We had so much fun at Christmas time, we had two Christmases. Our friends were very envious. We loved it. Our mom did too. While we were at Christmas Eve at dad's she told us later, she could get ready for our Christmas day, that my grandparents also attended.
We had Christmas Eve at my dad's house. This picture was taken there. My youngest brother Scott and I are mugging for the camera! Christmas eve was a whirlwind of presents and fun and hanging with my dad, the four of us, Suzy, me, Bill and Scott and my sister Sara who we never got enough of. And her mom Betty, who was sweet to us all. And made Christmas very magic. You can see by the tree in the background. Also my Grandfather "Pop" was there and Grandma Dorothy, my dad's parents. And Betty's mom Rachel who could play the piano beautifully. We had great fun. And presents!
In the morning, after spending the night in our new jammies at home, we sat on the stairs, waiting for the beautiful Christmas my mom had ready for us. With the creche with baby Jesus and the Real Tree, everything was so beautiful! We sat with me (the oldest) on the top step, then Suzy, Billy and Scotty, the one closest to the presents and when Mom said okay, we plummeted down in all our excitement. The most fun Christmas we had was when mom gave us presents every Sunday of Advent and we really followed our Advent calendars and did our lessons perfectly. Your present might be a new tooth brush, we were all so excited. My brothers and sisters and I were always so close. I think it was our belief in Jesus and the wonderful times we had celebrating His Birth and all that he did for us on the Cross, and His Resurrection...In our youths the Baby Jesus is what we could relate to the most and we loved Him so!
