Nanson frowned slightly. “Bitten? Which kid’s been that naughty? Does it hurt?”

Anthea smiled, “It stung a bit at first, but it’s all good now.”

Nightfall came swiftly.

The family of three sat down for their festive dinner.

Carole had prepared a feast for tonight, including a bubbling fondue pot, and an assortment of chicken, duck, and fish dishes.

Nanson raised his glass and stood up, “Sis, Annie, this is Annie’s first Christmas back with us, and our first celebrating a fresh start. Here’s to brighter days ahead! Cheers!”

“Cheers!” Carole and Anthea stood, raising their glasses as well.

The air was filled with the deafening sound of fireworks and crackers.

Watching the display, Anthea’s lips curved into a gentle smile, “Mom, Uncle, shall we go set off some fireworks after dinner?”

“Sure thing,” Nanson nodded,

Carole chuckled, “You two go on, I’ll sit this one out.” Tomorrow was the Christmas Day, and she had a lot to do.

As she spoke, Carole handed Anthea an envelope, “Annie, here’s some pocket money for you. I hope good luck finds you in the coming year!”
