 Christmas Day in the Morning by Pearl S. Buck
Everyday the boy and his father have to get up early and milk the cows. And cows don’t get a day off for Christmas. So on Christmas day—just like all of the others—the milking has to be done.

This year he is being very specific and describes exactly what he wants—a real live penguin named Osbert. Will Santa get it right this year? It would be so cool to have a penguin—or would it?
