“I have to go all out, Dad!” Jami explained as she beamed. He took another glance at Jami’s hat and

added with a smirk, “It looks like you really went all

Jami twisted back around to face the mirror. She

had to admit: The bright red, oversized Santa hat with

an extra-luffy lining did look a bit ridiculous.
“Well, the hat wasn’t exactly my choice,” Jami

laughed as she yanked the cap off her head and

tossed it onto her bed. “The choir director is making

“That’s a good point,” her father cackled. “You’d

stick out if you didn’t have one of those hats on!”
“I agree,” Jami nodded. “But one of my

classmates, Meg, really didn’t want to

wear one. She threatened to drop out of
the concert!” Jami looked back at her father and

shrugged. “But if I’m being honest, I think she’s just
