holiday memories popping up

About 6 years ago - before my Nmother passed away - we spent the Holidays at her place in the Southwest.

She and my father had a habit of watching TV until 2am and sleeping until 2pm. My kids were about 3 and woke up and tore into the Christmas gifts. When she finally got out of bed she had a total RAGING meltdown that I didn't force them to WAIT so SHE could watch them open gifts.

I just stared at her. I thought she was kidding. I knew she was unbalanced but to FORCE 3 year old twins to NOT open gifts? right.....

And I am going to negotiate Peace in the Middle East tomorrow too.

SHEESH....

another reason I LOVE The holidays
