That little blond kid sporting what looks like a Christmas morning chubby in his underwear is me. That's my sister Linda behind me and that's our Mom next to her. On the floor is my sister Sandy and next to her is my older brother Charlie and my Dad. My brother Karl was behind the camera and that's why he wasn't in the photo. The picture was taken around 1968 or 1969 I think. Even though we lived in the projects and were poor as church mice we always made out like bandits on Christmas morning. I loved getting up before the sun came up and running down stairs to see what Santa had brought us and watching every one open presents.Flash forward to today and it's just me and Sparky now on Christmas morning and I still love getting up, although it's not quite as early these days, and doing the opening presents thing. I think I speak for her as well when I say, "Happy Christmas everybody!"
I'll leave you with our new favorite Christmas song:
Odds bless us all, every one!
