Today is the first day of the new year. The Adamson began celebrating the New Year a day before. First they decided to decorate the New Year tree. Mr. Adamson did the illumination and Freddy began to hang the toys.
Lena did not take part in this, but she did some other important things. She helped her mother to prepare the New Year supper. Jessie wanted to help them with the New Year cake, but Mrs. Adamson did not like the idea.
“Making cakes is a difficult thing for small girls,” she said. “You may put too much sugar or too little butter in. Better go to decorate the New Year tree, which you can do very well.”
Jessie went to help with the New Year tree.
In the evening the family sat at the table for the holiday supper. Everything was wonderful and when the New Year came at twelve o’clock, they said to each other, “A Happy New Year!”
