Yesterday

memories of family this holiday season. It was my older sister who destroyed our beliefs in Santa back in the late 60s by showing us where the goods were stored. At least I had comfort of 3 other siblings, who was also saddened by the news, but we somehow persevered.

Merry Christmas and bless you.
