My sister graciously searched the family photos to find every picture taken during our Christmas celebrations. Even though I thought we had a million photos of trees, toys, and cookie trays, there weren't near as many pictures as we are accustomed to taking these days with our digital cameras.  |

My mother's good friend, Barbara Kiessling, often visited on Christmas Eve or day. It was the Kiessling family that my mother hosted for a party after Midnight Mass for two years. Being up so late made it hard for Marilyn to cook the big dinner on Christmas Day so that was a short-lived tradition. |
