“How much farther?” Chuck carried the top of the tree.
“We just need to go to the alley and the delivery entrance. Almost there,” answered Sam.
“Do you think they’ll notice the rusty branches?” Bert was worried, as usual.
“Nah. Better an old tree than no tree.” Sam, always positive.
Chuck wasn’t so optimistic. “We’re going to get in trouble for this. The Boss won’t like it.”
“Turn right! There, we made it.” Sam led the way to the employee’s lounge, where some maids started singing “Oh Christmas Tree.”
Even The Boss helped decorate it.
Just Writing! 
Some things just aren’t worth worrying about. No Christmas ghosts for this boss!

If the boss likes it, all’s well. I loved the worrying over the rusty branches. That aspect tells us so much.

I like the way you give the group a variety of personalities; not an easy thing to do with only 100 words!
Happy New Year, Linda!

Phew, I was worried “The Boss” was some sort of gangster and things were going to go badly for them!

No, apparently he wasn’t as bad in reality as he was in their minds :). I think we are too often guilty of creating monsters where there aren’t any.
