Chapter 246
“Really?” Deborah now looked happy and confident.
“I loved your idea of starting the event with the children making their own candy bags,” Eric said. “That way, we can see each child’s creativity.”
“We can tell you put a lot of thought into this and considered many little details that turn out to be the most important ones,” Jayden added.
“Well, that’s something I do at work–consider all angles before investing,” she said, feeling very pleased with the compliments.
“It shows, my love.”
“And I think we can make this a new tradition for the beginning of all our events because sometimes there were kids who didn’t bring a candy bag, and it was sad to see them not taking as much candy as they wanted because they couldn’t carry it,” Samantha added, grimacing as she recalled that fact.
“Well, since it’s such an important event, it’s better to have extra bags. I saw online that there are many tutorials for making them with recycled materials, or even complex ones made with fabric.”
The Coopers were thrilled to see that their daughter–in–law was taking their passion seriously and was working to create something special to continue their tradition.
They listened to all her suggestions and watched the videos she had consulted, getting excited as they
refined Deborah’s ideas.
“Now that we have this plan in mind, let’s get started with the organization,” Samantha declared enthusiastically.
At that moment, Deborah noticed that several designers from the company were already coming in to discuss and begin constructing the attractions for the children to enjoy, from a small fair with games to win candy and prizes to a haunted house and a maze of fear.
“It seems like everyone is excited,” Deborah commented as she, Jayden, and James supervised the creation of the games and interactive sculptures.
“I told you this is a family tradition, and I hope you’re ready to be my sexy Mrs. Claus because we also do something special for the kids at Christmas.”
“It will be an honor to participate. By the way, what are you dressing up as?”
“I’m deciding between a zombie and a vampire,” he said excitedly. “And you?”
“Your mom suggested I be a witch to accompany my little pumpkin.”
James babbled, excited to see people coming and going.
“In a few years, you’ll be directing the show, son,” Jayden said, ruffling the little one’s hair.
“Woah… it’s that time of year,” one of the neighbors said as she approached the entrance.
“Yes, ma’am, so if you want to bring the family to play with us, you’re more than welcome,” Jayden declared.

“Thank you very much. Will you announce it?”
“Yes, there will be a car going around announcing so everyone knows what time we’ll open.”
“Let me guess, the same entry fee as always?”
“Huh?” Deborah looked at her husband, confused.
“Yes.”
“In that case, we’ll see you on Saturday,” the lady said as she resumed her walk.
“Entry fee? Do we charge admission?”
“Yes and no. We ask for the luxurious and expensive fee of one bag of candy.”
“Pfft…Well, that’s expensive.”
“We ask for candy to supplement what we buy because one time we ran out of candy, and some of my friends didn’t get any. So my parents made an agreement with the neighbors that for future events if they could help by donating a bag of candy, it would be great.”
“What happens if there’s candy left over?”
“We take it to an orphanage along with any leftover food and gifts.”
“I like that charity plan.”
“Well, we should be kind to everyone and share what we have.”
“Wow… you know, I had no idea I married such a just and charitable man,” Deborah said playfully, kissing him on the lips.
“Ah…” James placed his tiny hands on his parents‘ faces as if to protest against their interaction, making both of them laugh. They turned and kissed him on the cheek at the same time, much to his delight.
