Carla Mae is her neighbor and best friend in the fifth grade. Carla Mae&’s house is different than Addie&’s—she has five siblings and another on the way, while Addie is an only child. It&’s the week before Christmas, and shopping lists are at the front of the girls&’ minds. Addie&’s house doesn&’t have a tree—her dad says they are a waste of money, and they&’ll be opening presents at Uncle Will&’s anyway. Uncle Will has a tree, but to Addie, it doesn&’t feel like Christmas without a tree of their own. Then she comes up with the perfect plan. Will it make this the best Christmas they&’ve ever had, or will her father never forgive her?
