Every Christmas mom done the house up like santas groto, She loved christmas and made sure everyone else did too, when we was Children Mom and Dad would stay up all night Christmas Eve, i never did understand this, i think its because Mom got excited, Then when we all grown up as we was to old to be spoilt as we was as kids she spoilt both mine and our Steves kids to make up for it, Mom always liked us to go over to them for Christmas,You would think she was feeding an army.
