The second short story in this digest featured both girls as Betty comes to Lodge Manor on Christmas Eve to help Ronnie decorate her Christmas Tree.
This is a great story for highlighting how different Veronica and Betty are when it comes to money. Betty has one credit card that she uses occasionally to purchase gasoline. One the other hand, Veronica keeps hers in a special storage cabinet so that she can enjoy their myriad colors!
Anyway, the pair discover a snag when they discover that Veronica's Christmas decorations are all soggy and moldy. It turns out that a water pipe burst earlier in the year and the decorations were unknown victims of that household flood.
Veronica experiences a moment of panic before being struck by a sudden brainstorm for makeshift decorations! I won't ruin the ending for you, but these new decorations are definitely suited to Veronica and her family!
