Granted, that I believe that was our ring. Well, it might not have been, but it sure sounded like it to me. Won't you answer it? Long time. Hello? Jot them down, Store. Yeah, this is lman Abner. Now, let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. I believe that's about straight now. Just fasten your wire now, Abner, and I believe you got it. Well, I reckon just them three wires is gonna hold it. Yeah, that'll hold it. Come on, get down off the ladder before you fall and break something. Are you ready to start decorating the tree now, Lum? Yeah. Let's get this stuff on there. Them young units will be coming in here directly. Better start getting your Santa clothes outfit on, Mr. Lum. Well, we gotta get the tree degraded first. Come on, get up, Abner. Don't be sitting down now. Whereabouts? That box of trimmings the Ladies Aid Society brung over Grand Tabs? Why, let's see. Oh, they're sitting around back of the tree, I believe. Here's them sweet gum balls. I've run out of tin for them. I can't give her no more of them. Well, that ought to be enough. Get that box of trimmings around there. Back of the tree, Cedric. Better see what we got here first. Well, now, what do you want to do with this cotton? Hair long. Never did know why they brung it over. Well, we'll want to tear it up in little bitty pieces and scatter it around over the tree there so it'll look like snow. Snow inside the schoolhouse? This way? Why, sure. That's the way they always decorate a tree. Well, the youngest'll know it never snowed inside the schoolhouse. Now, Abner, I ain't got time to stop and argue with you about everything we do. If you don't want to help, just sit down there on one of them school desks and keep out of our way. I ain't trying to start no Argument. I just wonder, is these there, Mr. Lum, not. Yeah, set them down to death, Cedric. Better open up that box and see what the old they got in there, though. Yes, ma'. Am. Hell, there comes Squire driving up out in front now. Lum good. Better go out there and help him unload that stuff, Grandpap. Some stuff Dick Huddleston sent over. Yeah, Dick will be over his cell with some more stuff here directly, too. Boy, look here, Mr. Long. Looks like a whole box full of popcorn. Yeah, that's to decorate the tree with, Cedric, ain't it, Long? That's right. It's all strang on thread, just like stringing and drape it around over the tree. Wait a second. What's this here? Oh, well, now, ain't that nice? A big star to put right up on top of the tree. Well, somebody want to get the thing up there now. Ought to put that on before we put the tree up. I never knowed it was in the box there. Well, we can stand on my step ladder. I know it ain't high enough for a body to reach the top of the tree, is it? No, I'm feared not. Let's see here. Well, Merry Christmas, gentlemen. Merry Christmas. Come in, Squire. Come in. Well, now. Say, that's a fine tree you've got there, Stately. Good foliage. Cedric went over there to Shady Mountain this afternoon and got it. Well, good. Say, I brought over a load of toys and candy from Dick Hudderson's place. All I could carry. He'll be coming over hereself pretty soon with some more, he says. Well, good for Dick. Just set it down on the floor, Squire. We'll get to it in a minute. What in the world's in this box here, Squire? Weighs a ton. Why, I believe that's some of that Christmas mixed candy, Grandpap. You know, the kids just love that. Oh, my, yes. They'll get a sight of enjoyment out of this. Oh, yeah. Well, mom, this was a great idea you had, putting on a Christmas tree for the children. Yeah, you know, there's a lot of little lads and lasses around here. Wouldn't have had any Christmas otherwise. I'm just glad of the chance. I've been so busy with the mule derby and the mule naming contest. And the beauty contest, too. I never thought of it till yesterday. Well, it's a shame you couldn't have given away that prize on your mule naming contest before Christmas, Mom. Been sort of a nice Christmas present for somebody. Yeah, it would, but it can wait, Squire. Folks are too busy with Christmas to bother about naming them you right now, young UN's is the most important thing this time of year. Oh, yes, of course. Well, sir, I would like to be on the receiving end of that prize myself, though. You've got just as much chance as anybody else, squire. Just send in a mule's name and give your reason why you thought of that particular name. I know the rules. Here, let me help you something here and let me get busy. Yeah, Squire, you and me might as well start tying these sweet gumballs on the tree. I've got them all kivered with tinfoil. Well, now, they do look nice, don't they? Well, sir, there's nothing quite as eye catching as a sweet gumball. Oh. Oh, pardon me, Abner. I didn't see you tearing that ladder there. Yeah, set that ladder down there, Abner. Now, not there. Over here by the tree. Yeah. Now, get up on the ladder there and I'll hand you this tool of cotton. Just scattered it around on the trees. Well, now, if I'm going to get up on this thing, Somebody's got to stand here and hold it. Go ahead. I've got it. Go ahead, sir. Who's going to ask the Santa Claus, lum? Well, I reckon I. Oh, for goodness sakes, get off my finger, Abner. Well, get your hand off the step there. Them steps is for feet. Why don't I just at least do it myself? Now, hold her steady. Don't them sweet gumballs look nice? Oh, it's fine, grandpa, fine. I just taken some tin foil. Fine, Grandpa, I'll never finish telling you how I done it. Well, I know, Grandpapa. Look nice. Don't throw all the cotton in one place. Got it around some. Well, you've got it there. Looks like there might be a hole in the roof. Oh, yeah, Granny's. I've got to be getting over home directly. And get that Santa Claus outfit on, too. Are you going to put the toys right on the tree, long? No, I thought I'd just fill up a cotton sack full of them and come in the back window there and have the young UN's line up March by the tree here. And I can just hand each one of them a present as they come by. I'm out of cotton, mom. Well, that's all. Yeah, come on down. I'll put you to doing something else. Hold that ladder. Now I've got it, grandpap. Take those gumballs. Oh, for goodness sake. Watch where you're stepping. Oh, excuse me. I wasn't looking. Well, now you've got both my Hands now. I hope you're satisfied. Here, take this star now and see if you can get it up there on the top of the tree. You mean clean up there on the tip top? Don't see, squire. You kind of mold the tinfoil in amongst the little points on the sweet gum balls. This looks nice, Grandpap. Don't bother me. I'm putting these bells on a tree now. Here. Far hard to be up there on that top twig right next to the ceiling, Abner. Well, I don't know how in the world I'll get up there letting I climb the trees. Well, man, it seems like to me that star should have been put on there before you. It put. Put the tree up. We were just talking about that, Squire. But we didn't know we had it till we unpacked that box the Ladies Aid Society sent over a while ago. You ought to be able to chin up that tree, Abner. I saw you go up worse ones than that to get a possum out of it. Why, yes, sir. We could hold the tree for you, Abner, so it won't top over. So don't worry about it now. Yeah, go ahead, Amner. Don't waste so much time, man. All right, hand me the star. I'll tire. Well, you go ahead. I'll hand it to you when you get up there, Wade. Now get up under them lower branches there. Told me this feeder sticks a fell pans off a badge, you know. Yeah. Grab a whole. I've got it, Grandpab. Careful now. Don't shake none of them sweet gumballs off. I got them covered with tin foil. That's tin foil on there. Well, sir, now, I never would have known that, Grandpap, if you hadn't told me three or four times. Oh, you. You noticed them all? Yes. Yes, I did. Yes, I did, Grandbab. Grandbab. He's a kind of a neck to it, you see. You take the ten horse. Oh, yes, I know, Grandpappy. It's awfully pretty. It's about wore out. You know it right now I work myself to a fragile wore out work to a fr. You ain't turn a hand set to stand around here and tell the rest I was what to do. You pay attention to what you're doing up there. I'll tend to my end of it. Yes. Watch it there, Abner. Be careful now what you're doing. Come on, Abner. If I never knowed better, I'd swear you a possum. You want up that tree there. I don't want no Smart Alec talking to you there, old Garfield tree. If he seen you up there, I look like a possum up here. You look like a hound dog sitting down there looking at me. Now wait a minute. Let's don't have no argument. Is this high enough? Now clean up to the top. Well, I'm up to the top now. These lands are just awful little up here. Yeah, you can get a little higher there. Got to go right up on the top. Yeah, I'll try it. I reckon I could be draping that popcorn around the tree while he's doing that. Why, yes, I think that's a good idea. Me and Grandpap can hold the tree. All right, I'm sure. Where is that popcorn? Grand theft. I don't know. He's sitting right over there. Look around there. Back of the tree. L. What is it? It's Cedric. He's got them decorates back there. Yeah, Cedric. Don't be decorating the back end of the trees. Won't show back. Wait a minute. What are you doing? What you got in your mouth? Well, one too. Goodness for pity sake. Look here, Squire D blamed if Cedric ain't set there and ate up about nine yards of this popcorn. Oh me, that's a fine. How he do a fine? How do you do? I must say my grannies have found out one thing. Christmas is for the children, not the grown ups. Yes, Christmas is for the children all right, but men will be boys. Just a minute. We'll come back to Lumon Avenue.
