Handy Andy suckcomed (succombed) with a reluctant "Okay". He was very busy during the holly days. Friday night, only Handy Andy and the president of the Optimist club showed up. He was stuck making holly wreaths all night, right up to Saturday morning, when people began arriving to buy them. Looking around for help from the president, he soon discovered the president had snuck out on him, leaving him to stay all day, selling them, alone. His mind kept silently repeating "succorsucker!"
