Christmas Ham
The Ham.

Alee was at home hanging around. She didn’t go to school because everything was snowed in. She didn’t mind though because today was the last day of school for the first day of Christmas break. Alee was super hype for Christmas. She couldn’t wait for Christmas to get here so she convinced her grandma to buy two. She had one ham for tonight and the other for Christmas day. She invited her new neighbor Harry over for dinner since he was new and lived by himself. She didn’t want him to be lonely for the holidays. So while she prepared for dinner she started with the ham’s glaze. She adds molasses because that was the family tradition. After all of the food was done and the table was set she called Harry and told him to come over. They blessed the food and started serving themselves. Harry was so happy because he hadn’t had a home cooked meal in a while. He started to dig into the ham excitedly. As he chewed hungrily and happily he tilted his glasses to his nose and asked “Alee what’s in this glaze its so delicious.” “I added a little molasses family tradition,” she said to him while wiping her mouth. He choked and screamed “molasses”. His face started to swell and his wind was cut short. Her and her grandma didn’t know what to do. She tried CPR but that didn’t work.

He died right there on the floor. Harry was allergic to molasses Alee had found out later on that night.
