The Meaning of Christmas, Part II



Claire was recently reviewing one of her favorite publications, the Drs. Foster & Smith catalog, searching for Christmas gifts for Ollie and Hugo.  She shouted out the options ("Oh, look!  A turkey leg rawhide bone! They would love that.") until she found the perfect choice.

Claire:
  "Hey, Margot.  If we put our allowance together, we can get Ollie and Hugo a giant hickory smoked bone for Christmas!!
Margot:  "What?  I don't want to use my allowance for that!"

Claire:  "Why not?  They would love it."
Margot:  "Because.  I want to use it to buy things for myself."
Claire:  "Well, Margot, then I guess you will never really know the meaning of Christmas."
