Kickass, the doorstop dog, reports that the keeper and Phyllis recognize the importance of surprise and novelty in maintaining a relationship, but as Phyllis got ready to trim her Christmas tree over in the corner of the living-room, she posted someone’s version of a toilet-paper trimmed tree, and for a few brief moments, the keeper was taken in.
Why not! With the country in a chaotic mess, why not make a sarcastic seasonal Christmas-tree statement!
Then the keeper came to his senses and realized that Phyllis was joking and she would be using her artistic talents to produce a beautiful Christmas tree for friends and family and the keeper.
As Snoopy has it, “It’s not what’s under the Christmas tree that matters. It’s who’s around it.”
