He must have been good this year...maybe

After asking Santa for two whole years to bring him a toy chainsaw, my nephew Hiller’s joy was finally made complete this Christmas. Even the adults marveled at the tool, with its turning silver chain and smooth black finish. Savoring my Swedish pancakes and baked grapefruit, I mumbled “Uh-huh, sure,” to my nephew’s statement that he was going to go chainsaw the bows off the packages. Never underestimate the power of a toy chainsaw in the hands of a 4-year-old! But the massacre of the packages was actually quite funny and we enjoyed unwrapping our bow-less gifts anyway.
