The holidays are always very exciting for Tucker. His parents are abuzz with chores and Tucker just wants to help. For example, when his mom gets out the big purple pushy thing and plugs it in, Tucker helps her by mashing dirt and leaves into the carpet after she finishes pushing it there.

Meanwhile his brother YHP sneaks downstairs and tries to eat the cat's food. And Chester Copperpots doesn't care because he is kinda lonely for friends so he lets YHP do it because it is like he is spending time with him. What a cat thing to think.

But what makes him sad is that his sister always seems to do something that gets her sent to bed for most of the day. Sure they all get wound up knowing it is something special that is happening, but his sister expresses her joy in somewhat destructive ways.

Just yesterday, Tucker's sister Dexter decided that it would be a good idea to taste test the muffins their mom made for dinner while the parents were away at work. Needless to say, Tucker's mom was not pleased to find all but 3 of the muffins gone and Dexter playing like she was innocent. And of course The Baron told his mom that he had absolutely nothing to do with the muffin heist.

Tucker, however, is on his best behavior now for the home stretch to Christmas. Making sure he doesn't ruin his chances for all the presents he has asked for this year.
