…red and green velvet dresses, patent leather shoes, and tights decorated with bows!
…cedar allergies, which make mama’s eyes as red and puffy as Rudolph’s nose!
… an afternoon date with the girls to see The Nutcracker at their ballet studio, complete with fancy tea and sugar cookies!
…festive red pants, which fit just a bit too tight because of all the sugar cookies!
…a droopy Charlie Brown Christmas tree, still thirsty from the Texas drought, adorned with kid ornaments…and dozens of gifts!
…droopy eyes on a tired mama, from a chronic virus. And wrapping all those gifts!
…memories I hope we never forget.
