SALLY: Butch. Do you know what special holiday is coming up in a few weeks?

BUTCH: No, I don't much pay attention to those things.

SALLY: Wow. I would have never guessed you were that type.

BUTCH: Guessed I was what kind of type?

SALLY: The type that would forget it was Advent.

BUTCH: What did Ad vent?

SALLY: Butch, you are a basket case. Advent, the coming of Christ the King.

BUTCH: You mean Jesus Christ?

SALLY: That's exactly what I mean. It is a time looking toward the birth of Jesus in Bethleham.

BUTCH: Oh, I know what's coming up in a few weeks. It will be Christmas.

SALLY: It took you long enough to wake up. Now, are you excited?

BUTCH: Of course I'm excited. What kid would not be excited. I'm going to have to get some cookies and milk.

SALLY: Cookies and milk? What has that got to do with Jesus.

BUTCH: It doesn't have anything to do with Jesus, but it is a way of saying thank you to Santa for bringing all those nice gifts.

SALLY: But as long as you are saying "Thank you" to Santa, don't you think we should be saying an even bigger "Thank you" to God?

BUTCH: A Thank you to God!! Why so?

SALLY: The gifts God gives us are so much better than just clothes or toys.

BUTCH: Better than toys or Clothes?

SALLY: Yes, God gave us life, and He gave us our mommies and daddies and brothers and sisters. Those arer all things we can thank God for.

BUTCH: Well, I don't know about my sister, Chris, but I sure am glad for mommy and daddy.

SALLY: Let's pray and thank God for loving us and blessing us with so many wonderful gifts. Bye everyone.

BUTCH: Bye, and Thank you God.
