It seems that there were a number of years when my siblings and I lived by the adage, “The one who has the most presents wins.”
Several times, in the days that led up to Christmas, we would sort the presents under the tree into piles my name. Then would come the accounting as we tallied up the gifts and announced who had the most gifts. I’m not sure why we did it. Perhaps it was just a way of passing time. Perhaps it came from some innate sibling rivalry. Maybe it was just a way of immersing ourselves in the excitement of Christmas. What I do know, as best I recollect, is that I usually won.
Hey. This is my blog and I can tell it like I want to!
Kim, Howdy. I came here by way of Dulce's blog (you commented there).
ReplyDeleteAnd so I'm always "trolling" for new places to visit, and I find your blog to be one of refreshing, down-to-earth posting, almost like chatting.
And so I shall be BACH (Schwarzenegger taught me to say it that way!) and I am a violin player.
Merry and JOYFUL Christmas!
