M ERRY CHRISTMAS! PATTI HAS A VINTAGE FLOCKED TREE SHE INHERITED from her parents. She decorates it with handblown glass ornaments and has a weakness for pine cones.

There were 10 of us, including the dog. The girls started opening presents at 8:05 am, everyone takes turns, we took a short break for breakfast, continued unwrapping gifts and finshed up at 11:00 am.

I wish I had a good picture of Gracie, the dog. She opens the gifts in her stocking first so she'll be quiet while the girls open theirs. The problem is that she gets deeply depressed when there are no more presents to unwrap.

And here's my little girl in one of her gifts:

May the laughter of family surround you,
