A Sunnie Christmas Story

Last week three days before Christmas Sunnie brought me a game piece that was a multi-sided die with letters of the alphabet on it. When rolled or dropped one letter would be on top. Sunnie wanted to make up a game to play, so we started rolling the dice and then thinking up three words about Christmas that started with the letter we rolled. We went through several letters fairly easily, and then I rolled an A. I said "angels"and then went blank. I said, "Sunnie, I'm stumped, what begins with an A concerning Christmas? With very little hesitating Sunnie said, "how about ache?" I wasn't sure that I heard right. "What did you say?" She replied, "you know, ache, like when you're aching for Christmas to get here."
