- The stores here usually stay open until about 6 on Christmas Eve...as I
- know all too well, since I'm usually there. :-)
- Having children around at Christmas does make it more enjoyable...we're
- going to have a wonderful time for Patricia's first Christmas, but at five
- months and 18 days, she may miss some of the excitement. She'll also miss
- her Mattel Melody Lights Go Round, the one toy I really wanted to get for
- her...all the other eager grandmamas obviously got there first.
