in quite a spot now...
