Chapter 21
Christmas is not so jolly. Junior's father leaves the home to get drunk. There is no money or presents. Junior's father returns home still drunk. He surprises Junior with a five-dollar bill he hides in his boot so he does not spend it on alcohol. Junior is proud that his father showed at least a little restraint but angry that he abandoned them over Christmas. .
