Christmas at Pammie's

Pammie enjoyed Christmas immensely with all its warm feelings as well as its many ritual trappings. She  enthusiastically contributed ornaments every year to the tree in Sue's apartment and always had an impressive wreath on her door. But the decorations could also reach the point where they ran up against Pammie's uncompromising practicality. Case in point: the f**ing garland. Pammie had an artificial garland that she intended to be strung festively across the the tops of the windows in her living room, but it was a royal pain to get it positioned up there. In fact, rather than being displayed, it simply got cursed at. Its official name was the f**ing garland.
