Holiday Open House

When I was a boy, some of my friends’ (usually girls) fathers built them playhouses. Made of wood, they usually had a door and window with just enough room for a small table and chairs inside. One actually had power for an overhead light. We thought that was something. Tonight we attended First Baptist Church’s Christmas Pageant to enjoy Grandpa Edds’ singing with the choir. When the boys entered the nursery they discovered the coolest play house ever. Made of splinter free molded plastic, it featured a Dutch door, 2 large bay windows, peaked roof with skylight and welcome mat. The detailed interior had a full kitchen with sink, range, storage cabinet, drop-leaf table and cordless electronic phone. Plus it had an electronic doorbell with realistic chime sound. We had to pry our boys out of this fine playhouse when the service was over.
