Don't Forget Your Greens!

Chicago

24/Savvy Home: Chicago, IL

T'was the season of Christmas and holiday entertaining aplenty drew near. The cupcakes were frosted and the presents were wrapped; the fire was lit and the stockings held fast. With one final check before bedtime that night, a quick look around told me it just wasn't right. But what could it be? What did I miss? The children were counted and the food was prepared, but a lingering feeling told me it wasn't quite bliss. Then it quickly came upon me in one swift swoop—not a green plant to be seen, nor any color in our coop! So off I traveled to Sprout Home in the village, to fill the nooks and the crannies with greens from my pillage. And finally, oh finally, my house was a home, and I could relax as the festivities loomed.
