Tammy always made a wonderful Christmas dinner, and the gathering that they had was spectacular. And it gave Ellie an excuse not to make a big fuss about Christmas at her house, which always felt vaguely sad to her. She didn't want to drag out the ornaments that she had gotten with Clint. And she didn't want to get rid of them an
