“They will be so excited to find Christmas cards at their doors!” Betsy smiles.
“Now I see how many things we can do together during Christmas time.” I say. “Let’s make a Christmas Team!”
“Yes, let’s make a special team for Christmas! We will think what we can do for others. We will share our ideas and do it together!” Betsy says.
“This is wonderful!” Mary is excited.
“I want to be a member of the Christmas Team!” Archie says.
“We will have a lot of fun together!” Mikky smiles.
The big break between our lessons is over. We need to go back to our classes. But we are very happy that we have a Christmas team now. We can’t wait to do something good together!

Chapter 3
In a Mall
Today is the first day of an American Christmas season. Today is Black Friday. Our family has a tradition to go to a big mall to shop. This time, members of our Christmas Team – Mikky, Mary and Archie go with us.
We arrive at the Mall on a big red bus.
“Mommy, can we go shopping ourselves with Betsy, Mikky, Archie and Mary, please? And you will go shopping with Daddy and Timmy.” I ask.
“Well…” our mother thinks.
“I want to go with you, Rex! I want to go with you!” Timmy starts to jump.
“Well,” our mother continues, “I think that you puppies are old enough. Yes, you can go on your own. Let’s meet here at the same place in three hours.”
