Hi,

Thank you so much for the beautiful snowflake. Leave it to you to make sure I had my very own special present this Christmas. It's so you. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas Eve and Day. My sister, Artie and the girls will be here tomorrow night with my mother. I know my mother will be asking for you. I'll tell her you send your regards to her as well. I was remembering how we went to Home Depot to get the real tree a few times. That was so great. I know I drove you nuts with cutting every tree to make sure it was the right one. That was alot of fun even though we were sometimes freezing. The boys helped me alot today getting set up, but I couldn't help but think about how you would do most of the work setting up the table and I would be in the kitchen cooking. I felt very sad the other day, when I was food shopping after work. It was about 8:30 pm and I was alone with the packages, and DAM I had to carry all of them!! It was a terrible feeling. But, at least, I was able to remember the good times too...except this time we weren't going out to dinner, then to Panera for coffee. I'm sorry I don't mean to sound whiney. I guess it hit me this year a bit more.

Thank you again for the thoughtful gift. It looks great on the tree.

Talk to you soon,

Me
