I think of my mother more than usual during the holidays. She always made them so special for us...I will never forget them.
There was one Christmas in particular, I think it was about 1977 or so. The whole family was gathering at the house and spending the night, even my grandmother was coming. Keeping in mind that Mom was still working...but the house was beautifully decorated, with stockings for all of us, including pets, fastened to the balusters. The dinner that Christmas Eve night was a gourmet feast.....prime rib, Yorkshire pudding, and all the accoutrements.
At the time I don't remember thinking too much about it, but now as I look back I am in awe of everything that woman accomplished.
Thank you Mom, for everything you did for us our whole lives. I miss you and love you so much.
