Christmas was hectic as usual with two extra mouths to feed Mom was extra stressed she was usually stressed this time of year. But she was more stressed than normal even with Jonathan and Kyler offering to help her. We had sat in the living room, the coal fire burning brightly and the Christmas tree in the corner all lit up. Mom seemed to add more and more decorations each year. Even more knick-knacks that weren't even necessary even if she thought they were. She simply stated that once we grew up and left home she had no need for the festivities of it all until she had grandkids. We had all heard this before, but Kyler and Jonathan hadn't and they had choked on their brandy. We all laughed. It may not have been funny to us but it was to them.
We all gave each……
