What do you mean I can’t join you? I’m sure it will be fine. Just because last time I jumped off in the middle to chase a squirrel, and caused you to crash into a pine. I’m certain that this time, I won’t flip the sled because I saw a particularly interesting snowflake. Or send us into the pond because I wanted to play tug of war with the steering rope. I promise not to try to steal your mittens again, so that we won't plough into the snowman you just made. So, wouldn’t it be much more fun for us both to go together? What’s the worst that could happen? Entry for 2024 Holiday Writer's Contest
